Hi Everyone,
Last week, my handsome Bob passed. I had him all of his 8 years. He left behind his pal, Zeus and they have been together all but 6 months of their lives. Bob died at the vet, although Zeuy was there during Bob's seizure and sensed something was wrong. After, we took Zeus to the vet to see him. Zeuy sniffed for a few seconds, then tucked his head into me (he'll do that when in a strange place).
At home, Bob and Zeus have a fairly large penned area. I have 2 large area rugs together. I have left those rugs in place, along with all the toys the bunnies had.
My question is, how long is 'enough' for a bunny to be around the passed companion? I know the ideal situation, but I am curious if Zeus had enough time. Also, He doesn't seem to be 'mourning' in a way that I have read a lot about. Could he still be 'waiting' for Bob to return?
Thanks for any input.
