A good friend of mine and I rabbit-sit for each other. She had a family emergency resulting in her having to leave town. I have had her rabbit got a week. They have been together for a few days before but not this long. I am nervous about separating them. Please advise!

That didnt make sense..... Does she only have 1 rabbit and youre worried about seperating it from your rabbit? If this is the case then best to keep them apart. If its 2 rabbits that are hers and they are bonded and normally live together then you need to keep them together.
The two rabbits really should be kept separate so as not to bond them. They should have been kept apart.
The sooner you separate them, the better. Keeping them together just reinforces the bond and will make it harder for the buns.
Separate, but keep them in pens/cages next to each other, so that they will still have each others company. Then just see how they respond. Biggest thing is to make sure they don't get depressed, and that they keep eating, drinking, and pooping normally.
The biggest issue is that she isn't caged. The one she has was too big to transport spare of the moment and because she had to leave town on an emergency there was no time to figure something out. Her rabbit has just been free range. I will have to figure something out to separate them. Thx for the help!
