Last year i got a rabbit, and my partner got onetoo. They were brother and sister. But when we broke up this june i gotthe rabbits. But my rabbit died, and i think i might hate the sister.

I hate feeding her now, i get upset everytime i go out. Ijust keep wishing it was her instead of my baby :( Will this feelingpass? as its completely unfair to do this to the rabbit.

I am still feeding her, and cleaning her cage, everything idid before. Before you worry. I hate the way i feel now, :( i haventcuddled her since he died either an i feel really bad, like impunishing her.

How long does it last? and will it go away? =/ It isnt fair on her :(
 
Hi SJ, I'm sorry to hear that your bunny died.You're in mourning for your bunny, and what you're probably feeling isthat if you give the one that's left love, you'll be 'betraying' theone you lost. I felt like this when I lost my dog years back - myparents got another one for me before I was ready, and I ended uprejecting him.

Bear in mind that your bunny will be feeling down as well - she's losta friend, too. Most likely this feeling will pass, but try cuddling andspending time with your bunny, because you might find more comfort incuddling than in rejecting her. That's the only advice I can give...
 
I would think also that you mayassociate this rabbit with your partner & the relationship,& this is a big part of your upset. Healing from therelationship should help in relating to your rabbit. If this provesimpossible, however, it would of course be best to find a good home forthe bunny instead of having her live without loving care.
 
I agree with the try cuddling her and see if itmakes you and her both feel better. I'm sure your bunny lovedher very much, and that you can too. She is a part ofhim.

Maybe part of you is also afraid she might get sick and die too andthat it'll hurt if you love her as much as you loved you otherbunny. I know that feeling well, but all we can do is lovethem while can *hugs*
 
Also, if you can, why not try moving her insidethe house? It's easier to bond with an animal that lives inthe house with you, and she could really use the company. Ibet you could too. She might help you through this rough time.
 
Oh, Sweetie...everyone's given really greatadvice...about how your breakup might be part of this, about how youmight feel like you're betraying your bun by loving this one,etc.

I just wanted to send my love and hugs and warm wishes for you and yourremaining bun. It might make you feel better to do specialthings with her. Maybe try taking her to a park, or somesuch...buy her special things to chew on (like pinecones, chewy toys,etc.) The more you work at loving her and doing specialthings for her, the more it will just start to happen. Knowwhat I mean?

It's akin to forcing yourself to smile, and soon finding something to smile about.

I hope all that makes sense, and helps.

I'm also so sorry you're going through such a rough time...it's so hard to go through losing two that were so loved by you.

Our love and support are with you and your bun. I think it'scompletely honorable that you wrote asking for help. It showsthat you care and that she is in your heart. Your heart isjust damaged right now, and needs time to heal. If you twolook to each other during the healing process, the love will start toflow naturally. Especially because I can see it's alreadythere, just blocked by pain.

Let her see your tears, and grieve with you for her bunny friend (andmaybe even for the loss of your partner), and you two will cometogether naturally. :)

I hope this helped....talk to us whenever you need to, ok?We're all here for you...you're part of the RO Family! :)

Warm hugs and love,

Rosie*
