I wouldn’t be surprised. I’ve always wished for two really really bonded bunnies.
Teddy passed at the end of last September. I had adopted him from a rescue the February 15 months before that and it took almost three months before Blossom accepted him. (And he was the most likely out of the speed dates.) He was already 7-8 years old and he hadn’t been cared for well by his past family. With COVID, the rescue didn’t have him in foster - I adopted before he’d even been checked by a vet. He had constant sneezes and an eye infection and matted fur and too long nails and was still the sweetest little guy. We got a lot of that taken care of but never got rid of the sniffles. He stopped eating hay in the spring… I never noticed with Blossom also eating it and him continuing to eat everything else. Vet spotted kidney stones a few months later when he started peeing way too often and never in litter box. We worked on getting rid of those but turns out he also had a broken tooth. We had two surgeries because vet didn’t get the full fracture the first time. And he was still struggling with the kidney stones this whole time. I thought he was finally getting better with good greens and critical care and starting hay up again… But I came home to a passed away bunny one evening after being out all day. I think it was just too little too late. Now I wonder how long that tooth was bugging him and if that didn’t start off the whole process.
