another bunnie?
Hi,
My baby rabbit just died from a heart problem :'( We knew she was gonna die because she was very ill, but we got her anyway because we wanted to give her the best life we could because we knew it would be short!! So, we got another rabbit with her. Now our baby rabbit has died, the other is soo lonley!! My mum wants another rabbit to keep her company but I'm not sure, I don't think I'm ready to have another one in her place just like that. Am I being selfish by not wanting another rabbit even though the other one is lonley? What should I do?

your not selfish but sometimes you need to put the animals first if you want to keep it. :)

Heyyy! You aren't being selfish, you are just greiving over the loss of a pet. Well, this is just my opinio, but rabbits love comapny and since your not an adult yet and your in school it is going to need someone there with it. Take your time getting over your loss it is a really sad thing; I know I have been through it numerous times and it never gets any better or easier. If rabbits are anything like birds then they can die from depression of beign alone. That does happen to birds if they are alone they will stop eating and eventually die. I don't know if rabbits have the same problem but just to be safe get another one but take your time. In the meantime spend more quality time with it, hodl it more, when you aren't home turn a raido on for it so it at least hears a voice. This is going to sound really weird but I do it for my cat... My cat always sleeps next to the phone so I call and leave a message on my ansering machine and I swear hearing my voice makes him happier lol. Good Luck!

You're not being selfish at all. It's hard to deal with a death, even if it is a pet. Pets are very important to pet owners, so it does take some time to heal. However, sooner or later I think you should get another rabbit. It will make your other one feel less lonely. Don't worry the new one will not replace the old one it will just be another animal to love. I hope I helped! ♥ good luck

hey,
i'm sorry about your loss. You are DEFINATELY NOT being selfinsh. When something dies(animal, person,) you have to go through a grieving process before being rushed into getting another pet. My bunny died a year ago and i was rushed into getting another pet after only 10 days. I'm still in shock of it because i didn't have enough time to take in that she died. Even though i still had other pets at the time of loss, it was difffernt after she died. I think (personally) that you should calmly just explain to your mom that you are not ready. Maybe in a month or so you will be ready for another pet (if you feel this way) right now you Might not want a pet (i don't know) but after a little bit of time things will clear up and get better
hope i helped
best of wishes xo

You're not being selfish! Of course you're not ready to have a new pet. You should think about the other rabbit though, its best friend just died! But just remember, if you do decide to get a new rabbit, its not taking your other rabbits place!
Good Luck!

AWW! omg im so sorry! I have a bunny myself..I think you should definatly get another one for your other rabbit..I mean come on...You dont have to beg your mom to get another one AND your other bunny will be much happyer! No your not being selfish but i really think you should get your other bunny a new companion...

dont worry youre not being selfish... you need some time to get over your other pet... thats great that you wanted to give her a good life! and if you do get another rabbit, dont think that youre replacing your old one... just think of it as an addition to the family! just take however long you feel like you need

I know getting another animal right away may seem selfish - i sure thought it would be when my cat died. But knowing in your heart that no animal will ever replace her is the most important thing you can repeat to yourself while getting another pet. It`s really up to you when your ready to get another one and no your not selfish. Things take time but like i said - keep repeating that nothing will ever take her place. Good Luck.

I think that you should take some time (Maybe like a week) and just get a chance to rethink everything. If the bunny is lonely then most deffinately get another one but only when you are ready.

Well the fact you suck at raising bunnies doesnt help you. But you could use a little practice, go ahead a buy another one, just learn how to feed and "PROPERLY" take care of a bunnie this time.

No you aren't selfish by not wanting another rabbit, even though this one is lonely. You need to let your rabbit get used to the fact that this other rabbit is gone. Start giving it more attention and care. Once you see that your rabbit isn't lonely anymore, then this is the time that you should get another rabbit, but only if you want to. It stinks that someone or something had to die, especially with a hurt problem, but at least you knew it was coming and it didn't happen out of the ordinary, right? Hope I helped :)

My Dad Wanted Another Dog A Couple Times, even Though we have one..I was totally against it!! It Won't Be As Lonely If you Play With it :)!! If You REALLY think It's REally important for the rabbit to have a "play Mate" Or "friend" then get another Rabbit!! it won't be taking the other rabbits Place! You'll always remember the other rabbit! Just Think Of It As Another Friend for the Other Rabbit!! lol
^Hope That Made Sense!

aww im sorry, that was such a nice thing for you to do!! i love rabbits!! umm, what i would suggest is to play and pet the other bunny (sorry i like the term bunny beter than rabbit) alot and just play with him and be there for him like you would a friend!! except you probably dont pet your friends...but just like, give it as much attention as you can. losing someone (or something) you love is very sad and crucial, and rushing a new bunny in there right after something like this wouildnt be the right thing to do. first let the bunny adjust to how things are before you intruduce it to a new life form right away, at least a couple months. just love it alot and stuff..so, good luck!
