i think my rabbit is depressed

Question
i owned two mini rex rabbits and one of them died recently. My other rabbit, fuzzy has been acting strange lately. She used to love attention from strangers! Know she just buries her head in between an object. How do i make her feel better? is this an effect from her sisters loss or might it be something else?

Answer
First I want to say sorry for your loss, this is never an easy thing to get through for rabbits or people.  I do think this sounds like depression or stress from loosing her sister.  This is very common in rabbits who have bonded. The best thing for her right now is lots of calm, loving attention from people who she is used to and some time.  Just like people rabbits go through a grieving period and it may take her a while to get back to normal.


Good Luck
