Looking for advice please.
We have had a pair of 'paired' rabbits (m/f, neutered) for 3 years.
They were around 3 when we took them on and are devoted to each other.
The male has been getting thin / tired. Yesterday I noticed he was sitting alone in the bedroom of the hutch looking like his time was coming to an end.
The larger rabbit bounced and knocked him over so we brought him inside to an indoor pen so he'd be warm and quiet for his passing.
This morning he died. Children very very upset.
Other rabbit looking a bit lost (though there are 2 GP's for company, and they all get on well).
Do I 'show' her her dead friend so she understands 'where he has gone' or would that be pointless / wrong?
Also - child doesn't want to bury Rabbit in garden or cremate.
He wants to buy a huge huge terracotta / plastic garden Urn/Planter and put him in there with some plants on the top. Is this practical?
