Good morning,
Yesterday (10/13/25) I lost my sweet beautiful baby Dale. Everything was so unexpected and fast, my brain is literally in disarray. It will definitely take some time adjusting to. On the other side she was apart of a bonded pair (literally sisters) and I want to help my other sweet beautiful baby Glitter grieve properly.
We allowed her to sit with Dales body for some hours and just take it in, although I believe she’s still looking for her? In the pet carrier, other rooms, furniture, etc. She also doesn’t really wanna be touched right now. She’s eaten her pellets this morning, she ate her greens this evening. She’s drinking water and using the litter box but she’s not really eating hay. They usually eat orchard hay, they have Timothy hay sticks and I have a little leftover alfalfa hay. She’s def eating the stick and alfalfa, but she just looks at the hay bags that they eat from.
What can I do to help her? As mentioned before, she doesn’t really wanna be touched right now. I pet her when I can especially when I’m emotional so she can understand that I relate to her pain. Are there any things I can do to help her grieve but also keep her spirits up?
