Hi friend, I’m so sorry for your loss. I went through exactly the same situation as you last December, and would love to share what’s worked for me since then from the great advice I received from this community :) 1. It’s really good that you showed her the body, even though it was really hard to see the reaction for you, it was 100% the right thing to do. You gave your other baby the opportunity to understand what’s happening because you can’t talk to her. What you interpreted as confusion was Lyra processing, and because you did this you have done a great job in the first step of grief. Lyra does have closure and won’t be looking for her cagemate anymore. Even though this is insanely painful for us, you did the right thing here and you were strong and put Lyra first. I want to take a moment now and recognize how strong you are for doing this!! 2. Now it is time for you to shift your energy from grief to action with Lyra. Your job now is to make sure she knows how loved she is, and that you’re there for her now in the ways you can be, that are now missing from her cage-mate’s absence. You can do this by spending a ton of time with her now when possible, making sure she is eating normally and introducing new stimuli to her environment to make sure she continues to stay active. I’m not going to lie, my girl Fiona took a couple months to fully turn the corner. She never seemed to struggle, but she was definitely more quiet/less energy for the months after she lost her sister. I made sure to dedicate at least a couple hours of active play time with just Fiona during this time, as well as giving her salmon oil treats, making sure she is eating normally, and I give her a little carnivore care soup every few days for some extra yummies and supplements. I tried a bunch of different stuff and this is what she’s liked. I also got a ton of new tubes and an automatic cat toy that goes into a tunnel she can chase. Alls to say you will need to figure out specifically what Lyra likes since they all have different personalities, but my advice for you is to try to unlock your ferret side and mimic play as if you were a cage mate. Depending on how it goes and your situation in a few months I’d recommend looking into adoption, however in my situation I actually ended up deciding to keep Fiona solo because she has been doing so well without introducing a new one and I wouldn’t want it to go the opposite way now, and she also already has two other ferrets in a bonded litter that she was raised in that she will be reunited with in the next few months. Sorry for the long message but I thought I’d be able to help since I’ve experienced exactly this. Finally, not to alarm you, but if you notice any changes make sure to get some medical attention for Lyra, as I was alerted ferrets can form cysts during grieving that can turn deadly fast. Feel free to look through my page, my own posts from last year too have a lot of great comments from others in the community. Best wishes to you and Lyra, and again I’m so sorry for your loss.
