        Does anyone know how quickly bunnies forget their litter mates? With cats, it’s as quick as 4 weeks, but I’m not sure about bunnies. The wonderful woman I adopted Oreo from offered to give me one of his brothers after the loss of Butterscotch. Oreo was with his brothers for 3 months and I have had him about 2 months. I am going to take a wild guess and assume he has forgotten his brother by this point and I would have to go about the bonding process from Step 1.

        Here is Oreo by the way. He loved Butterscotch and comforted him during his last few hours before I got home from work. He had his face all squished up against Butterscotch’s. He loved him like an older brother and their bond was so cute. He has since recovered from Butterscotch passing, which I thought was quick, but he’s a very goofy and aloof bunny.

          They might have forgotten each other but can still bond well. The more closely related animals are the more altruistic they tend to be to each other. This cuts across the board in most mammal species including humans.

          Most animals know relatedness by smell.
