I am sorry for your loss. I would recommend just making sure she has enough to play with and interactions with you. Not all rabbit pair bond well. So it is possible if you get a new rabbit rica might not get along with it. Rabbits like to play and interact These are important to prevent behavioral issues. Hope that helps
