Bunny update and CINNAMON

[Meghan]

I haven’t been on here in quite a while, so I thought I would give you all an update on all the bunniness.

So.   Remember when we thought Ashlee was preggo?   I really didn’t have a say on whether or not to keep the babies, so my parents decided to let her go through with it.  Within a couple days of when she was due, she built a nest, and laid on her side all day.    She never had the babies.  We think it was some kind of miscarriage or a false pregnancy, but we can never be sure.   She may not have been pregnant. 

 The bunny I found in the woods, Cookie, died in June (I haven’t been on in FOREVER!)   We think it was just of old age, since there was really not much else it could’ve been, except for  a disease of some sort.  We had him for a month maybe until he passed away, so we had no idea.  He died in my arms, and went peacefully, in his sleep, and we are glad that he wasn’t in much pain.

Ash slipped away, too.  Somehow my little brother (He was 8 at the time) let her out into the yard, thinking she would play with him like our dog does.   He then ran inside to get something, and when he came back out she… wasn’t there.  Pretty sure a predator got her.   I try not to bring it up much, since the one obvious reason, we miss her and its sad (Alllllrigghhtty thennn)  And  to not make my little bro feel guiltier than he already is.  He cried for like  5 days straight.  Anyway, that happened in August. 

THEN.  Late October, my dad offered to get another bunny, despite me saying I was done.  I did want another bun, but I was afraid of losing it, so I held off until then.  Our shelter had one bunny, and we were going to adopt it, but someone already did.   So we went on Craigslist and found an add.   This guy had an “oops” litter, and was selling them at a way-too-young age; five weeks.   The babies weren’t being kept with their mother and it was obvious that this guy had no clue how to take care of bunnies. There were just a few babies, and he said that he had friends that are taking the rest if they weren’t sold in a few days, since hes going on vacation.   So we took one home, and he was desperate to nurse.  He was sucking on anything he could find, searching for milk.   So we went to our local pet store and  bought formula that would be suitable for him.   Long story short, he is now two months old, not bottle feeding anymore, and perfectly healthy. Hes also super cuddly and playful and just has a great personality.!

Ill post pics of CINNAMON later

Welcome back Meghan…

I’m sorry to hear about the losses of your other bunnies, that’s very sad.

I’m very happy you were able to get your new bunny though and tried very hard to get him past the baby stage. I’m glad he’s doing well!

I am going to move this thread to the Welcome section tomorrow (or one of the other forum leaders might do it) since the bonding section is for people bonding multiple rabbits.
