RIP Haylie :-(

I'm sad to report that Haylie passed last night.  :'-(  I thought she was taking a turn for the better, but she was gone this morning.  :'-(  I'll miss her cute face in the barn.  She was so adorable and a wonderful mom who produced gorgeous babies.  I've had her for a little over a year, and she would have been three years old next month.  I've never had a mature adult rabbit die like this, so it's hard.  :-(  Will miss her so much!

=( I'm sorry you lost her! My son, Jacob, just lost his favorite and best brood havana doe this weekend. She was the momma to his BOB at ARBA Nationals this year, first granded bunny that he had bred and raised, and was just overall pretty special. She weaned her last litter 6 months ago, and immediately went down hill. We had babied her for that long, and she had went off feed, back on, off again, until she finally started to really nose dive this past week. These furry creatures sure do grab a hold of your heart, and its hard to lose them.

Thank you, Becky! Sorry to hear about Jacob's doe, too. :-( Haylie was the same way, going on and off feed for a month or two now, and then went down hill really fast the last couple days. :-( It is hard to lose them. :( Thanks again for the comment!

Thanks Lindsey. It's been a tough week - the small one in Princess' litter also died yesterday, so I have one baby left. Blah. Well, you can guess that I'm pampering that one baby to death! Life, rather. :-) She's looking good so far...I hope it stays that way!
