        My heart has joined the thousands, for my friend stopped running today ?

        Got up Friday morning, went to feed the buns before work and, usually they will follow me, circling my feet and wait for food to be put down but this morning was different, Little Red just stayed laying in the hallway. Immediately I knew something was wrong.
        I called the vets at 8am and made an appointment for 10am, longest wait of my life. I could hear his tummy from being sat on the sofa, it was a bit swollen and harder than usual and his ears were so cold, I whacked the heating up and tried to tempt him with some Kale, he was having none of it. I checked the bunny cam and he hadn’t eaten or drunk since Thursday night.

        My little man died when I got to the vets, he started mouth breathing and went into shock, they put him on oxygen but he died, they tried to resuscitate him but they couldn’t bring him back. I am absolutely devastated, my gorgeous little man has gone after only being with us 5 months, he was only 1, had been neglected by previous owner which lead to him losing his right eye and spending 4 months of his very short life at Pets at Home in recovery.

        Poor Cinders has to say goodbye to another husbun (we lost my 10 yr old Gareth in May this year, that’s when we got Little Red).

        I brought Red home so that cinders could say goodbye which broke my heart all over again. Dropped him off at the vets Saturday morning and saw a rainbow an hour or so later, my precious little boy is waiting for me.

        I miss him so much ?

        I just can’t get my head around it all, he was so young, energetic and happy the night before, it all happened so quick, I’m in bits. I can’t eat, sleep or think about anything else, I darent tell anyone because they just won’t understand. I am constantly trying to blame myself for it.
        “I should have woken for a glass of water in the night and given him a stroke”, “should I have taken him straight to vets without making an appointment?”, “was it my noisy car that put him into shock?”, “if I had kept him at home a little longer would he still have gone into shock and died?”
        All these questions keep going round and round, I just keep beating myself up about it

        My mum and Muriel (the lady who looks after them when I am away) both cried when I told them, I felt awful for upsetting them.

        Every morning since he left I have heard his footsteps in the hallway and felt him jump onto the bed like he always did, I feel like I’m losing my mind

        I just want my boy back

          I’m so sorry for your and Cinder’s loss, AxGizmo. It’s so hard to loose a bunny. You keep hearing your bun, keep seeing him in the corner of your eye, but when you turn your head it’s empty and you remember.

          There are so many questions we’ll never know the answer to. I lost a bunny unexpectedly, 3 weeks ago, he was eating in the morning, he was gone by that same evening, and my head is full of “what ifs”. But all that is useless now, and what matters is that we loved our buns and cared for them and hopefully made their lives better than they would’ve been without us.

          Poor Cinders, to loose 2 husbuns in such a short time. I hope you two can comfort each other a little bit.

          Binky Free, Little Red.

            Oh no !!!! Ax, I am so very sorry. He was loved right up until the end and you gave him the best chance in life. You did everything you could. Really.
            That’s 3 of our BB babies who crossed the bridge together last Friday….

                    Oh no! I’m so sorry. :'(

                    That little face…<3
                    He lived a lovely life with you. Just gone too soon.

                    It is hard to accept when so sudden like this, I know.

                    Sending some extra nose rubs to little Cinders.

                      Oh, Ax, I’m so sorry. It feels like yesterday when you brought him home to Cinders and all our hearts melted at his little face and their bunny cam antics.

                      But he must have known you loved him and had a beautiful happy life with you from the moment you brought him home – nothing like the one he might have had otherwise.

                      Nose-cheek-ear rubs to Cinders.

                        I still see Bandit out of the corner of my eye, and it’s been 9 months. It happens less now that I have Apollo and Luna, but he’s still there. What I’m trying to say is, you’re not going crazy and it’s perfectly normal to feel like he’s still there and to hear and see him.

                        I am so very sorry for your loss of Little Red, it’s heartbreaking to have them go so suddenly, without warning. He was clearly very much loved. Binky free, Red.

                          Thank you guys, my heart is broken but with time it will start to heal a little, although I know I will never get over this. He will always be my little pirate bun

                          I went to a couple of rescue places yesterday just to have a look and see how I felt about even considering getting another bun for Cinders as she doesn’t do well on her own. But I just can’t yet, I feel awful going to work and leaving her on her own but right now I just can’t.

                          She seems content enough when I’m around I just feel awful checking the bunny cam and seeing her sat alone, she has a teddy which she sits with whilst I’m at work but I’m well aware it’s not the same

                          You’re right Q8 it does feel like yesterday, I hate that

                            Ax – It’s still VERY raw – that you even went (to a couple of rescue places? lol) is a massive step….

                            See if you can find one that does speedating ?

                            I couldn’t believe that Zou was in a pen with another rabbit yesterday and having no issues with it (until we all got home * cough cough* )

                            If you see Cinders smooching with another husbun (on neutral territory), that will be enough for you to consider getting another one….

                              You gave Little Red the happiest life. Binky free, Little Red.
