Have just got home from work and went to feed my two bunnies to find them
both dead. They live outside in seperate homes as the are male and female.
Both bunnies had been in good health but was wondering if the sudden drop
in temperature had anything to do with it. Had bad frost last night. Really
upset keep thinking it is something iv done but for both of them to go at
the same time has got me ...
could be vhd. were they up to date with their vaccinations?
maybe fright? something could have got in the garden and scared them maybe.
i am so sorry for your loss.
sleep peacefully bunnies xxx
How awful
It could be that a predator (Fox) was about. Rabbits can literally be frightened to death
As long as their hutches were well insulated with lots of hay/straw then I doubt the cold was the cause. Rabbits can adapt well to cold but not to extreme heat.
If they were not VHD Vaccinated then VHD is another possibility.
Or ingestion of a toxin.
A PM is really the ...
Thanks u for replies. I am just abit shocked that both of them have gone at
the same time as iv already said they were in different hutches which is
why i asked about the weather.
I am so sorry. How awful. I don't know what to say, but my last bunny died suddenly and I had no idea why. Sometimes there is a hidden health problem which is never picked up. The only way I could think about it was that it was a quick loss, rather than a chronic illness.
Sending you lots of sympathy...
