Thank you for you cooperation.

I didn't mind the posts...if someone can find an answer, in time to try to save their little one, then something good might come out of this. There needs to be more research into rabbits! If they did as much research for rabbits as they do horses/dogs/pigs/etc, then we wouldn't lose them so fast...

So sorry for your loss, but you did everything you could. The breeder should be ashamed of him/herself for selling an underage, sick bunny.

Sorry for your loss. Most research rabbits never get anything but pellets as their diet, so they don't really know much about greens and when their tract can handle it. My first bunny I fed greens from our garden from 6 weeks onward and she was fine, but the breeder gave the mom and baby greens from early on. As for my bunny now, I slowly introduced greens at 3 months and she gets them every other day in small amounts, but mainly hay/pellets since she's under 6 months. She sometimes has runny cecotrophs so I didn't want to introduce too many veggies. Again, I am sorry for your loss and best of luck with Max, he's very cute!

So sorry to hear about Ruby, but you tried your best and it just didn't work out R.I.P Ruby.

I know how it feels not to have a savy vet at hand.. RO helped my bunny a lot.
I'm sorry about your loss, May Ruby binky free in heaven! You have a reason to go on and smile though: Max! I hope you can find a new bunny to be his company. May your precious Ruby be happy with God, and playing with other bunnies and animals.
