Bluebell 💙
She always came up to her cage door to be pet.
She always wanted a scratch on the nose.
She loved to be let out for photo shoots.
Sweet girl passed yesterday afternoon between 6-8.
Sometimes you do everything you can do. I had been out to the garden 5 times yesterday, and she looked perfectly fine. She had water, shade, and was situated in a breezy location.
I always think "it could never happen to me". But it happens to the best of us. Heatstroke is a big deal.
She left me with 9 babies. (Little Dice passed as well)
I have moved my entire Rabbitry into the barn with fans on them. (I hope to post a video tour soon!)
While this post is very sad, I want to raise awareness about heat stroke and rabbits. It happens to the best of Rabbitrys. I have talked to other breeders and seen that yesterday was a rough day for many of us. Please watch your babies in this heat. And if you are already doing all you can, this post isn’t meant to scare you. The best you can do is all you can do.
I will bury sweet Bluebell and Dice by a hidden creek on the property. ❤️ They both knew they were loved before they passed.
