Why, hello there. (Part 2)

A couple of weeks ago I got a phone call from a friend... her husband had run over a rabbit hutch with the lawn mower and there were babies in it. 😭 One died instantly, but there were 3 left. Of course I took them. They looked to be about a week old - they still had their eyes shut and everything. Despite me and Shaun reading up and doing our best to be good bunny parents they all died within a week. 😟

One acted strange from the start... it seemed like that one might have had internal injuries or was just traumatized. It was the first one to die. The second one I thought was probably ok, but it wasn't as curious or aware as the third. It died next. The curious one did really well for most of the week and I actually thought that one might make it... however, we were not so lucky.

From all of the reading I've done online baby bunnies are REALLY hard to keep alive. But AMC wouldn't take them unless they were really sick or obviously injured and the last time I spoke with the museum they said that they didn't do much rehabbing these days so I thought I'd give it my best shot. My main problem was getting them to poop... gosh, I really can't tell you how much time I spent wiping bunny ass. It was a lot, though. Anyway, they were really cute. This is Noggin, the last one to go. Here is a video:
