Just wanted to share an update. Since after Grasshopper's passing, I kind of took a break. The most I've done in the past few days was just feed everybody and make sure they're okay. I was not ready to clean out his cage, so I left it sitting until I was ready. But when I realized I'd never be ready, I sucked it up, put on my big girl pants, and got the job done, along with the rest of the cages attached to his just to be sure. Just so everyone is aware, I did have feed bags in between every cage, so his urine never went into contact with his neighbors' cages. If E. cuniculi was the correct diagnosis, his urine could've infected my entire row of bucks had I not preemptively put feed bags between every cage. I honestly did that for the simple fact that bucks are known to spray at each other, so I was just trying to keep it sanitary and cause less stress, as they would probably be fighting through the bars, but who knew that it ended up saving the rest of my bucks' lives 🥹

Thank you to those of you who freely shared their similar experiences with this pain and condolences. It made me feel a lot less lonely in the pain I felt ❤️🥹

Very random of me but when god gives you a strong feeling you follow it. There’s two women by the name of Sarah and Rebecca that are in a difficult situation right now and you guys need to know God heard you and he moved me to let you know it’s okay to not be okay and that anytime you need to talk I’m always here and so is God ❤️ we love you ❤️ Don’t take yourselves away from this world. Your work here is not done yet 🙏

I honestly did my very best to get back to everyone in my recent post about Grasshopper passing. I just sometimes struggle with being able to keep up with every comment 🥹. I never expected so many of you would have taken so much time to honor my sweet boy's death, and I just wanted to say to everyone at once — thank you. Thank you for caring about a bun as much as I did. I feel less crazy for being this broken up over losing my sweet bun.

It's so painful knowing he was suffering in his last moments and that to end his suffering was the best thing I could've done. I'll never forget how violent his vertigo episodes were and how terrified he looked. My heart broke more knowing he was absolutely terrified and confused 😭.

My suspicion is that he was suffering from a neurological disorder from what I assume is E. cuniculi, which all rabbits carry. It just takes a moment of a weak immune system or stress to set off this godforsaken parasite, and with how hot it got in the past two days here in TN, I'm pretty sure that's what caused the vertigo, head tilt, and violent rolling to the point where no sort of confinement was keeping his body still. This went from around 5:00 p.m. yesterday with moderate symptoms to around 4:00 a.m. today with severe symptoms, and those symptoms were causing him to scratch his own eye pretty badly, and I have a hunch he also broke his neck and that's why it declined so fast 😞.

Stores were closed, and even then, wormer wouldn't have immediately soothed these symptoms, as it would take an entire month of wormer to even see a change. Any veterinarian with some sense would look at me and say I need to let him go — he's suffering badly. And trust me, I've got experience with veterinarians' opinions on what's humane or not, and this situation was most definitely inhumane to even consider keeping him alive just to put him through hell, to not even be sure that there isn't any lifelong chronic pain, damage, and lack of quality of life 😞

I hope this answers everyone’s questions about what happened exactly and that every single one of you who’s also suffering the pain of having to lose their sweet buns knows that I am so truly sorry you have to even experience that💔

No one will ever replace grasshopper (my standard Rex buck) but I’m gonna need some-bunny to take over his empty cage. I can’t stand looking at it..but I’ve got to continue putting food on the table and I know he wouldn’t want me to have less to provide for my family over my own sadness. With that being said, if you look in my albums, you can see everyone I have that’s ready to hop and I would offer to trade one of my buns that’s ready to hop for a new boy. Please message me for serious inquiries and of course I welcome kind hearted messages that don’t lead to trades ..I’m really beat up and it’s hard enough to make myself be social and continue what I have to do for my farm😭
