Girl Rabbit who's name changed to Easter Bunny and then to Baby Rabbit died on Saturday. I really have no idea what happened. I went in to pick her up and she was rock hard and cold. Talk about getting the heeby geebies. I screamed and yelled for like a minute or maybe even two. It was so gross, YUCK!!!
When Karl brought her home we looked up rabbit care on the internet and it told us that they love attention and want to be loved. It also said that when they are babies to let them eat as many pellets as they want and that green leafy veggies are essential to their diets. And that they needed to be let out of their cages for at least four hours a day for exercise. So we loved her (Karter may have loved her too much) fed her, let her jump around the house. And then she was dead. So I googled "why did my bunny die?" And it said: rabbits are easily stressed by their environments and change, they are often sick as bunnies if purchased from a pet shop and also too inbred to live. It also said that they can't have grass or veggies until they are four months old. Soo.......why didn't it say all of these things last week!
SSShhhhhhhhh.....I'm secretly a little happy. One less thing for me to have clean up after.

(chills) I had the same experience as a kid, I went to pick up my bunny and it was frozen dead - so reading your experience gave me the chills...traumatizing childhood experiences.

Sorry to hear that Girl bunny is dead. I'm glad I got to see her before she left this earth.
