My condolences. Do we know how the bunny got out of the cage?

There are two scenarios on how bunny got out. #1 Little Boy may not have latched the cage back when he fed her yesterday or #2 Our horses got out last night and I noticed horse prints all around the cage. They ate all the feed off the ground that Inky knocked out. Our horse Bandit knows how to open any latch, gate, door, etc that is not chained shut. He may have unlatched it trying to get to the rest of the food.

We have decided....no more caged animals. It's just not right to keep them in a little confined space.

Rabbits go into shock rather easily as I recall. When Ms Hertz was little, a cat scratched her rabbit and they took it to the vet. The scratch was small and not life threatening, but the rabbit went into shock anyway.

I googled it and discovered rabbits will go into shock easily. I think it really is the cause of death for Inky.

So sorry to hear about Inky. It is sad when your child loses a pet.

Thank you Isabella. He was doing much better yesterday morning. Today will be even better. Last night he even said, "Well at least now I never have to hear again , Did you feed your rabbit today?"
