am I a bad owner?
I have had rabbits for 8 ish years now (as followed):
Charile - bought for £5 from the trade it and he was 2 when i got him and died at 7.
Natsy - aged 3 months, who was bought for charlie, bonded etc, but found after a month dead next to charlie, with no obvious signs of death.
Crystal - Charlies second lady who lived for 2 years, but she was 3 when I bought her, she was a rescue and spent her life in a dark shed and used for breeding, We think she died due to shock/heart attack, after my dad heard what he though was a fire work being let off outside my house.
Then charlie was a lone till he died of what i think was just old age, he was healthy etc, but we all come to an end.
Then I bought the twins Bonnie & Cookie, after 6 months Bonnie died followed a week later by Cookie, again there was no obvious reason they seemed healthy etc, no external signs.
I then said no more rabbits.
But on my birthday my parents turned up with poppy and 6 months later molly (my current two females who will NEVER go together.
I feel with charlie, crystal, poppy and molly I have never had ANY health problems, well charlie had bad wind once and i paniced rushed to the vets, am I just lucky with my animals?
I know i had some premature deaths but generally nothing else.
Or do I just not notice things? making me a bad owner?
