Terrible, horrible decision made :o(

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I have had to make this decision because of my health problems. As many of you know I foster for Fairly Beloved Rabbit Care. One of the bunnies I fostered, Angelina, had babie whilst she was here and I adopted three of them, two REWs and a brown and white bun. I bonded them into my group and they were all living happiy together.

The last few months have been so hard for me, my pain is not under control despite the fact I am so tired I struggle to funsction due to the side effects and I am not coping. My husband is having a tough time working full time and picking up the slack with the kids and housework so I cannot ask him to help with the rabbits so I have taken the decision to rehome the 3 young ones. fairly Beloved have kindly agreed to take them on and look for a home for them so I know they will go somewhere that is a good home and they will be loved.

I feel I have failed them but in the end, the rescue is getting three bunnies they would have had to rehome a few months ago if I hadn't adopted them and they will be spayed and neutered so at least it is a lighter burden for them. I hadn't mentioned this on here because I feel so guilty i thought it was easier to ignore it but I hope you will understand it was a decision made lightly.
 
Aw Ali :( I'm so sorry. I know you're doing what you feel is right. I'm sorry you've had to make such a horrid decision :(
 
I'm so sorry Ali. :( It sounds like you all have a lot on your plates at the moment and it's far better to admit you're struggling than to plod on and worry about what everybody else will think. You've given the 3 of them a wonderful start to life; they'll have been well socialised and that will probably make it that little bit easier for them to find a new home. It must be very difficult to let them go though.
 
As I said when you told me Ali, you have nothing to feel guilty about. You are putting the welfare of all your Rabbits first. You are rehoming 3 to ensure that you are able to cope, both with the remaining 4 and with your family.

You have made a responsible decision, one that I know for a fact must have been VERY hard to do. It would have been easier for you to try to muddle on, but you knew that this was not in the best interests of the Rabbits. You have my full support on your decision.

Spot on ^^^^

(((((((HUGS))))))))
 
Oh Ali I hate to think of how much pain you have been suffering.:( I know it hasn't been easy over the past few years and more recently it has been horrendous for you.

Don't feel at all bad. You have been a responsible and loving bunny mum and Angelinas babies have been well cared for by you. Best thing it that you have done all the hard work and now they can be adopted as happy, well adjusted healthy bunnies.

You cannot control your health problems and pain.

I know you will miss them and big big hug for being so brave. xxx
 
A very hard decision to make - but please don't feel guilty about it, you need to do what is right for you and your family.
 
As others have said, you have nothing to feel guilty about as you are acting in the long-term best interests of all the buns, and of course your family. xxx

I totally agree with Jane.

Hugs to you Ali x
 
so sorry to hear this Ali, a very hard thing to do :cry: No need to feel guilty as it is a decision thrust on you by illness. I'm sure the rescue will find them loving homes.
I hope your health soon improves and you can enjoy the pets you have. Hugs xxx
 
So sorry to hear you're so unwell :( Must be awful for you, both physically and emotionally :(

I wish you were nearer to me so I could do something practical to help.

((hugs)) xxx
 
its not your fault-sometimes life throws us things and we need to think realistically about what we can handle. you are being sensible, and the buns will not hold it against you im certain. you have given them a lovely life so far and that will set them in good stead for the next home. *hugs*
 
Oh Ali, it must have been such an awful decision to make, but you've made the right decision. You never complain considering you are in pain most of the time.

Sending you warmth in my wishes. xxxxxx

Take care.:love:
 
I can't think of anything that hasn't already been said that could help but I wanted to send you some love and (((hugs))) xx
 
So sorry you had to do this but you did do the right thing by yourself and the bunnies. They are lucky bunnies, not just to have had you but also be safe at fairly beloved xx
 
I totally agree with everything that has been said, I can't begin to imagine what a dreadfully difficult decision it must have been. Sending huge ((((hugs)))) x
 
People's circumstances change. Hard decisions sometimes have to be made for the benefit of our animals and ourselves. You're doing your best for those buns despite it being very difficult for you emotionally. Hope the buns can be rehomed and that your health starts to improve. Best wishes.
 
Girl, take care of yourself! Bunnies will find a lovely home. I am sure.
But from what you say, I get the impression that you need to pamper yourself and do things that make you happy instead of worrying so much!
