I took a 4 month old Dwarf Lop off a young woman on Thursday evening as they could no longer afford her. She didn't have any food left and "thought" she'd been on some flakes. So when we got home I gave her a bit of Russell. She was fine for the next 3 days, she didn't have much body on her but she was very lively and I gave her little bits of spring greens and more Russell and she was eating the hay. Sunday they all got some cabbage and I gave her a little bit. She died in the night! Now was it the cabbage, considering I have 80 rabbits who can all eat cabbage happily? Did I overfeed her compared with what she might have been getting? Or should I have tried to get the flakes that she had been on? I feel I must have brought it on somehow. On the Friday I rang the pet shop where the woman had bought her from to find out what she had been eating there and he told me she had been on Royal Rabbit (not Rabbit Royale). He said she would be ok on Russell when I told him that is what I was giving her.
She was going to be Nibbles' wifebun . I think I should have tried to get the same food she had been eating! I am so upset.
