Beatrix Potter
Mama Doe
I'm devastated I really thought that the four wild babies I've had since they were about 4 days old were going to be ok.
Parsnip died tonight between 8.45-10pm. I don't know why, he was one of the bunnies that needed extra encouragement to feed but once he had the syringe in his mouth he was fine. He didn't eat much for 2 feeds yesterday but this morning he had about 11.
He has seemed fine all day apart from his feed this afternoon. First thing that happened was when i got him out of his box i noticed he had been laying in some poo which didn't look very solid. When I picked him up he was covered in it so I had to clean him up.
then when i tried feeding him he didn't want anything and he wouldn't swallow any food if i put it in his mouth. He just didn't seem right and both myself and my partner didn't think he was going to be ok.
i put him back in his box and checked on him about 8.15 ish. He seemed a little bit more active than before so put him back in until i looked in at 10pm and found him.
his bottom was really dirty again and it looked like a proper poo had been done but there was also lots of runny bits.
i'm absolutely devastated but wonder what on earth happened to him?
