I'm so sorry to read this news.
You see this so often with rescue stories, Liz at Rainbow Rabbits use to experience it a lot. Somehow they must live on their nerves, on adrenaline, having to put effort into surviving... then when they get to relax and live the a much more appropriate life, they just let go. It's so hard when it happens but I'm sure your friend did nothing wrong. .. he just found peace.

I'm so sorry to read your update [emoji17] I feel so very sad that he finally got such a wonderful new home and he wasn't able to enjoy it for longer.
I agree with bunny buddy that it seems to be very common for bunnies to survive living in atrocious conditions for a long time, only to pass away very soon after finally getting a decent home. It's an awful quirk of fate. But it just seems so cruel for everyone: for the bunnies themselves and the people who put their heart and souls into trying to give the poor bunnies the kind of life they should have had from the beginning.

So I was planning to post some good news today but sadly it's now devastating news as little Jack has passed away.
I managed to find him the most perfect home with my friend. We found the perfect set up for sale, got it dismantled, paid to have it delivered to her house then my dad spent 2 days building it and adding a floor so it was safe and secure. Jack moved in 13 days ago. I was so so happy for him, he had so much room and he absolutely loved it. Not only that but he had the best new family ever. In such a short space of time they got so attached and it was only last night I was telling my friend how I couldn't have found him a better home. We had plans to get him a buddy too but he couldn't be neutered for health reasons so we were letting him settle in before attempting to bond him with a spayed girl.
Anyway I've just had the most heartbreaking call from my friend, she is in absolute bits. Went to give Jack his breakfast and found him lying dead in his bedroom area. She keeps saying she doesn't know what she did wrong but I honestly don't think she did anything wrong. She's driving herself crazy 'did I not feed him enough, did I feed him too much, did he run into the door'.
RIP Jack you beautiful rabbit, I'm happy I finally got you the home you deserved even if not for long. [emoji3590][emoji24]

I just read this whole thread from the start, utterly devastating
It's hard not to feel very angry towards the original owners. I'm sure that this scenario is only all too common - a rabbit forgotten at the bottom of the garden for a lifetime. And 99% of the time, the owners get away with the neglect with no consequences. There need to be stricter laws in place, but how we can make that happen I don't know.You and your friend are amazing people though, you both have such huge hearts, and even 13 days of bliss must have made Jack feel like he was finally loved and cared for <3 That setup is amazing, perhaps eventually your friend will rehome a couple of rescue buns in honour of Jack? Sending lots of love <3

I really do hope she will do but I know this has absolutely crushed her and she said it puts her off wanting pets. She has so much love to give though and the most perfect set up.I just read this whole thread from the start, utterly devastating

I did have Jack living with me since November so at least he's had love since then but it wasn't until a few weeks ago that we finally had him moved into the perfect place. Xx
