Went in to check on everybunny tonight and Leia sneezed out a big glob of white snot..*sigh*..guess this buys her a one way ticket to freezer camp. We have isolated her and the babies, they are two weeks old. Will start transitioning them with hay and oatmeal softened with milk. On side note, we already culled Cupcake, she just was getting worse. It was not pretty. Hubby had to do a manual dislocation and did it just a little too hard. Her head practically came off and her back legs kicked around in circles like crazy. Don't really want to try that again. At least it was quick for Cupcake. Really bothered my poor hubs...Anyway, I have offered to "do the deed" for Leia when the kits are weaned. Think I will use a high powered pellet gun. Hopefully, at least some of her kits will be resistant and no bunny else will get sick. We realized after the fact that we swapped water bottle between her and Cupcake, so I think that is why she got sick. Bad thing is that she will be almost two weeks preggo when we cull her...bummer. On a lighter note, I may be getting an Altex buck if I can find a way to get him from Corpus to Beaumont, or at least Houston, without breaking the bank. All in all, I am ok. It was not what I wanted to happen, but then again, they are being bred for a specific purpose.
