oh me oh my!
Was so good to be home (finally, after my mum delaying me a bit with a takeaway) last night, and sleep in my own bed, watch my own tv, use my own bathroom, look after my own pets.... although there is now one missing.
Sadly, my icckle jet passed on last night. He was the teeniest tiny bunny you have ever seen, and was only 10 weeks old. Stuart buried him in the garden.
Our initial thoughts were that he might have been squashed by big jasper, or maybe because he was so tiny it put a strain on him, like a premature baby or something. But after checking things in the cage, it appears that the water bottle was more than likely to blame. I discovered that no water was coming out when I pushed the bearing, so there was like an air lock inside it. It does sometimes happen with these animal water bottles though sadly to say. This seems more likely than anything else, so it was probably dehydration that killed him, though it is odd that he was still hopping about happily half hour before though.
It will remain a mystery, but from now on Im going to be extra cautious with jaspers water bottle!!
