Everyone is being very kind. I really appreciate that, since I have made a grave mistake. I'm devastated by it. I was scared to post here, in case I got cyber-lynched, but now I'm glad I posted. My heartfelt thanks. 🐰❤💔

I'll look. Thanks. And thanks for your kindness.

I appreciate your comments, Zuppa. Thanks for understanding.

I will look into this. I've rescued cats and dogs. It's great. However, I especially want a flemish giant. That's harder to get where I am.

Thank you. In the past, I've had older bunnies. I was successful keeping them healthy. That's part of the reason why I'm especially upset about this loss. However, this time, I especially wanted a Flemish Giant. They are harder to find where I am.

I do understand that timothy hay was fine. What I meant was that I didn't know that the pellets were so important. To be clear, the dog kennel was what was recommended, over a rabbit cage, because of her breed (i.e. large when she grows). I took a long time to decide on the kennel. She wasn't...

Okay. :(

Yes. Sadly. Very sadly. I'm even more devastated now.

Thank you. Believe it or not, I did do research. I also asked the breeder lots of questions. Thank you for the link. I put a lot of thought into this, and I'm not sure how I missed the timothy hay issue.

I do appreciate your reply. Now I really feel crappy. I was under the impression that that pellets were optional. I feel really stupid now. That means it was my fault. :( How horrible. I had no indication from her that she was suffering. She really seemed healthy and happy. So I didn't suspect...

Thank you. We had her for about 2 weeks. We were feeding her timothy hay, which is what she had at the breeder. She had also been on pellets, but I hadn't fed her those yet - I was about to purchase them this weekend. She was in my kid's room, in a cage, but my kid spends a lot of time in the...

Thanks everyone. Yes, she was 8 weeks old. I did speak to the breeder. She made some suggestions but couldn't be conclusive. I want to try again with this breed, but I don't want such a loss again, if I can avoid it. I will learn more by following this web page, but thought I'd put my...

We are brokenhearted that our sweet 8 week old Flemish Giant died suddenly yesterday. She seemed fine - healthy and alert. I checked on her in the morning. My kid called me at work an hour later to say that she had died. She was not constipated. She had plenty of water and was eating well. What...
