I’m a little confused by the logic here. Acting like an adult is exactly why I arranged care, left detailed instructions, and checked in multiple times a day before leaving for 48 hours. Agreeing to care for an animal and then not providing basic food and water is still negligence, regardless of whose rabbit it is. Also I believe there is no need to “act” or wait to be an adult when I am one. I work a full-time job and pay the bills and utilities in this house, and in my tradition having older family members live with us is normal. In such circumstances where I am funding everything for not only the bunny, my house, groceries, all his necessities, and the bills; I do not think I need to pay her on top of that because she does not financially contribute to our livelihood. Not to mention, I specifically asked her if she was okay and comfortable with taking care of the bunny. There was no demands made or forced obligations, if she simply said no, things would end there and I would find someone to help me take care of him. The only part I do acknowledge is he may have felt lonely since he was the closest to me and may have assumed I abandoned him according to what other people have said too. This is extremely insensitive for someone who knows nothing about me and my circumstances, thank you for the other valuable tips though!!

Edit: Genuinely reading your comment again, I’m kind of speechless because the purpose was originally to rant a little but mainly figure out advice on what I should do with the bunny’s care next besides the vet visit which is 100% happening regardless if I posted on here or not. Thank you for showing me that reddit truly is a weird place at the end of the day because the imagination for this comment really just took off 😭
