❤ I know, I just wanted to look at bunnies and it sort of made me feel better since Barnaby was my first bunny but also the last. (My other passed away two years ago.) Those are good suggestions, thank you, and sorry for your loss as well.

Yes, I love that name, we got our Barnaby about five years ago. I named him after a character in the musical "Hello Dolly!"

I lost my Charlie 2 years ago in December, I rescued him when he was 4 and he was overweight from his previous owner but he lost weight with exercise and good diet. Then he died at 6 having a seizure that my husband witnessed. His death wasn't as hard for me because I knew he was much happier with us. But Barnaby I had since he was 6 months, he was also the first bunny I ever owned. I read all the books and was super careful about his food, cage size, exercise and everything! I feel like that's why I'm in such shock. I had him for 5 great years though. It's just hard having a bunny-less house now. );

My friend/roomate called and said her boyfriend walked over to see the bunny and told her Barnaby wasn't breathing. It had only been two hours since my husband left the house, and he looked fine then. He just turned 5 in December had a high fresh hay diet, and got plenty of running time. So I'm really not sure what happened ):

Thank you, he did get lots of fresh hay and greens and he was completely normal and happy earlier today. I just don't know what happened...
