The Empty Warren

It is with some sadness that I report that Biggles, International Rabbit of Mystery, and the last of his warren, hopped off to join his ancestors last night.

So now my Basement o'Rabbits is rabbit-less.

10 weeks shy of his 10th birthday puts him somewhere around 90 human years.

Most of pictures are from when he was young and more active. In his later years he'd spend his days in the box and wait for snacks, then go home to his cage when I'd show up for dinner.

The last 2 months though he's been slowing down and like a senior worried about the basement stairs, he wasn't leaving the cage. We did spoil him silly with the treats though. Half an apple? Branch off the apple tree? Even better (leaves and all, he happily stripped all the bark off).

Yesterday morning I gave him the stalk from some broccoli but after work I visited him and he'd fallen and couldn't get back up.



I'm going to miss the little fuzz ball.

  2. Poor Biggles. I had a rabbit ages ago, Sputnik, who also liked apple branches with leaves and all.

  4. Ach James, that's sad news. It sounds like he was surrounded by love and no pet could ask more than that.
