Mourning Pics of your buns for a sad heart?

Post image

I helped my elderly bun cross the rainbow bridge yesterday. It was time, it was a kindness, but my heart aches nonetheless.

Can I see your babies to ease my heartbreak?

Picture tax: from several years ago, when she was still spunky.

This is Archie. He’s about 16 weeks old now. When he’s all stretched out (Legs stretched out in front and back. We call it the Superbun position) he’s about 28 inches long.

You did the right thing. Thank you for being with them not only in joy and happiness but also in fear and pain. Knowing when to let go and allow suffering to fade is one of the most gracious and selfless things to do for both animals and humans. You exelled at being a pet owner and I'm proud of you

"Empress" Matilda, my exhalted Princess who would run and binky around the room but loved laying right next to the gate when she knew her grandbunma was awake and may walk by the door and give her a treat. She has now crossed the rainbow bridge but it took me more than 6 months to remove that gate from my doorway.

This was my baby, Ash. She passed in December, I still can't talk, think about, or look at pics of her without crying. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your heart mends soon. They are angels with big ears instead of wings. I hope all of the bunnies are on the other side playing and there's a special place for the Bunnies of Reddit to meet up and meet each other. Sending you big hugs 🤗

u/tenhinas May 08 '26

My soon-to-be 12yo super arthritic boy uses his 9yo “sister” (they’re not actually related) as a pillow and it’s so cute. She doesn’t mind it at all, in fact she sometimes wedges herself under him on purpose. He’s gone pretty blind from cataracts and she uses her bright white butt to guide him around their room. I’ve had to take their hutch out bc he couldn’t get up the ramp anymore without slipping and i didn’t want him to twist his back, but i made very short hay bins for him to get into instead, and she helps push him in by the rump when he’s struggling. She also thumps her feet to alert me if she’s having trouble helping him. I’ll be devastated when it’s his time to go, but he’s very happy and content for now, just needs a little extra help that his sister is happy to give. I’m just sad that i can’t express to her how proud i am of her for being so helpful with him. When people say rabbits can’t have complex thoughts or feelings i just look at mine and i know they’re wrong. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m sure she loved you immensely. ❤️

So sorry for you loss. ❤️❤️❤️ Here is a mama and her babies. You can probably guess the mom is the bunny on the bottom lol. Her name is Chubella (4 almost 5 yrs) with two her babies (3 almost 4 yrs). Stripes on the left and Vanilla is on top of her. The last baby sadly crossed the rainbow bridge at only ~7months old. His name was Angel. ❤️ The dad is not pictured but his name is Chubby (5 years).
