On August 22nd, 1999 I got a call from a girl who informed me her bunny had a baby an she didn't know what to do. She said there was only 1 baby and she didn't know when it was born since she only checked on the bunnies every 3 days or so. My husband and I went over saw the bunny's cage sitting up on top of their bar. I went around the bar and found 2 baby bunnies laying on the concrete floor (about 3 feet below the bar) that had managed to crawl out through the wire cage and fall off the bar. The babies were very cold and I was amazed to discover they were alive. The 4th baby was laying on the wire cage bottom with its little legs hanging through.

I was infuriated at the situation since I had given the owners information on proper rabbit care and they had ignored everything. I took the mama and the babies and brought them home with me. 1 baby died that night of a broken back but the other 3 survived.  I named the babies Precious, Hope and Treasure.  Hope, now called Beaker and Treasure got adopted and I decided to keep Precious.

    Very sadly, on 11/4/99, Mama Bunny (her name was Snowflake) passed away.  The vet did a necropsy and it appeared that she had a sudden onset of viral pneumonia that caused lesions in her lungs.  Precious was very sad and depressed now that she was all alone.

I decided that Precious was going to stay on with us forever so I began to bond her with Peter, Sheleg, Harry and Fluffy.  These bunnies are generally calmer as they are older bunnies and have always been excepting of new bunnies.  I put her in with them on Saturday and she has been with them since.
