Oh Well!

The little rabbit didn't make it. It was doing so well, and just all of a sudden it started getting weak and it was lying on its side in a strange way. Then its breathing got shallow, and it died. Eler Beth is doing okay. She's a tough young lady, and she knew it is usually hard to save one that young. But she gave it a try, and I wouldn't want her to ever miss an opportunity to work with a hurt, abandoned, or orphaned animal, because I absolutely know that that's what she's going to be doing in some form or another when she's grown.

Oh well, I have kitten formula and all kinds of cages and tanks and other supplies ready for whatever she's called on to take care of next.

And Samantha, the leopard gecko is doing very well.

Sorry to hear about the little bunny. Your daughter will find something else to occupy her time. There was a nest of bunnies, here... our lawnmower nearly got. Thank goodness we missed it.
