Aww…Thank you. As soon as we realised she was a peanut, we did all we could to make her feel comfortable. She was the sweetest bunny ever and deserved all the love and kindness we could give her.💗

[@shellypbb13]

I know it has been a year but I’m so sorry for your loss 😢 we had our first (only) unexpected litter December 15th 2019. We had 7 babies but one was a peanut and only lived 4 days ❤️‍🩹 my fiancé and I were devastated, we knew it was going to happen but nothing could prepare us. Over those 4 days I got so attached to him/her, feeding, holding and just constantly checking on him. We did get him cremated so I could always have him with us and we were renting and had no where to burry him. Seeing your video brought all the feels back and I balled like a baby 🥺 so sorry for you loss

[@popcornash9903]

Thank you. I’m so sorry for your loss too. It’s never easy caring for a peanut, knowing their slim chances of survival. Still, you and your fiancé did well to care for him/her so well. Thank you for being so kind. Your peanut was lucky to be so loved.💗

[@Twiddle_things]

May god bless you for caring for such a beautiful, vulnerable being 🥺💖

Thank you for sharing this, for educational purposes and for sharing her journey with us. This made me want to cry, poor darling 😢 💔 Faith is in a better place now, and good effort to you guys x

[@popcornash9903]

Thank you! Faith was a miracle and although we had her briefly, she touched us deeply and will always remain in our hearts.💗

[@Aisha-721]

She's very cute 🥰 What do you do about the seizures? How big did she get? I love 💕 seeing you hold and pet her and her sniffing your hand.

[@Aisha-721]

RIP Faith 😢 I loved seeing mother rabbit licking her in the video.

[@kellyoldfield2009]

I am so sorry for your loss. You did everything you could for the lovely Faith. I have similar at the moment. I have been praying he was just the runt of the little but after watching your video I fear he is also a peanut :( x

[@popcornash9903]

Thank you. I pray that your little one is just a runt, in which case it will just need extra feedings from its mom. If its parents are dwarf breeds, however, and if it stops growing and has bulging eyes, it may be a peanut. Just stay strong and just pamper it with love. Let mom bond with it too. It comforts the baby.

[@wonderjoyvlogs5555]

a very touching video..😢Faith is lucky to have your family..caring and loving..God bless your kind heart..💕💕💕

[@popcornash9903]

Thank you!🙏🏻 We’re just happy she was part of our life, even briefly. She was an amazing bunny.

[@anramaa3619]

Such a touching video. You obviously loved your peanut bunny. By the way she looked for your hand and licked your fingers, she loved you too. So glad you were with her til the very end.

Tengo dos conejitos asi ya tienen 8 dias 😢 me da tristeza saber que moriran y no podran crecer .

[@serenalavant704]

I cried the whole time. I wished Faith would have made it.😭😭

[@popcornash9903]

Yes, I know. We hoped for the same thing.😢💕

[@astarryeyedgirl]

This might be the wrong room to ask this in, but I can't stop myself from thinking about how painful it must have been to be starving for one's entire short lifetime - and the pain of the birth defects themselves. Did you do anything for her potential pain?

[@ratnaroy5440]

Rest in peace faith😭😭😭

[@calebfitzsimmons7142]

I've had 3 babies die recently, it's always so hard letting them go.. r.i.p faith I hope you get all the carrots and loves and pets up their with my lost ones :'(

[@popcornash9903]

Oh no! I’m so sorry for your loss. Yes, losing them so young is always heartbreaking. It was hard for us too when Faith left us. We were so hopeful. Rest In Peace to your little bunnies. May they feast on carrots and binky free with Faith.💗

[@jackilynslyter9552]

Awwww this makes me so sad. We just had our first litter and a little peanut, who was not even half the size of his/her 9 brothers and sisters. Mama had no milk and we had to feed them all with syringe 2x a day. We got so attached to Lil peanut and we named him/her peanut. Sadly after 4 days he/she passed away. It was a very sad day. Passed away in the night. We have 9 more that are thriving and are now 8 days old. They were our Christmas babies

[@popcornash9903]

Oh no! I’m so sorry for your peanut. It is really heart-breaking to lose a rabbit, especially the babies…being so young. We had so much hope for our little one too. I guess in both our cases, we have to find comfort in knowing that we did the best we could for them. It’s really tough when genetics is involved. Still, I must commend you on feeding your new litter! Such a difficult task and for Nine rabbits! Wow! I hope you can share a photo of them when you can! Such an amazing Christmas gift indeed!!!! Congratulations to you and your Mama Rabbit!👏🏻😊

[@jackilynslyter9552]

@@popcornash9903 Thankyou ❤️ It is alot of work feeding 9 definitely. So rewarding to see them grow And now have doubled in size and are 9 days old now. I changed my profile pic to them all when they were first born. Yes we did all we could for our peanuts to help them and have such hope they would survive but actually knowing deep down they couldn't, it's heartbreaking. Having to bury a brand new tiny baby bunny is so hard 😞

[@AliKhan-hf1qu]

😢😢

[@wimpiethebunny2941]

So sad, I wonder if some Total Care formula in a syringe might of helped. Its painful watching her this way. Lets keep faith she's in a happy place.

[@popcornash9903]

Yes, we did ask the Vet about Critical Care but she advised us to stick to rabbit or goat’s milk for the first two weeks. Sadly, Faith started to lose her appetite after a week. In retrospect, it may have been good to try.😢

[@jenyan2081]

So sad, i' ve lost sick 3 kits and did everything to make them comfortable too.

[@popcornash9903]

I’m so sorry😢 You did the best you could and I’m sure they felt your love. Thank you for making their final moments as comfortable as possible.💗

[@michaelacerteza4662]

I feel sorry for bunny Faith. But everything happens for a reason. To handle these sad situations, we must trust in God's plan for every life & everything. We shouldn't feel too sad though, because all creatures return to our creator God. 🙏🏻✨

[@popcornash9903]

So true! Thank you🙏🏻💗

[@bethd83]

I mean, in this case the “reason” is that people (not Faith’s family, who were ignorant about reproduction but seem to have done the best they could with the situation they had, but the creators of these rabbit breeds) wanted tiny cute bunnies and didn’t care that the genes that keep them tiny and cute are fatal if a baby gets one from each parent. So keep in mind that when someone breeds dwarf rabbits, they are accepting that up to 25% of them will be like Faith and unable to thrive, unless they breed “false dwarf” individuals without the dwarf gene into the line. This protects against any peanuts being born, but most breeders won’t do it because it also results in some non-dwarf rabbits that are not fit for showing and harder to sell. 😑

[@julienwatson4827]

I don't mean to be cruel, but arent peanuts completely avoidable by choosing to breed a true dwarf to a false dwarf?

[@popcornash9903]

Most probably. We’re not breeders and Faith was part of an accidental litter. But having read up on it since, it is important to know the bloodline/genetics of your rabbits to ensure a litter without peanuts. For families like us who just adopt rabbits not knowing their history, there’s really no telling what gene combinations you’ll get should they breed. Faith is a product of a Jersey Wooly mom and Holland Lop dad, both of which carry the dwarf gene. Apparently, the likelihood of their having a peanut is 25%. We didn’t know this. They mated early at 4 months. If we had to do it again, we would have separated our bunnies at 3 months before having them fixed but of course, we didn’t know that baby bunnies were able to breed so early! Now we know and hope new bunny owners out there will learn from our experience. Still, Faith was a incredible bunny. And as heartbreaking as the experience was for us, we loved her dearly.

[@julienwatson4827]

It was great of you to care for her and try and give her a chance. That said you should change your thumbnail for the video and also let veneers know how this ends before they view it. Having to explain death to a 3 year old child unexpectedly is not an enjoyable task

[@popcornash9903]

Oh dear. I’m so sorry you had to explain such a sad topic to your child! We really thought the description would be enough warning but let me see what we can do about the thumbnail. This video was done in loving memory of Faith and is our way of sharing our personal journey as well as the challenges and realities in caring for peanut rabbits. Sadly, it rarely, if ever, ends well for them due to genetic problems. In the meantime, may I invite you and your child to watch a video we did on the secret life of Popcorn & Ash. It’s a happy video all about our bunny family. I hope this will cheer up your child. Thank you so much for your feedback! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jorLgWuPmslkfqM

the rabbit need high fat content for the milk... and you should never touch the body... they are extremely fragile.
