@amietuffs Thank you for your comment. I still cry even today when I watch her memorial. It took me a while after she died to even attempt a memorial, but I knew it had to be done. Thanks again!

I want to thank all of you who followed little Melvin's life. I truly appreciate all your kind and loving comments. She will always be with us, and, yes, I do cry whenever I re-watch her memorial. It chokes me up every time. We miss her so much. Thanks again! Sandy

I raised a wild cottontail myself a few years ago, but she passed away at age 2.

I did everything right, she was healthy and happy, so I gather that wild rabbits just aren't long lived.

I know how you feel, I want to let you know cttontails die at 2 yrs old, Mine died just under a yr, Im sure everyone has trapped and tamed a cttntail before. His name was Gomer, and your video made me cry uncontrolably because I MISS GOME GOME!

i just watched the videos of melvin & congrats on getting her to live that long! i recently found 4 baby cottontails, i tried to nurse them but all have passed away :( even tho i had them for a short period of time it was still heartbreaking. what did you feed melvin when it was a baby? i fed them kmr.

All babies get vital, necessary antigens/bacteria from mothers milk. When they don't get that from their mother their immune system gets compromised. That's what someone told me. So that could be why. Plus they don't live long in nature because so many things kill them. They can develop cancer too. So who can say. Their is little or no research/information about them as they are considered pests most people try to kill. Their are breeding programs in certain areas where you could get information

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it is to lose a bunny.

[TrueEnergizerBunnies]

Aww I'm sorry to hear about this. I just lost a few bunnies myself. Wild rabbits don't live much longer than a few years so I hope you know none of it was your fault :)
