New New Easter.
Came to us from a breeder about an hour from here. She was part of an overstock issue with that breeder. We had her for about two years. Her age was unknown.
Justin met her and just fell for her. Marvellous rabbit. He named her New New Easter (after his stuffed bunny named Easter).
Not the best example of a Red New Zealand, but overall, a nice rabbit. Had the perfect temperament for a boy child's pet. Very calm, unflappable rabbit.
She disliked being alone too much. I often would foster kits on her for growing out.
She'd gotten sick a while back and had responded to treatment. I didn't quite trust that she was completely better so thought I'd put her out in the 4 x 4 for the summer, and potentially forever. Gave her a nice big area to roam around in, lots of room to foster kits in, and made her even more accessible for Justin to play with.
She was fine one moment, the next she was not.
I had planned that I would put her out of her misery after doing bunny chores, but she took that necessity away from as she passed away by then.
She is sadly missed by one four year old boy.
We buried her behind the rabbit tent with her favourite weed planted over her.
