The reign of Peaches is over.
She passed yesterday.
Peaches was a very special rabbit, born exactly 2 months before my 15th birthday. She was a wonderful mother, show rabbit, and friend. One of my most favorite memories of her was with her first litter. I had been trying for Creme babies for almost 2 years, and she ended up having my first litter in a (large and homemade) carrying cage in our garage during a blizzard.
As I'm sure a lot of you know, we lost many litters in 2023. The first was Peaches'. She wasn't the same since, and after trying and failing 4 or 5 more times, I gave up and she was retired. I noticed how she was deteriorating both physically and mentally, so I made the hard decision to have her put down. This was not something I did lightly, and I thought about it for a long time.
She is survived by her children, grandchildren, and this rabbitry. I'm not kidding when I say this rabbitry (and design business) are 100% built around her. She was my baby, and it hurts that she isn't here anymore, but I needed to do right by her.
Peaches will be missed. 💔
