Dear Hoppers,
I have some sad news to share. Bini has crossed the rainbow bridge. We always knew this day would come, but the pain is immense. It took me some time to share this news publicly because I needed time to process it before breaking people's hearts. Have I really processed it? Not really. It's still hard, and posting this will probably make it even harder. Bini left a legacy. He showed the world that bunnies are intelligent and was a treasure to the bunny community. The last day was definitely the worst day of my life. That day is extremely traumatic for me. You can imagine I did everything possible to keep him alive. It was like racing against time, and my options were running out. I just didn't want to give up on him, but some things are out of my control.
I appreciate having had him for so long. But no matter when it happened, it wouldn't be easy for me, as Bini was my first-ever pet.
I'm sure you have many questions, and I'll hopefully answer some of them over time. Please respect my time.
-The Big Questions:
-How?
GI stasis. Despite the fact that he ate only healthy food, mostly hay, especially during his last years, it got him. I caught it pretty fast, but none of the treatments helped this time.
-How Was He Before?
What makes it even harder for me is that he was healthy, had great blood work, and was in very good shape. He was running and hopping up the stairs so quickly. He was a legend until the last day. No one could tell he was getting old. It just happened so fast.
-What About Bini Jr?
Bini's cute little brother is still here. He's quite talented and social. He loves basketball! No bunny will ever replace Bini, but having another bun does offer some comfort. And it's quite challenging to start all over again.
Are You Done With the Bunny Community?
No. I know we've been away from YouTube for a while, but if anything, this is just the beginning. I'll never stop promoting Bini and his legacy. The bunny community needs to be heard. We still have a lot of work to do.
We'll be back on social media soon. New videos will keep me busy and may provide some comfort, just like in the old fun days when we made funny, entertaining videos. Be ready for us!
Losing a pet is sadly part of life, but what we built together is forever.
Bini will always be in my heart, no matter where he is. ❤️ Yours, Shai.
