the baby died

Well we still have the rabbits we bought a couple of posts ago... and a few more : )
the idea is to have them ready to go right before Easter. The last litter that was born was the mom's first litter. My husband found them half frozen and brought them all in. There were 8 kits (baby bunnies) then 5 then 3 then just one who was hanging in there and doing fairly well. I was trying to get mom to feed her and then mommy rabbit "dried up" and I was nursing her along "bottle" feeding her a few times a day and trying to keep her warm. She did well at first but just started loosing her strength when she couldn't get anything from mommy bunny. She was so little just starting to get some fuzz and fit right in the palm of my hand. Then this last Monday when I went to feed her before work, I didn't have to cause she was dead. I knew that would probably happen and had tried to not get attached but that didn't really work. Needless to say I started my day out pretty depressed and it was a long hard day. : (
