Peek-A-Mommy was my son's rabbit.
She's been a great rabbit for him. She had plenty of babies for him until she had one bad litter and we thought she'd die. We managed to pull her through and retired her to being a pet bunny.

don't hate me for the messy cage, it was cleaned after the pic was taken and then we'd gotten busy....
She earned her name because as a kit she was raised in the house and she would constantly set down under the edge of the cage and then poke her head up over and then quickly duck it down. It was like she was playing peek a boo. My son had wanted to call her mommy mommy but it quickly changed to Peek-a-mommy because of her cute behaviours.
She spend a lot of time outside until this past summer since we gained a neighbourhood hawk that was taken out most of our dove population. Most of the time she spent it in a cage, but we could also let her hop about.
Over this past year her health started to seriously fade. She would have days where she wouldn't eat her pellets and would only nibble on hay, the only way I got her eat to was giving her fresh feed (green feed). I told my lad in November she most likely won't make it through the winter.. Cosy hidey box or not.

Winter can be hard on bunnies.
She's gotten a bit thin the last month or so .. flat on one side, fat on the other.. we knew she had a lump of some sort within, and over this past week she developed a lump under her jaw.
I had planned to cull her this morning.... as she just wasn't looking good yesterday but just couldn't bring myself to do it so. " I said.. One more night girlie", and this morning she was gone.
She'll be buried come spring in a hole I have dug out back.
