A long story short...I sold a lady 5 kits of various breeds and ages all being at least 8 weeks old. I dropped them off. She had them and her other rabbits in large separate cages in her extra bedroom .
One week later she emails me stating 2 had died and wondered if I had any kits die from these litters.
I first of all am shocked and saddened that 2 of "my"kits have died.
She apparently didn't want them in her house for the summer and moved all her rabbits to her tin garden shed. It had been(cooler now) but 80(celcius) plus around here during these two weeks, I know our tin shed we keep our lawn mower in is unbearable in that heat.
All of our rabbits had been given frozen water bottles twice daily during that time period and have faired well albeit seeming uncomfortable.
Do you think I am responsible for replacing those kits?
I mentioned the frozen water bottle idea and she replied that she never new rabbits didn't tolerate heat well but still thinks I should replace the kits.
In the future I believe I will ask more questions about housing before placing my kits!
