Shellonabeach,
How sad for you but what a wonderful thing you did in rescuing those bunnies from the store! I am sure they had a wonderful life with you. You were obviously a good bunny mom because it's only been in the past ten-fifteen years with improvements in nutritiion and health care that bunnies live as long as yours did.

I know there is a very active UK bunny website....I'll have to see if I can dig up the address for you.
