Answer
Hi Veronica,

I am sorry to hear your bunny died after falling.  They are more delicate animals than dogs or cats, sadly, and can't take a fall as well.

I am sure that he knew you loved him and would have done what you could to prevent it.

If you get any rabbits in the future, you may consider keeping them in a room indoors.  They can be wonderful indoor pets.  There would be less chance of him falling in a room.  

Also, anytime your rabbit takes a potentially bad fall, or stops eating, you strongly need to consider taking him to a good rabbit  vet right away, as they can die fairly quickly.  If you don't know of a good rabbit vet near you, start here:

www.rabbit.org/vets/vets.html

to find a House Rabbit Society-recommended rabbit vet near you.  They have international links to lists if you are not in the USA.

Again, sorry for your loss.  Lee
