Thanks for telling that story........I was afraid some people would
think I made mine up! I'd forgotten about making sure they had
sufficient air, but of course that was so...and my bunnies were out on a
closed porch, so didn't bring fleas into the house! Thankfully! I
don't know if the milk I fed them had anything added to it........my
grandmother fixed the bottles for me. I really was a little kid...
