Benji the Bunny Rests on a Hot Day, Cleans, Grazes, & Nurses Her Babies at Dusk! Aug 16 2025 MVI8528

Benji the Bunny is escaping the heat by resting in the shade beneath the slide. I chat and sing to her as she alternates between resting, cleaning, and grazing. Then, as dusk comes, her ears suddenly go forward. Did she hear her babies from across the pasture in their nest? In the next moment, they come racing across the pasture to their mother to nurse! Unfortunately, by this time it's quite dark and it's hard for the viewer to see much of anything, but I excitedly describe what's going on because it is lighter than the camera makes it appear! Sweet Benji, I believe, died on Dec. 2, 2025, during the snowstorm in which the fox came. Benji is too smart to get easily caught, but, as I have seen, she is also very brave and self-sacrificial. I believe that she probably deliberately sacrificed herself when the fox came looking under the bushes - which was observable from its tracks - so that the fox would catch her and not her children. I am absolutely heartbroken without her - the bunny who befriended me and hopped in my lap so many times. It helps me feel better to watch her in this precious video - and to see the bunny that teaches us so much. The loss is unbearable, but she did leave two adult babies (I believe that they're both her babies, but I do not know for sure) who timidly come over to eat apple peels - though not yet from my hand or lap - two bunnies that I can care for. One, Binti, looks more like Benji and is a little bolder, and one, Bergy, looks more like Ginger and is a little more timid.
