Two were breeding rabbits and two were pets. I also lost a buck earlier this week. That makes 5 rabbits.
On top of that I lost a one of my Barred rock hens. It has been hot, but no hotter than is usual for here.
I also have a question about Passion Vine. One has grown up into the rabbit barn this year. Could this have poisoned them if they chewed it?

Honey Grilled ChickenHoney Grilled ChickenThis chicken is excellent. It is very juicy and has great flavor. Just be sure to not over cook or it will dry out. 2 tablespoons butter or margarine 1 clove garlic, chopped 1/3 cup honey 1 tablespoon lemon juice 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves Preheat a grill for medium heat. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Whisk in honey and lemon juice. Reserve half for basting, and brush the other half onto the chicken breasts. Lightly oil the grill grate, and place chicken on the grill. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, turning frequently. Baste often during the last 5 minutes. Chicken is done when the meat is firm, and juices run clear. 5 WAYS TO BLUNT BLOOD SUGAR5 WAYS TO BLUNT BLOOD SUGAR
These strategies can lower the overall effect of a meal on your blood sugar.
1. ADD BEANS. Only have time to make instant rice? Just add some beans. Throwing in a low-glycemic-
2. DEPLOY GOOD FAT. Bagels for breakfast? Slather with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Fat slows absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
3. GRAB A CHEESE STICK OR PRECOOKED CHICKEN STRIPS. For less than 100 calories, a stick of string cheese or a few pieces of chicken can transform a potentially blood sugar-raising snack (such as crackers or a piece of toast) into an oasis of satisfaction that will last for hours. Like fat, protein slows digestion and absorption of sugars.
4. HAVE A SALAD WITH VINAIGRETTE. Start lunch or dinner with any vinaigrette-
5. SPRINKLE ON SOME CINNAMON. Just half a teaspoon of cinnamon each day--dust a little on your morning toast, add a bit to your afternoon skim latte or your dinnertime sweet potato--improves your body's ability to obey insulin and take up glucose, report researchers at the USDA's Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center in Maryland. Cinnamon contains a compound called methylhydroxy chalcone polymer that makes cells absorb glucose faster and convert it more easily into energy--so your blood sugar stays lower.
