Tragedy has struck! [Venting]

So I bought one of these for my rabbits last year for Christmas! They love it and used it a lot. I did my best to keep up with keeping it clean. The other day my partner through it in the laundry. And as much as that may not have been an initial terrible idea, the bunny furs clumped up all over the thing and would not come off after going through the dryer nor a 2nd wash. So lil ole me took it outside to HAND PICK all the fur lint off of it. I was doing very good and was almost done, having gotten down to the middle section of the sunflower. I decided to give it a few shakes and few whips to get off any more loose debris before getting down to the rest of it. Stupid me, without realizing, gave that thing a good ole whack.. INTO MY BIG OLE PRICKLY PEAR CACTUS. Although I did not SEE any needles, I was NOT taking any chances for my baby buns. So I just through it in the trash. All that hard dedicated work, thrown in the trash 😭😭 ugh. Thanks for reading this far, just needed to vent!
