Black Dumbo from Tethys Rattery, 23rd January 2002 to 15th September 2003.
Merlin was almost called Marlon, but we thought he looked more like a Merlin when he came home with us. He was a big, cuddly, squishy boy with a sweet nature and a sweet face. He never caused any of the trouble in the cage, he just got along with everyone. He loved being hugged, but his favourite spot was on the back of our necks.
Merlin left us very suddenly at only 20 months, from what I think was pneumonia. He became wheezy in the morning, by the evening he was dying in my arms.
