Health

23rd November 2011 - Recovering from a sore penis. I thought maybe it was because I'd mated him up two weeks ago, but have now discovered a puncture wound too, so am guessing he'd been bitten by a jealous cagemate. Oooh!
3rd January 2012 - Tight wheezy chest. Responding well to meds.
27th January 2012 - Died in his hammock with bleeding from his mouth and nose. No warning at all. My poor, poor little man. :-(

Temperament

Stolid and reliable.
