I have some bad news. Pancake passed away today. I think she died from a stroke. I played with her this morning and she seemed fine, but this afternoon she was moving around her cage, and it looked like she was having trouble walking. Every time she tried to move she would do a little weird hop. I moved over to her cage and gently picked her up where she rolled over onto her back in my hands and her legs continued moving jerkily for another minute before she slowly relaxed and passed away. She's about 3 years old and lived a good life. It's hard when they die so suddenly, but I was happy I was home when it happened so I could be there with her. Going to burry her in my parent's back yard next to her big sister Fang. The upside, and downside, is that her sister Waffles and her were separated, so at lest Waffles is probably oblivious. It's always extra sad when cage mates are suddenly left without their sibling.
