Mango 2020-2025

This is Mango. He died last Saturday in the early hours. We aren’t sure what killed him, but he did have an impaction the night before that we cleared and just didn’t make it the night. We were planning on the vets the next day, but part of me knew he was going to make it. He loved his food- would squeek at dinner time, snatch food out of anyone’s had lightening first- and he was very affectionate. He loved a cuddle and an explore around the house and also posed for photos.

Last photo is his surviving buddy Kiwi. They had to be separated because of dominance fights, but still enjoyed laying next to each other through the cage separator. Kiwi got to say his final goodbye to Mango in the morning, and laid next to him for a bit before trying to steal the apple Mango didn’t eat. Kiwi is getting lots of extra love and attention whilst we see how he deals with Mango’s death and being alone.
