R.I.P. Dozer

Post by harleyucollins »

Got a phone call while I was watching a movie that Dozer had passed. He was acting strange earlier that day, so I asked my mom to keep an eye on him while I was out. :(

Mom named him Dozer because the first night we had him, he flipped over all his water bowls and food dish and dug 5 different holes. :] Gonna miss that little guy.

Are you sure he isn't moulting? Have you given him a look yourself yet?

Yeah, he smelled horrible and I could completely take him out of his shell. I left him alone for two days to see if he was just molting... but he wasn't. :(
