I had an uncle pass away recently, so I am late on keeping up on my rodent requiems. . .
Bouds passed away quietly in the white tissue bedding of her Habitrail outpost on June 29th, 2004.
She was born as part of Rainy's litter on January 9th, 2003. Boudicca was always somewhat reclusive, and gradually became more so. She had been living in a Habitrail Space Station for almost a year, usually in the explorer. I took her out and looked her over on June 27th, and she seemed OK - no symptoms or abnormalities of any kind. She foraged in a bin, and stashed her food, albeit not too vigorously, but she was 1.5 years old. She then seemed to be sleeping too much, and next check she was gone, thankfully peacefully and with no apparent discomfort.
She joins her mom, Rainy, and siblings, Larry, Peter, Ringy, and Onyx, in hamster heaven. Her other siblings, Zeb, Theodora, Hypatia, Raven, Ebony, Makeeda, and Zenobia, seem healthy and happy, as does her nephew, Stanley, and niece, Blanche.
All will be buried deep together in the same place, in G-W cemetery. (I have to get a trowel!).
Taken last September:
Good-by, Boudicca.
I have concerns about the Habitrail, which I will post in another thread.

Better I don't know than do that.
