Farewell Gloria - last spiny mouse of her clan

[Die Fledermaus]

Gloria was the last of a big group of nine females that I had in a big tank. I then moved them in December of 2006 to a big tank topper. I watched them for so long in both places. When there were only two left I moved them to a smaller tank and moved a clan of guys into the tank topper.

A few days ago I found Gloria dead inside her wooden house.

Thus ends that clan--one I came to appreciate and care for.

Burials in the usual safe place are imminent for her and many others.

Oh yes, I know I need to update the memorial gallery in my signature. Soon. Busy, busy.

So sorry about Gloria; may she rest in peace.

Her passing represents the end of an era, so to speak, and that in itself is painful.

RIP Gloria and all of your clan who passed before you.
