mFrame Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I'd had the guy about three years and he was a real character. He had a huge belly and big bushy eyebrows, earning him the nickname 'Grandpa'. He was always in the mix of things and would surprise us with how fast he moved and how graceful he could be when he wanted to. No obvious cause of death. He'd been incredibly active and I think he was alive when I got home yesterday. I walked by and saw him lying on his side in the sand, dead. When I went to nudge him and ultimately pull him out he wasn't even stiff yet. I'm not sure how long these guys should live, the web seems to indicate 2-4 years. All I know is we gave him a great home and enjoyed having him here. We'll miss you Grandpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
