Just weighed three of them.
Freya the Warrior Queen is a whopping 290g! Eek! Willow is 267g. Sphene is now 224g which is better than the 207 she dropped to.

Still haven't weighed Clint, but Sphene is now a much better 230g and Nervous Nerys is 278g.
I have a feeling that the hooligans are going to be big girls as they're only 8 months old now.

I think I'm going to have to watch Willow in PWD terms. She's figured out that if the water bottle is blocked or slow then a quick chew on the bar where the spout rests will dislodge the air bubble.
Hmmmm....

We have today said goodbye to Sphene.
She never fully rallied following Monday and didn't leave her heatpad for two days, was refusing food and water. Judith thought the problem was with her kidneys, and we agreed it wasn't fair on her to let her suffer any longer and she died while I was holding her.
Rest in peace with your sisters my gorgeous girl. Safe in the knowledge that you are loved and will be missed.

Thanks Molette, I haven't even been able to take her cage down yet, I still think of it being hers and she'll need it back, but of course she won't.
I think she was ready to go, and I know she'll be back piling with her sisters over the rainbow bridge.
I'm going to order her urn, the same design as the others and she'll be interred with a few of her favourite treats.

I'm really sorry for your loss, Savvy. It sounds like she was ready, and that it was the right decision. Making sure we do not force needless suffering is also a responsibility we have.

There's no rush to sort the cage. I always found it helpful to spread out all the rituals as it sank in, but I'm sure you have your own grieving routine. It's always hard when it's an end of an era loss, but I'm sure she is in the comfiest pile with Little Amber and Ruby right now.

Thanks Molette and teemu.
Her ashes were returned today and I've placed them by Little Amber and Ruby, they'll stay there until her urn arrives and then they'll be transferred.

I've emptied her cage, but not taken it down yet as I'm waiting for plastic sheeting to arrive do it can be safely stored.
Her wheel, which is only a few months old and has been steam cleaned, has been inherited by The Hooligans so they now have two large wheels to squabble over.
Clint will be inheriting her wooden tunnel, again after I've steam cleaned it.

Well done for tackling it, I'm sure the Hooligans will enjoy the wheel and Clint the tunnel.

So sorry, Savvy. I hope you were able to reminisce a little on the good times too.
