I am also sorry to hear of ur loss, it hits very hard when we lose a beloved critter. I just lost my CoeChi CHIEF on Sunday appro. 6pm and am still having a hard time letting him go.
Doid u read the online Ezine, it tell u how exactly to do an Necroposy on ur cham to learn the cause of death. I have already decided i will be doing an Necroposy on my beloved CoeChi to find out the cause of death so i might correct any husbandry mistakes on my part and make me a better keeper foor my tribe. i will keep his heart in a little glass viel so it is going to the grave with me when i pass, and will hold a cermonial sacred circle to honor my love for his complete devotion and seek his soul where it roams in the heavens...
