:( :( RIP Mo :( :(

Well what a horrible thing to wake up to.

Mo is dead. I came in to find him in exactly the same position as he was when I went to bed last night and he was non responsive and cold. I picked him up and there was no movement or anything. I am so upset by this; that little bugger was a charming determined fella and I was really hoping that, by my looking after him, he may have had a chance of surviving.

I think he just never ate enough as, compared to the amount that Jesus puts away, he was nibbling about 1/1000th of the food.

So, here are a load of pictures of the little fella. I'll miss you, Mo.

The day he arrived
The day he arrived
Exploring his first home
Exploring his first home
When I thought he would eat bugs
When I thought he would eat bugs
He always moved around
He always moved around
He never did stay in that shelter I made
He never did stay in that shelter I made
In his new, larger, home

One of the few times I caught him eating

He found a patch of sun to rest in

Mo loved soaking in his water

He let nothing stop him
He let nothing stop him
Though he did sometimes get stuck in his pond

I am going to have this picture printed and framed

He had the habit of falling asleep mid stride

This time he fell asleep with his head on a rock as a pillow
This time he fell asleep with his head on a rock as a pillow
But even with bad back legs he got around
But even with bad back legs he got around
I needed to save him many times a day

All that exploring and tipping is tiring, y'know

As I said, he gave it a go always

Mo with his lucky clover

When Jesus arrived, Mo made friends

Here you can see the difference in their characters

As per, Mo is off exploring

He was ALWAYS active
He was ALWAYS active
But got into scrapes like this multiple times a day
But got into scrapes like this multiple times a day
Here he is, striving as always.
Here he is, striving as always.
RIP.

    1. Well I think he maybe wasn't eating properly; maybe i didn't give him stuff that he wanted to eat, though he did nibble a bit. I don't know. His back legs never worked so he wasn't fully well from the first. Such a shame :(
