We got them a friend, a little baby who they loved, but then 2 weeks later Felix suddenly started sitting constantly and not squeaking or eating. We took him straight to the vets & she gave him & Bruce antibiotics, but it was too late. The next evening, Felix started breathing terribly loud & crokey & eventually he died in my arms. It was the worst thing I've ever had to see. The next day, Bruce's breathing began getting louder so we took him to the vets the following morning & he was put to sleep. The vet thinks the baby (who was & still is perfectly healthy) may be a carrier of a URI but who can't himself catch it.
It's been so difficult thinking that if it wasn't for the baby Felix & Bruce would still be here,, but I do now love Toby (& his brothers Timmy & Freddy who we got later) just as much as I loved my little men. & I know Felix & Bruce know we only got them a friend because we wanted to make them happy because we loved them so much.
