In reply to AJ.

Hi AJ – unfortunately not, it would be 37 years old by now if it was still alive which would be very impressive, they made it to around 25 years though so had a good long life.

Pretty good going hey…. Especially seeing as I rarely feed them!

Can you remember when we got them? Must have been around 1988-ish by my reckoning?

Absolutely amazing that you’ve still got these Alan. I can’t actually remember what happened to mine, don’t think they died, think I may have given them away. So I guess they could still be going strong somewhere!!

They are just the cutest and soooo funny!
