I can't begin to explain how special he was. His name was Badger and we loved him beyond words, he brought so much joy into our lives. The house feels so silent without him. It hurts so much to see his cage standing empty. I can't believe he's gone, he meant so much to us.

Oh OP I’m so sorry, what a beautiful little boy. Do you want to tell us a little bit about him? Sorry for your loss, the empty cage is heartbreaking 😔

He had a gorgeous little face - look at his chops! Am so sorry, it's really rough losing a family member, including the furry ones.

So sorry, OP. If you feel able to, do tell us more about him - maybe a little further down the line. He looks so lovely.

He was so sweet natured and so funny, so gentle. He was such an adventure boy when he was younger, and he would run along the top of the sofa and grab handfuls of my hair and play with it. He used to like riding around in my dressing gown and stealing our pudding and making nests. He had a brother called Tiffin who died a year ago. They came along at a really terrible time in our lives and were such a comfort to us.
