Default Re: How long do they live?

I have only seen two of mine die so far. Both within the last week or so:

Houdini - Winter White Male - approx. 2.5 years old - Old age?
Lemmiwinks - Winter White Male - approx. 2.5 years old - Died from tumors/old age

I think they were both the same litter. A third one, Spazz, was in the same litter too. He is still very healthy and still going strong (unusually active considering his age actually). I also have a fourth Winter White, Marilyn, a female I got from a nearby store. She was tagged as a Winter White, but she might be a Campbells hybrid. She looks kinda haggard, but otherwise seems fine. Pretty active. She is around the same age as the other three.

I don't know for sure what killed Houdini. I know for sure Lemmiwinks had tumors though.
