The little echidna at the zoo died. One minute it was pink and drinking milk, the next it as grey and dead. The vets there are sad.
Rexie was only 160g when I got her, and H says she's raised them from 90g and 80g. If Zoovets can't raise a 35g puggle it makes me wonder if there is a minimum viable weight for successful echidna raising. Maybe the very small ones are too stressy.
