I had a pair one day, that was together from birth. They had 4 litters, but
then I didn't want to have pups with them anymore, so I separated them . Mom
stayed with girls, dad with boys - from their litter. But dad wasn't good
anymore and he passed away in one month. He wasn't too old to die. He wasn't
eating anymore, but he wasn't sick. He was just sitting in the corner and
doing nothing. If I knew he will die, then I wouldn't separate them.
(sorry about my grammar)
