E.T.

Milky Way's l'Extra Terrestrial, called E.T., was a Grey Lemon Argente and I got her on the 19th of October 1996, along with Tinsel.

E.T. was born on the 19th of December 1994.

E.T. was my biggest cavy ever, she used to weigh 1800 grams, which is much for even a male (Drutten was my biggest male and he used to weigh 1600 grams). Tinsel used to weigh about 1700 grams, so she was big too.

Even though E.T. was very big she really wasn't just a big ball of fat. She really did have big bones, she was the longest cavy I've ever had, and she was fast and agile. She never stopped surprice me with her fast and smoth movements when she went from cage to cage. Since my cavies have several open cages to walk in and out of, they tend to walk from cage to cage, looking for food, I guess. They still do, the ones I have left.

To the right is a photo of E.T. and Tinsel having a tug-of-war. I think E.T. and Tinsel was relatives, like half-sisters or half cousins or something like that. I never did get Tinsels pedigree, so I can't tell. I did get E.T.s pedigree, though.

E.T. died of a stroke on the 17th of April 1998.
