Milky Way's Fnistan, was a Brindle Curly and I got her, Belladonna & Vintergatan on the 23rd of June 1996.
Fnistan was born on the 27th of December 1993, so she was 2 1/2 years old when I got her. I wanted older females this time, and I had no wish to breed anymore, or even have any more cavy babies. Belladonna & Vintergatan was about the same age as Fnistan.
These cavies was the first that was really living in a big area on the floor designated for them and from where they could go anywhere in the apartment. Before I had only had one cavy living freely on the floor, and that was Drutten, but he only had one open cage, and these new females had a whole complex consisting of several open cages. Fnistan was the one who liked taking little walks under the furniture.
Fnistan was the boss of cage all her life. Even when I got a male, Lotus later on, she was still the boss. Sometimes Lotus got very confused and seemed to think that Fnistan was a male...
When I had had Fnistan a long time, I at last received her pedigree and registration, and it turned out that either she was not Milky Way's Fnistan or I got the wrong paper.
When Fnistan got older she lost most of her fur, so she looked a bit strange. She lived for long like this with no problems or ill effects. She was very warm to hold, though. Fnistan was very spoiled and liked being handfed extra nice veggies now and then, especially homegrown wheat grass.
Fnistan died on the 2nd of October 1999.
