hi i have had some of my fantastic girls for 1.5 years therefore they are around 3 years old, anyone got any idea how long they live for?

I am sorry to say that due to their hard start in life, 2 years old is a good old age for an ex bat.  Some may surprise you, but the importance is that they have as good a 2nd year in life as they can, to forget their 1st year in a cage.

we were told by the BHWT that they should live about 4 years - they are 18 months when they are rescued.  The oldest they know of was 8.  Glad yours are fab, mine are having some settling in issues - I guess that what happens when you lock intelligent creatures up in a box for the first half of their life.  :-(

i think yes they have had the hardest start, so i spose i best be prepared, as they have been put under immense pressure.  In reply to 2nd post wat probs are u having?
