Im not sure how old he was. But we had problems with him from the start. We bought 4 baby balls at the show
1.1 albinos
0.1 pastel
1.0 pied

And all the others started off great I even got them to switch from mice to rats. But the pied didnt want to eat at all. He shed and still did not go to the bathroom I soaked him every night. I didnt everything. Well finally he went to the bathroom and He took a f/t pinky mouse and that was a week ago and he passed away last night. he ate once the whole time we had him and I had to open his mouth and stick the mouse in his mouth for him to eat it.
