Pandora has suddenly left us to be a star on Planet Guinea; she is the dark star with shiny patches of gold that lingers in the background, but does occasionaly and unexpectedly move out to the foreground.
Pandora came to Planet Guinea as part of the Satin Study, we had plenty of purebred Satins donated by breeders but no pet Satins to compare and contrast with. Some very thoughtful Humans brought Hope and Pandora from their local pet shop and donated them so we could monitor them for signs of Osteodystrophy (OD) throughout their lives.
Pandora was not only the heaviest Satin on Planet Guinea she was the heaviest resident! For a while Pandora was a little unsure of her position in her group and viewed newcomers as a threat, but as time went on she became as accepting as her friends, she was part of the group that helped Goldie and Little Miss Lucky overcome their problems.
Pandora didn’t show any signs of OD when she went to be a star on Planet Guinea, neither had she had any weightloss problems. She showed that OD isn’t a certainty in pet guineas, it is perfectly possible to have a healthy pet Satin
