Harvey wasn't really a typical lad as he was very active and nosey.
He lived with his brother Rufus, and eventually they both moved in with
Peebles, Moffat and Scotty
and they all get on very well. We had hoped to breed Harvey, but he used to barber his brother and we decided
that this bad behaviour would mean no girls for him! He didn't barber his new cagemates at all, so it must
have been a brother thing. When his Rufus died, he missed him very much, despite having three other cagemates,
and his health was never good again, and he suffered from frequent respiratory infections until he died.
