Name: Rufus Sex: Buck Variety: Black Berkshire (mismarked) Date of birth: 9 September 2001 Died: 21 December 2002 (stroke?) Number in litter: 12 Weight: 458g (4 February 2002)

Rufus was just as active, nosey and good-looking as his brother Harvey. He was very sweet and had the most amazing white whiskers, but his face was barbered by his brother. He was a quiet and gentle boy, who was never bossy with his cagemates. His best friend was Moffat and they could often be found sleeping together in their hanging ball. Rufus suffered from respiratory problems and suffered a possible stroke at only 15 months old.
