in there i found what the old diet was

60 % iceberg lettice or butter lettice or spinnach
20 % meat (cat food, dog food,mealworms)

Yes when I was a kid I had one for about 10 years on a similar diet. Just shows what hardy critters they are.

...and it shows how important things other than diet, like cleaning, lighting, and love are.

23 years! That's awesome.
