Well sadly, it died of unknown causes two days ago. The night before, it seemed a little unresponsive so I took it inside and fed it some apples and grapes. He seemed revived and was walking around his cage normally, deficating,drinking, and everything else that was normal. I came home from school the day after to find him dead. I think there was something wrong to begin with. That might explain why he couldn't hold on to his mother. He didn't have too much protein (to much cat food is very bad for them by the way), and I didn't have him long enough to be something wrong with his diet. He was fully weaned, so he didn't need formula. Overheating came into my head, but he had plenty of water in his cage and was in the shade in a well ventilated aquarium.

I feel terrible...
