I am so sorry about Popcorn. It’s so hard to know what caused this since they hide things so well until too late so often. I commend you on being able to try and find the cause,I’m sure it was hard.

Dam. I'm sorry to hear that!My pretty girl died this morning. Yesterday she was more quiet but with the group. She even ate a couple of little earthworms. This morning she was clearly dying. I teach Biology so I opened her up, after she died, before I buried her. It was as if her gut leaked all over her inside. Very smelly and full of brown liquid. I could not find any sign of eggs or anything hard (metal or plastic). Because she went from happily running catching bugs to hiding in the bushes so quickly, I am thinking she ate something. Blocked intestine maybe or poisoned insects. I did not look very hard, it was too difficult. Any ideas? Popcorn will be missed.
Sorry for your loss! The description you gave of her internals definitely sounds like a form of rat poison. I sure you went back to when she began acting different & trace and find where she was in hopes your other animals do not get into the same stuff.My pretty girl died this morning.
