Sadly I had to have one of my oldest rats (Domino) put to sleep yesterday. I knew she was poorly with a respiratory infection but my vet found a lump in her intestines on Friday. It was only a matter of time before she became to ill to carry on so we returned to the vet yesterday morning to find that her breathing had worsened and her liver had become enlarged and hard.

Given she was so old I decided it'd be kinder to help her on. My vet reckoned that if we didn't she'd have died within 48 hours and it'd be a distressing death for her.

Sleep tight Domino

Her friends and sister are doing fine thankfully. Her sis Marble is my eyeless girl and aside from her back legs being a bit wobbly she's still fine and a healthy 430g. :shock:

Thankfully Mouse has filled out a bit now and looks more like a rat

She loves to have a play fight with you though, if you rough her up she'll grab your fingers in her teeth (never hard)

I love my new camera :love:

Silver had a really weird little face, she'll be two in November so is getting on a bit. It's a shame rats and other rodents seem to age so quickly but Silver and Hidey are the same age and none are showing signs of aging yet.

Unsure where she got the spikey do or if this is the fashion in the rat world at the moment or what

My lad got a couple of beef bones from the butchers for his dog so we made some stock and gave the rats a bone to gnaw on too.

Marble is my oldest rat at 2 years and 5 months. Her back legs are starting to get weak but she enjoys climbing around on the sofa and sniffing my lads dog Dusty.

What Marble doesn't enjoy is being loved as my lad found out :lol:

You can just see the little poop she's trying to squeeze out while he's smoothering her in kisses. Funnily enough she never poops on me. :lol:

I hosted a balcony BBQ the other night and Frasier the hamster had a great time hanging out in peoples bras
