My little sweet rattie sisters that came to me almost two years ago have sadly passed away. Here they are in the photo taken when I first got them home at about 6 weeks old.
First I lost Poppy. She died suddenly about 3 months ago, which unfortunately is very common with ratties. Especially females who are often born with tumours.
Then today after a few days of a bad respiratory infection and antibiotics and a lot of tender loving care, little Coco had to be taken to the vet to be put to sleep. It has broken my heart. Shattered it.
These little creatures are so loving and so receptive to our love and attention. They are intelligent and cheeky. They are tiny compared to us but are so willing to trust us and love us as one of their own. They are just like a tiny teeny dogs, and yet millions are still killed and tested on in labs around the world when it has been proven testing makeup and drugs on animals is not applicable to humans. duh
RIP my little angels, I will miss you, your cheekiness, your love and your cuddles xxxx

Oh Linda, I'm so sorry to hear your girls are now gone. I had a girl rat called Rattie and she was so sweet. And yes, they can be incredibly cheeky! At least they can be happy that they had a loving home with you whilst they were here. xxxx
Oh I am so sorry to read about Poppy and Coco. They just look so sweet in their photo. Our animal companions really are part of our family. I know you will have many happy Ratties memories.
Poor little mites! I'm so sorry Linda.
