Is it just me, or have others had rats that suddenly forget how to eat and drink in the same tub they've been in forever? I'm holding a lethargic, super skinny rat right now trying to force formula in her mouth, and I'm so very frustrated. This is the second rat I've had do this with. The other got better and is now one of my bigger males, but I don't think this girl's going to make it. I don't know how I didn't notice, but her and her mate were usually snuggled together so I just checked food and water and left them. I suppose she could be sick, but externally she looks fine. I'm so frustrated. To top it off, one of my (now ex) breeders ate all 11 of her newborns last night.

I'm having a bad day
