So i bought Butters a few months back as a feeder, when i opened the box he leaped out and onto my shirt climbed up my shirt and sat on my shoulder looking at me with almost a grin on his face, my ex and i fell inlove (was girlfriend at the time) he was the most awesome pet rat, he was only just weaned and was the most friendly, calm and loving rat iv ever seen or had. i would literally open his cage and he would scamper up my arm and give me a kiss then sit on my shoulder, he took naps with my ex every day and ate anything u would give him, he gave my ex half of the piece of Doritos we gave him one day while playing.

he hasnt been feeling good, he was only like 4 months old and he came down with something. we took him to the only 3 vets in a 100 mile radius that would look at rats and all said it was nothing, "hes having allergy's to something in the cage". we knew this was crap because no matter what we tried it just got worse and worse, finally fed up and $150 down the drain i took him back and demanded they take a better look at him then just saying hes "sneezing" they told me he had fluid in his lungs but it would clear up on its own in no time at all... that was a month ago, all we could do was watch as he got worse and worse, well tonight i came in and he was laying on the bottom of his cage... i scooped him up, called the ex who is otw right now /: and put him in a bag and put the bag in a mason jar... we are about to bury him out back.

so upset that all they would do was hold him for a sec and say he was fine... he came to his name and gave kisses with the sound and everything on command...

sorry for the long post but im just frustrated that we went through all that for nothing... hopefully we will find a new 1 like him some day

RIP: Butters
