How someone cannot enjoy rats at all is beyond me. They're awesome.![]()
I do hope your remaining rats pass peacefully. The one rat I had for his whole life (i.e., before I started breeding) got very sick for about a month before he died. Holding the big stud I have, who's probably no younger than 6 months but no older than 12 months, the one I had had to have lost half of his weight from being so sick, and he just looked like a dog; miserable and such.
That alone would have been hard, and because he died as well, especially since I never really had any close friends, I sort of closed up to the world. No one quite understands the loss of a rat compared to any thing else.
