Update: my fiancee broke down in tears. She has fallen in love. Nonetheless, the MIL says no so she is being given to a close friend who already has one rat. We will be sharing custody looks like she got lucky!

As for f/t, he is 6 years old so I'm not sure how much I can do to get him to eat it. We HAVE tried to no avail. Bad enough he only wants food in his cage. I now have a bottle, food, and aspen set aside just in case we have this problem again...
