Beau bit me! Pretty hard - he definitely meant it. I was cleaning the boys out Monday afternoon and was halfway through putting the bedding back in the cage when beau jumped in, so I put my hand in take him out and he turned round and bit me. It bled a lot, so I wrapped [...]

First share a quick cuppa (this is Luke licking out my mug):
Then have a snooze in those lovely things called sleeves (This is definitely Charlie and I think Rupert):

As promised - the pic of the mess the girls made with the wound powder:
And no, it doesn’t help that i’m such a scruff bag and leave stuff lying around. That small area of desk is a bit tider now as I had to move stuff to clean up!

No, the girls haven’t suddenly got style conscious, they’re just being their usual destructive selves.
I have (had) a little tub of antiseptic wound powder on my desk in the rat room. It’s very good stuff that you can just dab a little of on a wound and it helps dry up the wound and aids [...]

Sugar has gone down to 452g. Hooray. They have had nearly all their fresh food cut out completely, apart from a bit of veg a couple of times a week. None of them are looking worse for it, I think it’s because the weather’s warmer, they don’t need to use up energy keeping warm, so [...]

I had to have Burmickity put to sleep on Monday. She went downhill very quickly on Sunday and could no longer lift herself up to get in the food bowl and she was even struggling with eating soft food.

I’ve been back since Tuesday actually, but have been busy doing not a lot! The rats all managed without me (of course) though i like to think they were pleased to see me on my return. My OH coped perfectly well and I think quite enjoyed looking after them.
Burmickity is unfortunately still not right, though [...]

My poor baby girl is not herself. She is just sitting by the cage door at play time and not coming out and then if she does come out she just trundles round slowly rather than rampaging all over the place like she does usually. She is also a bit fluffed up. The most worrying [...]

….and i’m a mismarked agouti hooded male fancy rat. My favourite thing is coming out to play. I’m always the first to the cage door when them other lazy boys can’t be bothered to move and I love to climb about on our side of the rat room, especially getting up on Mum’s desk and [...]
