Lost Ashley rat tonight.We lost Ashely, our 2 1/2 year old rat tonight. She was diagnosed with a pituitary tumour over a week ago and we tried her on some new treatment, which had amazing affects. From being tired and almost cripple she jumped onto her igloo and ran to the front of her cage for her treat. However last night she fell off one of the ledges we think, due to a sudden deterioration, she continued to go downhill today ( although still eating). However, this evening she was totally flat so we rushed her into the vets and sadly had her PTS. We are no left with just Polly, poor girl will be on her own tonight.

Sorry to hear that farthing. Is 2 1/2 a good age for a rat? |

yes, they live for 2-3 years. They are such lovely creature, but have such short lifespan, they are so endearing and so gentle. |

Yes, my friends daughter has a few and they are so clever. Poor Polly being on her own. They are sociable wee things, it will be strange for her. |

it is awful to lose any pet, some people think beacause it is a rat it makes it easier, but it certainley isnt. i bet some kittens would cheer her, and you up! when i was much younger and before i knew better(i was told you couldnt intro new rats) i would just be left with one rat left by itself, when i think back its horrible, but some babies will brighten her up. |
