Starting a family

At about 1:05pm today Merlin was put to sleep.

I had gone in and found him unable to use his front arms and having problems breathing. Just stroking the side of him made him squeak lots. From what I have heard from other rat owners, it looks as though he had a stroke.

Going to have to completely clean out the cage and change all the hammocks and everything as the smell of him being there will only confuse Dibbler and Greebo.
