Have an e-hug, if it helps.

Poor little bugger.

Photo-spam time:

Esk - so young

Carrot - taken too soon too suddenly

Ridcully - a photo tart

Stibbons - timid and shy

Together - Stibbons is the older by a few weeks and is Esks brother

And those two now live with:
Vimes

and Errol

Really sorry to hear about the recent losses

The new kids look great though

Knipples · 17-05-2009, 15:54

Tak · 17-05-2009, 16:07

We picked out 2 new friends for Nobby today from Jo (Coastboat rattery)

Feeling much happier as I hate seeing him all alone - he isn't a loner rat like some. They aren't "ready" (i.e. 6 weeks old) until 5th June but that works out well as Mic is off that weekend - I'm going to suggest we pick them up Friday night then we have the weekend for them to settle and us go for intros

One is a PEW (Pink eyed white - the type most people are "scared" of) and he is going to be called Dorfl, the other is a black eyed black (with white toes) and he is Havelock

Jayne (Warren's Ark rattery) managed to mate Hawkeye and we are due to have one of his babies too (he is a multi show winning, nearly record breaking rattie who just hadn't got the hang of shagging - he kept cuddling, so we thought he'd never sire a litter). Those babies are ready 3 weeks after Jo's. I had said I wanted Hawkeye babies before Jayne even decided to use him in her mating program

Hopefully the little guy from that litter will go in with Vimes, Errol, Stibbons and Ridcully but if there are problems, because of the close ages then we should be able to put him in with Nobby and the 2 from Jo

Nobby was pts this afternoon. The intros with the new guys Dorfl and Havelock had gone well but it just wasn't to be. It was either a tumor or his kidney had swollen to the point it had moved down his body. He was sleepy, only taking water from a syringe, not eating. The vet said they could scan and see which it was but as he was, he wouldn't have survived an operation.
I managed to get an explorer cage on ebay, current plan is to try introing Dorfl and Havelock with Vimes, Errol, Stibbons and Ridcully and put them all in the explorer (explorer can take 16ish rats so they should have plenty of space)

Edit - sorry if this post seems a bit...nothing - I'm numb and in shock still

Mark · 14-06-2009, 16:03

Post away.

Sorry to hear that. Sounds like it's been something of a mixed bag recently what with losing several of the old favourites but getting quite a few new ratties in too. I don't really know what to say except that I hope the intros go well.

RIP Nobby.
