RIP Magrat
It's so gut-wrenching when one has to say goodbye to a pet, take care both.

Thanks all - she is now buried under a heather plant in the garden - a couple of the lavender plants started dying, don't know if iuts because they are in pots or what but heathers are just as pretty and (*touch wood*) seem to be doing ok in pots (Reg and Vimes got heathers while Cmot, Carrot and Nobby have lavenders)
Since the explorer went from 7 occupants down to 5, there have been some territorial issues (aka hormonal rats beating one another up with Dorfl the Puddle taking the brunt). To combat this last night we split the explorer in half - they still have excess room but not so much they feel the need to defend it. I am hoping a week or two like this will remind them that they can and have lived together without punch-ups and then we can let them have the full cage back. If this doesn't work the options are they stay in half a cage (which I really don't want as its a waste of cage and because they love running through the different levels and climbing etc) or get a couple of babies to take the number back up to 7. This is one of those "wait and see" things. As Esme is currently on her own, Mic had a choice to make - Spidermouse/Coastboat Rattery had said she was willing to take Esme and try her in with her own old girls, the other option was getting some baby girls to live with Esme. Jayne/Warren's Ark Rattery has a litter at the moment with a couple of unbooked girls ... well ... they were unbooked ... Mic is currently thinking up Discworld themed names (I name the boys, he names the girls) and then on 21st November we will be getting two punchbags ... I mean friends for Esme. |

Sitting in a carrier on the sofa are Agnes and Tiffany I'm slurping a hot chocolate and then we're going to be cleaning out Esme so anyone feel free to cross fingers that the intros go smoothly
