Found something new and yummy for them which they all loved but looked very funny afterwards - cod liver oil capsules

Great for them all and so amusing for me, especially the slurping noises after they broke into them and were trying to get their tongues in and then the trying to wash face with oily hands

Video evidence is required! small animals being cute/silly is the best form of entertainment

Things are not good - Merlin seems to have lost majority of movement in his right hind leg and the left one isn't a huge amount better. I am going to be changing the substrate from chopped cardbaord to carpet samples so that he doesn't have to drag his feet thru the board - it may also be warmer for him. He is being force fed Senior Aid and cod liver oil by the gallon (note to self - need to buy more Senior Aid).
Next step if there is no improvement is an anti inflammatory/steroid injection - problem is steroids reduce the immune system and he has never had a particularly healthy chest in the first place.

Just seems to be one thing after another for him - poor sod

Noooo

Poor Merlin

Poor you!

I hope he's not in pain.

He doesn't seem to be - he still tries to pootle around as much as he can and I can move his legs without him squeaking at me. Merlin is my biter - I fully expect to lose fingertips when he is very unwell or in pain.

So sorry Sam.

Hope the new rat furniture helps Merlin.
