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.

So sorry about this, especially on new years day! He's lazing about in the big hammock upstairs now.

I hope the others don't get all weird now he's gone

*hugs*
