Poor little boy. He had a happy life though and went in a happy peaceful way.

Oh no, two little peeps gone in such quick sucession

Sorry Tak.

Can't believe I'm posting this - I came home from work a little while ago and found Carrot had died in the cage. Mic said he was fine a few hours ago when he looked in on them. There was a lot of bloody urine on the shelf and soaked into the paper and on his fur around his penis. A friend, Nicole, had some boys from the same litter and has also had problems with/lost a rattie to basically peeing blood.
Not sure if its a virus (but then how did Carrot pick it up?) or genetic (but not related rats at Nicoles are showing symptoms).

Going to be watching Nobby, who is now alone, and all the others just in case.

I feel numb.

Hugs, dear.
Everytime you post in this thread my heart breaks a little bit for you and your ratties.
