Sadly we lost Luke a short while ago. He had pnemonia (sp?). My vet tried various meds and he hung on for over a month but one day lost his battle. He was determined and he really surprised my vet. His last month though was a wonderful one. He got spoiled rotten and got the best of everything. He was even being fed gouda and other expensive cheese.

My other rat is doing fantastic. I thought he would get depressed or be sadden but he is actually enjoying the extra attention. Now he is the spoiled one and is loving the extra time and attention.

I love rodents. I always have. I have had pets in cages since I was a child and I never had a preference. I do now. It will always be a rat. I am amazed at their intelligence. They are not even comparable to other rodents...they are unique. They are like having tiny dogs with above average iq's.
