Tucker Sleeps

Tucker passed away today in his hammock.  He had ongoing respiratory issues that plagued him for some time.  He was abandoned by his original owner and the caretaker was unable to keep him too so he came here.  He was neutered due to behavioral issues and lived with little Ruby, that also had respiratory issues.  She passed a few days ago.

Tucker never was a happy boy.  He screamed every time you picked him up and he'd try to bite you even when you had already picked him up.  He is the first rat that I'd ever had that did that.   Poor little guy.

Rest in peace little grumpy dude.

Ruby Slips Away

I went to feed the kids this morning and Ruby had slipped away sometime during the night.  She was just under a year old and this death was unexpected.  She has an unknown family past as she was the one found tied in a plastic bag in a dumpster. >:<

She is survived by her cage mate Tucker.  As Tucker is neutered, he'll be moved in with the girl's cage.

Rest in peace little Ruby.
