RIP Minnie & other updates

Unfortunately, Minnie has left us for better places. We are clueless why she passed but are presuming it may be something genetic. We weigh our rats weekly and with her most recent weigh-in noticed a loss of some weight rather than the moderate growth we expected. That morning she was fine, energetic and no other symptoms we could detect. That evening, however, she was bad enough to need fluids along with antibiotics. Fluids and more meds the following morning, but by the evening she was gone. Rest well, girl!

We had Charlie neutered a few days ago. He came back to us after the original adopted found out he was being relocated. Since he came to us as a solo rat we looked to introduce him in with some of our existing boys. Unfortunately, Charlie's testosterone was raging. A few days later, now, and he is beginning to work through introductions with Crockett, Tubbs, and Ray. He will be up for adoption again once he heals up, but of course his adoption fee will be increased by the cost of his neuter. No problem if he stays with us, he's one of our favorites!

Additionally, Leia and one of our other recent rescues had surgery to remove mammary tumors. If you'd care to donate to help defer some of the cost, it would be much appreciated!
