This is a picture of my last rat, that died today. It had a tumour growing on it’s right leg for a few weeks now. In order to avoid having it suffer any longer, my mum and I killed it by suffocation and it’s now burried in the garden. I’m posting this page to “immortalise” it. This last rat outlived its fellow sisters by many months, and I wonder if it’s brother’s, sold to other owners, are still alive now.
This rat was greedy and not very friendly. She often bullied the other rats and did not like to play with me. She was always very fat, and only during her last few weeks, did she slim down. She has tasted all sorts of things including chocolate, sago worms, fruits, biscuits and rice. With her death, so ends another chapter in my life. I won’t have to take care of her any longer. No need to feed her everyday, no need to clean her cage. In a way, it’s a relief… but overall, it was nice to have these pet rats.
R.I.P little rat.
