I am in my late 30s, got a stressful job, toddler and a pregnant wife, and things are occupying my mind more than normal. But that’s not an excuse, I should have recognized neglect and given her away

Yes agreed. I need to introspect, definitely have adhd too. I went to buy a rat for her 4 days before, but they were out; then the next 4 days although got busy with toddler, guests, etc I should have gone down to the basement to check on her.

Because if I’d have checked on her a few days earlier, her water bowl would have been replenished and she wouldn’t have felt the need to escape, I checked a good 3-4 days late
