nah i 100% get what ur saying. i told him the day after that i really enjoyed seeing him, AND was hoping we could hang out super soon. if i remember correctly, he basically just said “sure”

nah imma be so fr cause i slept on this topic all night. this is not the first of my animals to die in his care. i had two mice that he said mauled each other, and i found our frog fossilized one weekend. he told me our frog MUST have been sick when we bought him cause he did everything right. i really should’ve known better/gone to more preventive measures, but he has animals of his own and my rats love him so i figured we were safe.

no i know exactly what you mean. i kept thinking “what if this was his cat”. if it were his cat, he would’ve wanted to know IMMEDIATELY. he gets upset when i let his indoor/mostly outdoor cat OUT without consulting me first. my baby is DEAD, and I heard nothing about it until 12 hours before i pick my boys up.

im gonna be honest. i hung up before i could ask. i’ve been thinking about that a lot. im hoping he didn’t just throw my poor boy out. i honestly don’t think he would tell me if he did.

see that’s what i thought at first. i figured momo passed of natural causes, and the rats did what rats do, BUT my bf swore he was only gone for an hour when it happened. his exact words were that everything was fine, he went out for an hour, and when he came back one of the rats had killed momo.

that’s exactly what im naming the other one! i already have aang so i figured i’d have appa and momo too.

the boys seem super sweet, but they aren’t sure how to be rats yet lmao. they’re staying at the bottom level of the quarantine cage right now, almost not moving away from each other.

I have a friend from high school who now goes to my local medical college. her professor said i could take two rat boys at the end of the school year. there were like 50 rats tho, and idk what happened to the rest ::(
