Millie - Full Write-Up

Image
Millie is a rat we hold close to our heart. Sometimes, as an owner, you can do everything right, and it still isn't enough. Arrival: Millie's owner contacted us as they wanted an experienced owner for their soon-to-be lone rat. Her companion was battling chronic health issues and wasn't going to be around too much longer. We agreed to accommodate Millie whenever the time came. When the day arrived, Millie had recently developed a mammary tumour (we suspected a fibroadenoma), and we mutually agreed to have it surgically removed. Millie was a friendly 1.6-year-old - 2-year-old rat.

As a result, he was then housed outside the front of their house (despite living in an indoor-cage) until someone collected him. Fortunately, that someone was us. After we arrived home, we thoroughly checked Wilfred over. We estimated him to be approximately 4-6 months old and, apart from some matted fur, he was in good health  Wilfy is a grumpy boar with a huge personality - with bundles of cheekiness, too. Wolfgang: Tiny Paws MCR appealed to try

Shmi - Full Write-up

Shmi was very popular amongst some of our followers. She had a larger than life personality, and there are many names we can think of to describe her that wouldn't be appropriate for this blog-setting. Despite her troublesome nature, we loved her a lot.

In our opinion, tailless rats  shouldn't   be  deliberately produced. Due to their deformities, tailless rats usually require adapted-housing. Padme was much older than Leia. We knew Leia would need companionship in the future when her mother passed away. We searched for does in need of a home.  We stumbled ac
