Glad she recovered! It really shows that you have the patience and commitment required for owning these animals. I breed rats and it irritates me when people get them and then decide to move somewhere that doesn't allow pets and so easily give them up, or they want to throw in the towel at the first problem they encounter as if they are a pair of shoes to just return for money back or to throw them away. I highly recommend anyone who wants rats get Care Credit and/or pet insurance. It really helps defray the costs. Your rats may not all be this costly but be prepared that it *could* happen.

I feel the same way. I've met a few people IRL who have demanding pets and it's really heartbreaking to hear how nonchalant they are. It's difficult for me to remain patient and remember it's not my place to tell them what's right 😅😅 But I really appreciate your comment. I always try my best. And yes! Nationwide does pet insurance for exotics and I use them for the rats

I'm really glad Sokura was able to get her tumor removed. She is such a strong rat. My rat Muffin use to have a tumor in the same area but I choose to not remove it. The vet near me was not as experienced in rat surgery's so it could have been risky. Sadly Muffin did need to be put down eventually due to the size of the tumor. It makes me really happy to see a rat that seucsefully made it through a removal surgery and is now living a happy life. Best of luck to Sokura and I hope she can keep living a happy life tumor free. 💕

I am so sorry to hear about Muffin. It's always a bit scary needing to rely on a vet that might not know how to do what we need. But I'm really glad that you got to give her the best life. Sending love out there for Muffin💜 And yeah Sakura is definitely a fighter. I'm thankful everyday she made it. Also side note but I like your new pfp!

It's not always all rosy, there are difficult moments, devastating moments. But there are many more beautiful moments that they spend at your side and all the love they give you, I'm glad that Sakura came out of all this well, she is a very strong girl, I send her a lot of love. I am going through difficult moments for the first time, I lost my heart rat July this June 11, he lived 2 years and 4 months, I gave him all the love I could and all the care he deserved and more, I love you July always you will live in my heart, I love you very much my sunshine July

July had actually a long life, because pet rats' lifespan is short in years, but they give very much for us during their life, they live intensively. They are intelligent, caring and they express love for us 🐀💝 She had good caring loving home with you like Sakura has a very caring home too 💖

My male rat Apollo had some sort of growth on his toe, it was never fully determined if it was a tumor or not but long story short after visiting the vet for the second time my boy...well he chewed off the growth 😮 I made sure to keep an eye on it and told my vet what happened, he ended up healing up perfectly fine! I swear some days I cant even remember which foot and toe it was 😅 now his nickname is Dr Appy and he is a certified rat surgeon! (He saved me so much money the sweet boy, he knew how much I was stressing it)

She is so cute! She looks like my female rat Ophelia.
