(I'm new to the forum so sorry if I do something wrong but I need help asap)
One of my rattie boys became depressed after his cagemate died. He was his best friend, that rat raised him up since he was 5weeks old. + now he has bumblefoot and 2 days ago he had a really painful trip to the vet ( He got an injection into his foot, he nearly fainted away a few times) since then, he's like a zombie. He doesn't clean himself, and he doesn't even stand on his 4 legs. Just laying in the cage like a toy. If I pick him up he doesn't care he's just sleeping all day or laying with his eyes opened. He has an other cagemate, but he's not a very good friend of him. They are ok with each other, the little one loves to clean him and sleep with him but he just doesn't care.. It's really sad and I don't know what to do about it. 3 days ago I had 3 rats, now I have one and a half..
