I can't believe I forgot to post this! I went into the basement Sunday morning where my boysies and girlsies are kept and what do I find? The girls cage knocked over (Odds are my Lab Beau bumped the cage with his big arse). The cage is on the floor in two pieces, bedding everywhere and no ratties! Mojo and Harm went all walkabouts on me and I couldn't find them! I searched high and low, and in a moment of desperation I asked Oreo if he'd seen them. He just hung on the side of the cage watching the hilarity of it and jamming his nose between the bars. So after I had given up hope I went upstairs. Dad, feeling bad for me went downstairs. I hear him yelling that I'd better get down NOW. I go downstairs and the girls are curled up asleep inside Oreos Igloo.The cage was three feet below Oreos cage on the floor so they must have gotten out and scaled the side of the old cage I am using as a stand and squeezed between the bars and gotten in. Now I am worried something else horrible might happen....I do NOT want little bubs running around the place. I got both the girls in April, which would make them 5 months so I guess they would be fine with having babies, but I am very concerned about them, Harm is very tiny for 5 months and Mojo has been prone to inner ear infections. ARGH! What should I do besides take them to the vet? The vets here aren't that great so even that might not be a viable solution. I'm thinking give it a few weeks and see if the girls are with bubs..I don't think two litter of baby ratties will be good news, but what else can I do? I have brought Oreos cage upstairs to prevent further mishaps..HELP!!!
