Loving rats since 2002.
On June 26th 2004, I picked up the sweetest looking Siamese girl, she was almost 3 months old at the time and comes from Zen Rattery. Vanessa did part of the transport, bringing her from TO to Barrie for me.
She was a darling, a spunky, mischievous happy little girl. At about 6 months old, Bijou started to get a wee bit aggressive. She was bity and being mean to her cage mates. She was spayed at 8 months old, and became a complete doll. Bijou became my most docile, easy going and most accepting rat. She would just go with the flow, new cage, that was fine, new rats, even better. I knew I could always count on her to make things go smooth in the cage.
She was never sick a day in her life until she reached 30 months old. I then put her on meds, long term just to give her that extra help. At 33 months, she met the love of her life, Mister. He had been a lone rat all of his life but when he met Bijou, it was an instant hit. Those two were inseparable. Bijou's back legs were not as good as they were so she was having a hard time keeping herself clean but that was ok because Mister was always grooming her. When Mister died Aug 8th, Bijou became extremely lonely. She tried to find cuddles with the other two in the cage but they just weren't her Mister. Today, she's left me to go find him.
The couple have reunited and will forever be together as they were always meant to be.
Bijou, you were my princess, everybody gushed over that pretty siamese, you were the sweetest, most gentle girl and brought love to an old manrat.
I will miss you my lady.
