Burrell escaped from the play area yesterday, tried to get Ralphie through his cage, and bit me after I picked him up. It was deliberate. My hand is very swollen .. can't move my fingers .... went to emergency last night - they said it was swollen because of internal bleeding and that it would be several days before it goes down. Oh well, so much for packing, cleaning, etc. I am keeping my hand elevated ...
Guess who is going to be getting neutered?
It was my fault for picking him up when he was feeling so agressive but most of my rats would never even think of biting ... I have reached in and pulled apart two ratties that were rolling around in a ball trying to "kill" one another before and not been bitten. Anyway, I think we will all feel much better once Burrell isn't being rulled by his hormones ....
Had an almost sucessful integration - Leagh's 4 boys plus the group of seven lived together for several days but Burrell kept challenging David and David spent his time fearfully hiding in a corner from Burrell. Will try again in a few weeks after Burrell is neutered.
