Two of my three boys died, being the most recent one from the same litter than the last baby. They were pretty close to each other and I feel like Fergunson misses him so much, and he’s clearly sad.
He’s about two years old, and it’s still a healthy old boo. I love him so much, but I want to break the rat cycle. At the same time, I feel bad for leaving him by himself, since all he does now it’s eat and hang by the hammock. He doesn’t even wants to go outside and walk around the apartment anymore.
Does anybody already have to deal with a similar situation? Should I give him away to someone with other rats? Should I keep him close, and try to give him more attention than usual?
I feel like it would hurt me deeply to give him away, and I honestly don’t know if i’d be able to. However, I can’t help but thinking that I’m being a terrible person for leaving him alone.
Opinions?
— Unfortunately, getting a new rat even a senior is not an option that I’d love to go through. I’ve lost two rats this year, and decided that I’m not emotionally able to keep pets with such a short lifespan. —
Thank you.
