I'm going to warn you (especially to AlwaysLove, and cherrylips.) this thread is very graphic and upsetting, but i need to know what may have happened... I'll put the more graphic statements in a spoiler, so if you don't want to read it you don't have to...
Joey opened the cage to find four babies still alive, and five of them killed [spoiler:3aeqel1m]all he found in the cage was balls of fur and bones[/spoiler:3aeqel1m] they had been fine their whole lives, and Molly had taken care of them.
This was so unexpected... i recieved the phone call at 4 a.m. this morning with Joey freaking out and telling me what happened.
Molly has been seperated from the babies as of this morning to avoid anymore tragedies. She was supposed to be going to a home with AlwaysLove (who's two girls survived) but she won't be living with any of the babies anymore. She is going to the vet on Monday to get their opinions of what happened and if she is suitable to live with other rats, but we don't know what will happen with her and her situation.
I need to know... this can't be normal. To raise them since birth and suddenly turn around and murder them.
Edit: Molly was fed, there was plently of food and water in her cage, and she has shown no signs of agression towards them.
