How are rats supposed to act when their cage buddy died? My rat, Freddy, doesn't seem to care very much. I guess this isn't very important, just a curiosity. I heard rats grieve the loss of their friends so I'm just a little confused..
 
If his cagemate was sick before he died then he probably knew long before you did. If hes a confident rat he might not show the grieving like you expect.

She was sick, but the symptoms came about too late for me to be able to do anything about it. Freddy is a very confident rat, so maybe this is the case. Thank you.
