Tonight I had to work so when I left the house at 6:30PM everything was fine with my boys; I even gave them a dish of peas before I left which they all excitedly ran to. When I returned at 11PM I couldn't believe my eyes when I went into the rat room! There was blood splattered around the cage and I found my boy Cohen dead! He had blood all around his mouth and nose! I'm beyond shock! Of all the years I've had pet rats I've never experienced this before. I have never seen so much blood splattered and so much blood around a rat's mouth and nose before. What could have happened?! What symptoms did I miss? I just don't understand! The boys were so closely bonded so I can't imagine a fight broke out. Any little sign of illness I'm off to the vet, and Cohen was just fine when I left for work. So what could have happened?
Also, my other boys are so stressed at the moment and I've been trying to comfort them but I can't understand what happened to Cohen. Does anyone have any idea?
I still can't believe it...
