I just saw a comment about last few hours? Did she die? Am I missing a link? Franklin has been with us for two weeks now and has no interest in dying, he’d rather bang around all night building toilet paper castles and gnawing on things and being almost all rat (just without the hind leg action).

Thank you SOOOOOO much for this post! So much.

I just recently wound up with an equally injured young rat, and my feelings are the same. It is plain he isn’t going to get well, everyone thinks I am insane, and there is no WAY I will extinguish the light in his eyes. So long as he wants to live, I will care for him and give him grapes and orange slices. I have been looking desperately for like-minded people that don’t immediately want to kill him and have me put away for my own good. I wish I could send you a photo of Franklin, he looks just like your girl!

I’m so glad your MIL let her empathy for the suffering of others overcome her dislike of anything rattie. The poor little girl looks to forlorn. I am so happy she was able to know safety and love in her last few hours. To have died alone, scared and helpless would have been a very horrid death indeed. Thanks for all.

I’m absolutely crazy about rats. I grew up on a game farm in the then Northern Rhodesia (now Zambia) as a child and had every wild pet imaginable. I rather played with my Duiker or Dik-dik (the smallest antelope in Africa) then with my dolls.

But nowadays I keep pet rats. They simple are the most underrated pet ever. The are adorable, clever, a lot of wonderful traits rolled into one amazing personality. Likewise, I would never kill a wild rat.

Thanks for rescuing the wild rat - you are an angel!

I just received a letter from a lawyer advising me that I am going to be named as a party in a lawsuit. What should I do ?

I did write it myself, posted it on several of my blogs though. (I have about 7 blogs)

WOW! What a story! I hope she hangs in there and is able to return to the wild.
