For those of you following Slug's progress with his Zymbal's gland tumour I'd realised I haven't made an update about him.  I had to have him euthanised on Sunday, the tumour had ruptured and he was scratching and in discomfort.  He had a last run round my room, and an explore of his favourite bookshelf in the sitting room.  It was quiet at the vets and the nurse said he passed away quickly.  

I'm finding it hard adjusting to having only three rats.  And I am finding it hard that my boy really is gone. His brother is missing him too.  I'm hoping he won't grieve for him.

I miss you Slug
