This beautiful, amazing, soft, lovely, special, sweetheart just turned 3 years old a few minutes ago. Science came to me with Bubblegum and Candy about 2 years ago.

It has been an honor to foster her. She doesn't have a lot of time left, a large tumor and age are catching up to her. She's also pretty much blind, though she adapted really well to that.

I struggled to find a way to spoil her more than usual, and the mixture of birthday treat and her usual senior mush did the trick. There's her usual mush with lab blocks dissolved in oat milk with some critical care mixed in. There's Cheerios, chocolate drizzle, mint leaf, kale, strawberry, and a rice puff. I thin sliced the fruit and leaves, mostly so that it would mix and present well but she seemed to appreciate the way that made them easy to munch with less handling.

Science enjoyed a large portion of it, and then the other four foster rats got to demolish the remainder in seconds.

Little Noot, Billith Bly, Wishing Star and Mama Moony.

Before bed a couple of nights ago.

Mama moony is getting very old and I am having to think about end of life choices and care.. I think she might need help passing and that is such a hard choice to make.

Mostly I wasn’t posting this to discuss that though and just wanted to show them to you all once again being adorable and fun in the ratty robe .

Do you have any tips on how to care for an older rat? (2+ years)

Hello!

- Plenty of protein, as hind leg degeneration is common.

- If they start to struggle to get around the cage, make sure you have lots of big hammocks as fall breakers, and plenty of water access points (and at least one near the ground).

- Daily health check

- Lots of love!

I’m sure there is more as well, hopefully other ratblrs can help!
