One died and the other ate its face!! Why don't you get a cloth or a tissue or something and throw it over the rat so you can't see it, then scoop it all up and dispose of it? Be brave Claire! Or wait til Dan gets home! That happened to our hamsters!!! One died and the other ate its face!!

Suz: I thought I remembered something similar happening to someone! In the end Matt P picked up the remains and helped clean out the cage thoroughly for Luigi to be put back in. He's a star. Especially because he made me tea. Paul: yes, Jon: he was getting old, I don’t think they have a cure for that yet.

In any case, it's a little late to be having this conversation, isn't it? It could have been any number of things, maybe I could have done something about it, but it's all too late now anyway, so how about some condolences instead of criticising my animal care?

Because, you know, cool. Seriously thought, I'm sorry- I know you loved the little plague bearers.

It's a shame. Jimmy: Heh, no, for some reason I didn't take any photos, sorry. The image is quite indelibly marked on my mind, so I didn't think I'd need any! I was a little bit scared of Mario turning into a zombie rat or something -- with half his face missing I was just thinking "stay dead, stay dead"... I've probably watched too many horror movies. Aww, your puppies are still so cute! I'll keep watching for more of their antics as they grow up. Selina: Thanks, yeah, I didn’t realise how attached I was to them until this happened, really.
