Barely one week ago, on March 10th, our rat grandma Nara died. She was living together with her daughter Bibi in one cage, while the other four ratz inhabit the second one. Every attempt of merging the two packs failed, and so somewhere down the road we gave up.

This morning when I was feeding the rats I found Bibi, also lying in the cage as if she was sleeping. Only seven days after her mommy died, Bibi now went over the rainbow bridge, too. She was nearly two years old and till her last day she was quite fit and jumped around like a young rat. All her life she spend with her mom, and so she was propably too lonely in this world. So she followed her mother into the next world. Farewell, lil’ Bibi! I miss you, my sweet cuddleball!
