Loss of a pet rat?

Question

does any one now any sites that are ment for people who recently lost a pet rat? My favorite rat just passed away a few weeks ago and im devastated. I know a lot of pet loss support pages, but i was wondering if there was anything specifically for pet rats? Just wondering.

Answer 1

Weird most people consider them rodents.

There are some pet rat forums not exactly for those who just lost but it might be close enough

Pet loss support pages are all really good they don't have to be specifically for rats.

Answer 2

We had a pet rat named Speedy Gonzalez for three years.   Well, he got a large tumor on his neck and we finally had to take him in.   It cost us $52 to have him put down.   My two daughters and I cried and cried.   They gave him back to us in a shoebox we had brought.

My daughters put a soft baby blanket inside, love notes and much more.  They decorated the entire outside of the shoebox with hearts, words of love, and glued jewels all over it.  

When the coffin was ready we had a funeral outside and buried the box, putting a cross at the top, which also got fully decorated.

Our Speedy was very special to us, and the last of many pet rats that we loved.   You are not alone.   They are wonderful pets.

Answer 5

I'm sorry to know that you lost your pet rat.

I'm afraid that you may have difficulty in finding it again, because all rats are almost the same.

Did you tie anything on its neck?
