R.I.P Chestnut

Today I came home and I saw Chestnut in the cage not acting herself. I picked her up to see blood on her nose. I whipped it off and put her in the cage. I checked up on her to see if she was okay but she was nodding off while standing up and limping around. She ended up passing away in the corner of the cage. I was so sad I cried. I ended up barring her in my back yard. Before I put her in the ground, I noticed her body was already hard after only being dead for 10 minutes. She was, let me say, a biotch, but I was still sad to see her go.

Pose for the camera

Okay, I know I said in my last post that I would take some pictures of Chestnut to show you blogger enthusiasts.

 So here are some pictures of Muffin and Chestnut together in the cage. I ended up favoring more pictures towards Muffin because I just love her so much.





This is one of my favorite. Her face is all up in the camera but her butt is perfectly displayed. 








Muffin is all like, whats that? Whats that?















Muffin is just SOOOO cute.









I love how this picture has Muffins eyes at the top and Chestnuts eyes at the bottom. There both out of focus but the bedding is perfect.

Muffin and Popcorn

While Muffin was being rambunctious today, my dad came into my room with a bag of popcorn. The question of, "I wonder if she will like some popcorn." came into the conversation. So naturally I stated, "Let's find out." I lead Muffin out of her tubing and let her smell the buttery treat. She used her teeth and snatched it right out of my fingers. Then she proceeded to the corner of the cage. Let me paint a picture of how she looked. Muffin, looking like something a dog would do, she walked with her head up and her feet on her tippy toes, and with the popcorn still in her mouth to her favorite eating spot. It's just so darn adorable. Then my father gave Muffin some more popcorn to nibble on. It only took her eight minutes to eat all of it. I think she likes popcorn, do you?

Tip : Make sure to give your rat small doses of fatty treats and to maintain a healthy diet.
