The folks at allexperts.com are pretty awesome. I got an answer to my question within hours of asking it. It helps to know what might have happened, and to feel more certain that there was little or nothing I could have done. At least I don't feel crippled with guilt anymore.
Cleaning out the cage is going to be so hard. I'm going to be putting it away for awhile. I don't want to get more pet rats until I have my own place again. At the same time, I want new pets right this instant, I miss hearing the scurry of little feet so much.
Everything reminds me of them. Ice cream, my pillow, the scratches on my neck from Leo's sharp little claws when he was climbing all over me yesterday. This is grief, I suppose. It sucks hardcore.
I don't want to put the cage away.
