Since Mirabelle died, we had to get a new rat to be Charlee's friend, or else Charlee could kill herself because of depression.
None of the pet stores sell female rats, so it took a lot of trouble to get a friend for Charlee.
We ended up having to get two rats that were abandoned at the Humane Society because those were the only rats left.
Thelma came with a sickness that was very similar to Mirabelle's, but the people at the Humane Society thought that it might be treatable. We tried giving her the nose drops that they suggested, but she just kept getting worse.
The other sad part is that on Saturday she fell from the top of the cage and twisted her foot, but I have no clue if that had anything to do with her feeling bad or not.
On Monday night though, she died because of her respiratory disease.
By the way, the other rat's name is Louise. We had to get both rats because Thelma and Louise were very close and thought to be sisters.
