Lister finally left us this morning, not the best of birthday presents, but you can't have it all your own way.

Decided a little while back that we wouldn't get any more ratties for a little while, so I have a cage and all the trimmings to go if anyone is interested?

Not asking anything for it, but I do want to make sure it goes to someone that will use it and not just try to make a quick quid or two.

Though if you take it and would like to make a donation to http://www.rainforest2reef.org/ that would be great ;)

Aww, sorry DaFoot, RIP Lister :(

At least he was at home and with the people he loved, it's a nice way to leave. I hope you find a nice new owner for their cage soon.

Was quite remarkable how quickly Lister started deteriorating from fit and healthy to old and frail once his 2 buddies had gone...sad to see.

I've had quite a few people contact me about the cage...

For those that have asked, I think the cage is the one at the top of this page:

Price looks about right.

I was surprised just how short a life expectancy rodents have compared with other critters like guinea pigs and rabbits. You get so attached and suddenly they're gone. I've already decided when Pooh our old cockatiel goes we won't get another - mind you, he's still clinging on to life despite having a steady stream of felines hovering over his cage and hassling him.

Aw DaFoot, I'm really sorry to hear about Lister. He'll be scurrying around Rainbow Bridge with his buddies waiting for you:D

Keep smiling:)
