RIP Nutmeg :-(

Nutmeg was no better this morning[0], so we took her to the vet again, and had her put to sleep - there was nothing else the vet could do, and she was clearly in distress. :-(

She was a lovely rat - twitchy as hell most of the time, not fond of sitting still for scritches, but inquisitive and friendly on her own terms. She took a lot longer than her sister Bramble to settle down and stop being nervous of us (we got both Nutmeg and Bramble from a rescue centre - they were about 10 weeks old at the time, and had been born in the centre, but not really socialised as there were about 60 baby rats born over a period of a couple of days after a bunch of pregnant adult rats got dumped on the doorstep), but she did in the end. She was beautiful - agouti, with lovely soft shiny fur. She was around 1 year 8 months when she died.

RIP Nutmeg.
