I long for the day that rat cages can clean themselves..just press a button and tada!!!!! cage is immaculate. I tend to overdo it most days, I spot clean several times a day and change all the bedding at least twice a week. The boys actually seem to appreciate my efforts, you should see the way they trash it after *rolls eyes* Typical boys just being boys I suppose.

We are finding a routine again, things seem to have gotten back to a semi normal state.

We are watching Vroobert, his tumor and the belly abcess closely. Other than soaking, cleaning it and making sure he gets abs twice a day, not much else I can do. I can only hope it heals completely and without complications. The tumor on the otherhand is getting massive =( His heart condition doesnt allow for surgical removal. There will come a point that I may have to take his chances and mine and go ahead with a removal attempt. I cannot imagine dragging that thing around and just waiting for it to kill me, split open or some other mess. Its all about his quality of life and how he seems to act each day. Still a happy boy, delightful and licky.

Waiting and watching just doesnt wear well with me all of the time. I am forced to do just that now.
