Darwin is the latest elder rat (he's approximately 1.5-2 years old) to join the Rattie Crew! Darwin was seized by the animal control officer for neglect. Darwin and his brother were found in filthy conditions (their hamster cage was so dirty it had to be tossed), severely malnourished, dehydrated, and were covered with mites (they actually had fur missing). Sadly, Darwin's brother has since passed away. Poor little fellow. Darwin is congested and has little appetite but is quite curious. His fur has almost all grown back. He is on medication and is currently being spoiled rotten. Once he feels better and gains some more weight I'll have him join the other elder boys.

Love that your spoiling him!
Very good that Darwin is now enjoying a good life with you!
How sad that animals sometimes still have to live in such horrible conditions he was found in :(
Please give Darwin (and the other rats too) a big hug!
He is very lucky to have found such a good place to stay!

What a sweet little guy!! He reminds me of Oliver. :) Congrats on your new addition!
Welcome home, Darwin! I hope you're feeling better soon. You have lots to enjoy and a faithful caregiver to lavish you with yogies and affection.
