A walking study in demonology

Fun and games, yes?

So, it turns out that is wasen't Gaz fighing with Faye and Julia... and the way we found out was none to fun.
Andrew and I went to a party last night. We got home at about 1:30 am. When we walked in the door, we saw Andrew's sister, Beth, holding Gaz. Turns out she was brining her up so that she could clean blood off of her tail! Now, keep in mind that Gaz was in a cage all by herself cus our newest rattie, Lilly, is still in quarenteen. Turns out that Beth heard sqeeking coming from our room, and it was pretty loud, so she came in to check on the noise. When she came in she saw a MOUSE running away from Gaz's cage. The mouse was either in the cage with Gaz, or fighting with her outside of the cage bars... see, our house is right on the corner of an alley, so we really have to fight to keep vermin like mice and roaches out, it's sucks!
That's when it clicked that it wasen't Gaz tearing up Faye and Julia's tails, it was MICE! Wow, I hope rat's can understand apologies, cus Andrew and I were saying "sorry" to her all night! I still feel bad for having blamed her for beating up her cagemates!
So, we got Gaz's tail all cleaned out, and moved her cage to a safer location for the night. Today we moved her back in with Faye and Julia, and we put glue traps on either side of the cage. When Lilly's done with her quarenteen, we're going to move her in with the other three girlies.

Poor baby girl. I hope she feels better soon (and you, too).
