So, I am not quite sure when I last posted, so here are the updates on my fuzz-butts of love!

You all should know how Kira and Fritz have had odd sores, and that they have gone through alot of meds. Well. I think I know what is causing my poor ratties' suffering. And bugs are to blame, I'm guessing they are fleas.

I am giving them a special shampoo that I have to apply to them every week and let sit for 5 torturous minutes! They climb, scrath (Thank goodness for my gloves) and they give me the face that just breaks my hart. "Why are you being so cruel to me? what did I do to you?"

They are healing well, and Kira's sores are almost gone and her fur is growing back! YAY!

On top of that, I have two new rats that I adopted from my best friend because she didn't have the time to care for them.

So now I have four fuzz-butts of love! WOOHOO!

I have Kira, and Fritz, and the newbies, Skunky and Oreo, who oddly are blood-related! ^_^

I may not be able to post very much or surf the web, because all our computers have been cruely attacked by a computer destroying virus and spyware, I have to use a library to get on the internet, but I can't even do that very often because I don't have a parental permission thing on my library card....

I'll let you know when our computers are doing better. Until then, Toodles! ^_^ -C00lgurly (or prefered name) Ratgirl_fk (maybe I should change that to Ratgirl_fkso, lol, for Fritz, Kira, Skunky, Oreo!)

Congrats on your new additions! And I'm glad that Fritz and Kira are getting better.

"Fuzz-butts of love" Heh.

Abita and I had to do the Shampoo thing also, but for ten minutes. That's forever for a rat! Glad to hear it's helping them out--that's the whole point, isn't it?
