15 Dec 2006: Andover Rattery is CLOSED indefinitely because of illness in the rats. I have lost 8 rats in the past 12 days and have 6 sick, and about one new one getting sick each day. I cannot in good conscience continue breeding when things are like this. Further news as it is warranted.

OMG I am so sorry.
I do know what this is like. You don't even want to go to the barn because you are dreading more dead or sick animals.
I know.
I almost always ( even when they are healthy) steel myself as I get to the ranch, just to be prepared for dead ones.

You will get over this. Things will be better eventually.

Oh Ann that's terrible. I'm so sorry.
Can you segregate the ones that haven't gotten sick yet in hopes of keeping them from getting it?
