Leonidas, my rattie....

[SnowyShiloh]

Oh gosh, is Leo Skeo ever adorable! I just love him. Tell him so! He's so cute diving right into the baby food, too. I'm considering supplementing Colby and Stevie with Ensure, do you think that would be a good idea? Stevie is almost a year and a half old and Colby is 11 months, 1 week old. Since Stevie's sisters have all passed, I consider her to be "at risk" and maybe Ensure could help her hang on longer? They're both acting fine, but so were Berry and Minty.

Leo does seem to be doing well, but I will not keep my hopes up. Every time ratties get better, it seems they turn around and go down worse the next time.

He is still very boney, but he doesn't feel as shockingly skinny as before. I have been doing 2 feedings of chocolate Ensure and rice/fruit/egg baby food a day.



Shiloh, I don't think it would hurt to do a feeding of Ensure a day, to keep weight on .

Awwww Leo is so cute! I've never owned rats and don't know much about them, but he is adorable!

I hope he puts some weight on and you get as much more time with him as possible...

Sending lots of healing vibes

How's Leo feeling?

Leo is feeling okay, it seems....still thin, but that is expected. I am just hoping he holds on or goes naturally...on his own. He is a lot perkier, with the extra feedings.
