Yeah uh I know it's a bit late for Halloween stuff, but this is just my Halloween blanket :3
This is Shadow, my baby rat born October 19. I didn't post anything about him, because he was the only one born alive out of 9 babies.
Cloud gave birth to them a week early. He was so tiny. I'll post more pictures eventually, I'm just really swamped with work and I'm usually too tired to do much.

He has either a tumor or a hernia [did I spell that right?] where his "belly button" is the size of a dime, and it's blackish purple inside. I don't have enough money to get it removed at the vet.
I'm really upset because he is my favorite and most calm rat I've ever had. [so far lol] He's so amazing and fluffly lol.
If anyone knows anything about this stuff, I'd really like the advice. Just please don't give me links to any forums like that or anything. I hate searching and searching. I'm already part of a forum but people on there are stupid and I'd rather hear something from a DA person.

Update 11/11/2010: Hey guys thanks everyone so much for your concern and advice! I just got a job so I'll be able to fix this problem soon

Update: 11/23/2010: Hey everyone! He's fine now [from what I can see, but I'm still going to get him checked out, nonetheless] because I discovered him one day in his cage and there was blood and other goop everywhere.
Whatever it was, had burst. I had to clean out the tank
and give him a bath with baby wash lol. ...He didn't like it [cuz it prolly burned the wound] BUT I HAD TO CLEAN IT HELLOOOO
but it's all healed up now and all he's got is a teeny bump where it scarred.

UPDATE 11/29/2010: I'm so freaking retarded. All this time I thought Shadow was male. I decided to look down there today just to make sure, because he's almost 5weeks old. AND THEN I SAW 3 HOLES. *palmface* He is not a he, but a SHE. Oops. I've never made that mistake, ever! Lol. Well I'm glad now because I don't have to get rid of her But still....I'm a little shocked at my own stupidity....lol...
