LOL, never mind it was worth a try

Thanks Courtney! Ophelia was (and still is) really cute!

My first rat Cairo, has been living alone his entire life. I took him from a free ad, and I figured he was happy.

Now that he has his buddies, if I compare how he is now to how he was before the new rats, I would say he was DEPRESSED.
Well, all I can say is that Tia is not depressed. If I introduced any other rat to Tia, she would kill it, no doubt about that.
