How awful!! That is absolutely my worst nightmare about having my apartment broken into....as far as I am concerned, they could take or break absolutely anything I own, but leave my dog alone!! Why on earth would they harm your innocent pets, especially your poor little ratties?!? Ugh....some people are absolutely inhuman!! Just wanted to let you know that I am so sorry about what happened, and I'll have you in my thoughts!! Good luck with your recovery! We're all here for you!!
