    Well, that doesn’t mean it’s not done.

    My sister had a few (more than 20 simultaneously) rats.

    One rat got stuck with her tail in the cage, and the tail had to be amputated, or the rat would’ve died. There were a few complications during the operation, and the bill would have skyrocketed to more than 2k€. For a tiny rat.

    Needless to say, my sister insisted the operation continue. Rat lived happily for another 18 months

      I’m skeptical but I would like to hear about those cases. I had a mouse with $600 vet bill. She did actually live another seven months with a good quality of life.
