Dear Pringles Rat came to us by chance. My daughter had recently lost her pet rat, Blossom and her other rat, Polly, was lonely. Pringles was left at the local pet shop one day by someone unknown. My daughter took her home and loved her as did Polly until her own death. Pringles was already old. She developed a benign cancer that grew very large but didn’t affect her mobility until almost the end. We chose to send her to ratty heaven when she began to look weary. She was just lovely.
