I hope you don't mind me posting this here, but my lovely rat Massey died on Wednesday morning. My fiance found her when he passed the cage on his way to the kitchen. She didn't move, as she usually comes out when anyone passes so he checked on her and she was stiff. Her sister Fergie who we kept in the same cage (rats like to live in pairs) is very unhappy, she doesn't communicate as much and doesn't seem to be eating her food, just the treats that I give her and for all I know she could just be taking and burying them.
I know some people don't think that caged small animals are on the same level as cats or dogs but I still loved her and I miss her.
