Hi guys

[farla]

Despite available evidence, I'm still not dead.

Although actually if I was dead you guys would probably be the second or so group to know about it. So it's more that I haven't been kidnapped or in a coma. I'd hope, anyway, if I came out of a coma to find out Mom's told you guys stuff I'd be pretty upset.

Wow this is morbid.

So anyway, yeah. I've just been stressed about other stuff and avoiding everything. Sorry, no good reason for any of it. Now to get to work on all the stuff I have to do and people I have to contact now.

Speaking of things that aren't dead, the rats are still doing well despite all our hopes and plans. Does anyone know if we can leave them out once it gets below freezing? They're living in a pretty good brushpile and have access to plenty of nesting material, but they're elderly pet albino rats, so I'm dubious of their survival capabilities. Although they've been outdoing the chickens by a fair margin so far.

Comas and kidnapping are never good things, lol. Welcome back nonetheless, though.

As for your rat question, not sure but I think so. Have your rats very been outside during winter before? If so, I think they should be able to adapt to the cold once more. Your area should be able to have rats already able to handle cold winters, most likely. Also, you said the rats outdid the chickens, so they should be fine.

No, to the best of my knowledge they've never been outside at all before this summer. They are pretty chubby little guys though.
