A Neo Update

Neo is settling in pretty well, though he does have a few quirky behaviors that will need to be ironed out. I noticed today that he had the sniffles, probably from two months spent in a filthy aquarium, so I ran out to Walgreens and got some echinacea, some children's Motrin, and some Vaporub, came back, and gave Neo some echinacea "tea" and a steam bath.

A steam bath.

I gave my rat a freaking steam bath.

He's breathing a lot better and smells quite lovely, but I was sitting there the entire time going "I have GOT to get a life." He's running around my room right now, getting used to this whole idea of freedom, and I am so tired from cleaning rat cages and re-rat proofing my room that all I want to do is nap. But he's having so much fun exploring that I can't bear to put him away. Anyway, there's hammocks to be made. People keep telling me not to feel like a dork, because it's clear that I care, but I don't see any of them giving their rats steam baths.

I'm going out tonight, so help me. XD
