Caring for Pet Rats Before They Give Up the Ghost and Ghost in the Shell (04-16-17 #4)

Matt and Liz discuss caring for elderly pet rats, local DC eagle news, Ghost in the Shell, Batgirl movie announcement, gaming, and more.

Ratty Topics – We discuss health issues that older rats can face as they age and how to best care for your aging rats. Most pet rats only live 2-3 years so for those of us with big rat packs, caring for elderly rats is a frequent issue.

Check out podcast Episode 20, Episode 21, and Episode 26 for more information on caring for elderly rats.

Local Animal News – In DIY, Liz shares a recipe for baking clay so you can make your own pawprints ornaments. Also, as always, more updates on the DC Bald Eagles!
