Ive got a rat that is 2 years and 5 months old, and he is looking terrible.
Still eating, drinking, etc. but he has almost no hair now, and is really
wrinkly. How old in human years would he be?

thanks in advance!

Sue

I read once that you can figure 10 days equals one year. By that formula,
he would be in his late eighties. But by that formula, I've had rats live
to be anything from 60 to 125! The problem with generalizations is that
they apply to everyone, but no one in particular.

Hmm. Tybalt and Angel should be collecting Social Security.
