Thanks to my friends next door neighbours being ignorant and uncaring we lost 9 Russian blue baby rats
They AIMED their fireworks right over my friend's garden (where her bedroom with the animals is) and they didn't even warn anyone.
They could have killed a whole aviary of rare, valuable and prized pet exotic birds such as red rumps, partridges, laughing thrush (cannot get hold of them now as there is an import ban!!), AND a pair of purple galinules (also known as reed hens... Google it, they're amazing)
But yeah, two litters of rat babies died, one was one week old but the other was nearly four 4 weeks old!! they were practically old enough to leave mum and would have been... if we had known
More gutting still... the bigger and older litter of Russian blues all carried the Husky gene as their mum is a Husky and their dad a Russian Blue!
Our neighbours refused to even apologise!!! not to mention they had their own blind dog and rabbits in the garden too!!!
I can't believe some people!!
