Ah, this is such a difficult choice to have to make! Hasn't she got a lovely sweet gentle face bless her. If she's still eating and drinking she wants to live and its not quite time, although I had willow pts when she was still eating a very little mashed food as she had lost all quality of life and was struggling too much. I think your rattie would probably be very happy in a retirement cage on her own, I know how social they are but its not fun getting scratched and bullied when you're feeling weak and old. I think if you give her her own space she will probably snooze more and perhaps be more relaxed. She won't need anywhere big., my first hamster cage was a marchioro Rene which is a fairly small rat cage which the owners bought to house an elderly rat. Good luck sorting her out, she is a little poppet and I'm glad you're her owner as you care so much about her x
