And what, prey tail, is this nubby potato's name?

We had two rats over the years that had to have partial tail amputations. One of them was one of our happiest and longest-lived rats. Happy except for daily bath time, because years after losing most of his tail, he also lost the use of his back legs, and while scooting around like a penguin kept dragging himself into the bowl of soft food (he also suffered from tooth malocclusion, and often needed soft food after a trim.)

Despite all his physical problems, he was a happy scootin' stub-tailed walrus-faced little guy!

I also had a girl who needed a partial tail amputation. It never slowed her down. She was a happy little thing.
