I'm shocked!

I had the rats out running around. I hear a loud “squeak squeak” and I see that Sibella has chewed the shit out of a lamp cord that was plugged in. Mau takes one look and says “Oh, this isn’t good.”. I feared a dead rat, possibly smoking. He picked her up and sat her on the floor so we could get a good look at her. She isn’t the friendly one so normally she would dart off but she just sat there swaying back and forth. We discussed options for about 10 minutes then Mau snapped his fingers. She jumped straight in the air then ran off. We put her back in the cage to observe her. She had blood around her eyes but not running down. I figured she had burns inside her mouth so I offered her a Teddy Graham and she quickly snatched it and ate. Hmmm. We observed some more and she seemed to be moving about more. I left her overnight expecting to find a dead rat in the morning but she was alive. She seems perfectly normal now and is back to her fiesty self. Shocking.
