ok. so my rat has a tumor. and yes its a tumor! haven't been to the vet but you can tell what it is! i don't want to put her down. i don't really have the $$ to go to the vet either. i was wondering if i put her outside in a secluded area that's kinda in the woods by a river if she would survive. i would leave her with plenty of food and being next to a river she would have plenty of water. let me know! i have read that they can survive and i have heard that they can not. help!
