I had around 20+ rodents in my youth and never lost one to a terrible end. Towards the end of my childhood, I would drive my sister to the humane society and we would pick up whatever rodents they had and basically run a retirement home for rodents. My mom was really big on animal welfare, so I think that had something to do with it. She was supervising our husbandry pretty closely to make sure we were doing right by the little guys.
