Woman distraught after Evri loses her pet rat's ashes

A woman has been left 'heartbroken' after courier Evri lost the ashes of her pet rat. Jaimie Popplewell, 21, bought brothers Pumpkin and Pickle as young rats in October.

Sadly, Pumpkin succumbed to pneumonia in January, leaving Jaimie devastated. She had become hugely attached to the duo, even teaching them how to perform tricks, reports HullLive.

Jaimie - from Anlaby, near Hull - arranged for a cremation for Pumpkin, and sent off his ashes to be added inside a rat plushie made by a small Etsy business. After the crochet toy was posted back to Jaimie, she received a notification stating the parcel had gone missing.
