Hey all,
First off I've been skulking on these forums quite a bit recently - there are such knowledgeable people on here and it's so lovely to see people who love rats as much as me!
I wanted to ask for some advice regarding my new bubba Sulley. He's now about 12 weeks old and has developed scabbing around his chin (see pics) Looking online it sounds like mites, however the others have a few scratches (need to clip their nails) but poor sulley looks really affected. He's eating and drinking and such a playful little rat, but clearly there's something going on. I have a vets appointment next week but I was hoping there was something I could do to cure/help him untill we get there!
He's one of 5 - 2 other 12 week olds and 2 year old bucks. The alpha can be quite dominating of them. I'm also slightly worried about the woulnds as Sulley has taken to sleeping in the litter tray - last thing he needs is an infection!
Also (poor photo) I'm finding little clumps lke this all around the cage if that helps at all.
Any advice would be brilliant x
