My rat Odette is around 16 months old had her since she was 5/6 weeks old and she's constantly in heat. My girls are out for at least an hour everyday and its hard to think of a time where she hasn't been in heat, she must be in heat for at least 5/6 days out of every 7 days. I thought it was weird when i realised just how often she was in heat, but then just sorta thought nothing of it and that its just her. But is it weird? Is that an indication of something being wrong? she's done it ever since i can remember. Anyone else had a rat that was constantly in heat?
she's also actually very sensitive she doesn't like being grabbed or picked up, she will squeak, she's more of a "ill come to you in my own sweet time, thank you" kinda rat. And that kind of behaviour is just getting worse and worse, dread the day I need to take her to the vet because she'll make it so difficult for them to handle her. Don't get me wrong she's friendly and social, she'll come running over to me, climb my leg to get to me, groom my ears, has learnt a few tricks, she just is very much the boss lol.
