    All Living Things Multiple Level Cage?

    Does anyone have any comments on the assembly of this cage vs the CN? Is the cage less wobbly as a result of the screws? Do you think the screws might strip out over time? I am wondering if Midwest made the design changes to save money or to improve their product? The FN originally started...

    opinons requested please

    Yep, it looks complicated but I was able to reverse engineer one for personal use. If you want Jo I would be happy to do a tutorial. I've actually been thinking lately of doing another tutorial but couldn't think of what I wanted to do.

    Great rat book - The Lab Rat Chronicles

    I always keep an eye out for good non-fiction books about rats that are easy to digest(IE not a 100 page research study) and recently picked up a copy of "The Lab Rat Chronicles". It contains behavior studies done on rats and draws parallels to human behavior. A lot of non-fiction books are...

    German Fiance - Starting Over...

    If he marries you "unplanned" while in the states he will be unable to leave the country for any reason until his paperwork goes through.. I also have to say the fact that you already filed paperwork means they may take a really good look at the "unplanned" part of the wedding and I am not sure...

    Black Olives

    Yeah I know about the fat but its considered more of a good healthy fat then a bad fat. My boys eat 80% oxbow so I give them a treat once in awhile :) You are right though that olives are crazy high in sodium

    Black Olives

    I had never thought of giving my rats black olives before but there were some left over so I gave them one and a fight quickly broke out. I ended up giving each guy his own olive and they demolished them.

    Ovarioectomy. Thoughts?

    I don't know much about ovariectomy vs a spay. What is the difference in cost per rat? I had a girl spayed as a full adult (unknown age) who head already developed a mammary tumor and the tumor removed. I had her for another 1.5 years and the tumor never grew back, I ended up having to pts due...

    The Poptart Tragedy

    I am very much for full sentences and proper spelling, my work actually encourages us to use short form for everything and we even have an entire page on short form abbreviations. We can take a paragraph and turn it into a sentence. I find myself doing it more and more even outside of work :(

    what gets you out of bed in the morning?

    I asked my doctor if I was low on iron perhaps and at the time I didn't have a period so he told me it was impossible because I was never losing blood. I also can not take a multivitamin with Iron because it makes me vomit I've been told though there is a form of Iron that is easier to stomach...

    what gets you out of bed in the morning?

    I have the same problem as you petunia, on the weekend even if I manage to get myself out of bed at a decent hour, I sit down somewhere "just for a minute" and wake up hours later. The doctor did testing to see if I have a thyroid issue (runs in the family, but I don't) and prescribed...
