    RB's noises

    Thanks everyone. We think he's pretty cute, too! I know my phone does this weird whirring noise in videos, but the noises RB's making are those grunting, whooping, crackling noises. The vets didn't charge for the xray, they wanted to do it for their own peace of mind to be absolutely sure...

    RB's noises

    Hi, everyone RB has been making these grunting type of noises lately, and has been taking more rests when he's out running around. We took him to the vet today, and although they said his lungs sounded and looked okay (they took an xray!), the video I showed them clearly showed the sounds...

    Baby Food?

    Hi, everyone RB's doing wonderful! He's such a sweet boy. I've been trying to switch things up and give him a few different treats a day, and we know what fruits and veggies he likes, but I was wondering about your suggestions for baby food and baby cereal. My concern is that some baby foods...

    Testicle questions

    Thanks, Jorats. I think we'll take him to the vet, just to be safe, but I wanted to see if anyone else had ever experienced it.

    Testicle questions

    We're not sure, but he's at least two years. He definitely has more of an 'old man' way about him. It's not cold, no, but you never know if it's considered cold for him. I groped him a bit more (lol), and his drawn up testicle definitely feels softer and smaller than the other. I didn't...

    Testicle questions

    Hi, everyone RB is doing wonderfully! He's such an affectionate rat! Not only is he a kisser, but he's also a dentist and a nose cleaner AND an eyebrow groomer AND an ear inspector. Holy moly, he goes all out! My question is about his boy-bits, though. About 5 days ago I noticed that his left...

    Revolution questions

    Hi, everyone Can you answer a question for me? RB weighs 586g, how much Revolution should he get (we have the adult cat size that does 2-7kg). And where exactly do you apply it that he won't lick it off?

    Tricking out 1 level FN

    I know, but as I said, he's not been able to have a buddy in the past, so we're not going to press. I know it's not a good scenario for him, but we're working with what we have.

    Tricking out 1 level FN

    Hi, SQ I know he should have a pal, but the woman has been unsuccessful in introducing others to him, so we're going to keep him as a singleton. It's not ideal by any means, I know. I'll check out those stores, I haven't been to them yet. We were at PetValu and Petsmart.

    Tricking out 1 level FN

    Hello, everyone! You all probably don't remember me, it's been years since I've been on here! I had four boys in 2008 that I unfortunately had to rehome due to family issues. It's been a long time, but my sister and I have lived in Fredericton for two years, and we were approached about a sweet...

    Ronnie: Aug 28, 2007 to March 9, 2010

    Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this, Godmother! At least he had a wonderful life with you, plenty of great friends, and had the best care possible, and the kindess decision made for him. I'll remember him along with the other boys, sweet things that they were.

    Jesse (aka Loki): Aug 28, 2007 to Aug 26, 2009

    I'm so sad to hear that he passed away so suddenly, and after just hearing a few weeks ago that my heart rat, Rose (Wiley) had passed away, too. I can't thank you enough for all yours and SQ's help with these boys, and I'm glad he had so many wonderful months with you and his brother and your...

    So frustrated with this dog....{RANT}

    I want to point you to a forum that did wonders for me when I was struggling with some issues with my Dachshund. Go to http://familydog.yuku.com, and it's a forum that is owned by Sarah Wilson, a wonderful woman who wrote the most invaluable book to me, My Smart Puppy...

    Welcome the new Puppy! *pics*

    This is real late, but I'm guessing Rottie, some sort of hound, and perhaps some Mastiff in him.

    Your rats name , meaning?

    I'm so happy to see other anime fans naming their animals after characters, things from japanese culture, etc, and from video games and books! XD Rosencrantz was quite a surprise, since when I bought Rose I thought he was a she. A week later, after his little goolies descended, I was rather...

    Cats and Rats

    My cats showed the usual interest in my rats, but I had previous encouragement with one of them when we had our fish tank. The first time they looked at the fish tank one cat jumped right up to try to get at them, and I slammed my hand down on the table beside the tank and it was enough to...
