    Meet Sequoia - The Leftover Snakebait Baby :)

    I'm so happy she has company again, and she must be too.

    Meet Sequoia - The Leftover Snakebait Baby :)

    Ahh so she's "mouthy" lol, that's why I wasn't sure if she was playing with me. She'd be bouncy like when they play but then bite a bit, I didn't know if she was telling me to leave her alone (not used to humans) or if it was just her testing her teeth. Love the name :)

    Looking for home for feeder baby

    I think the above poster changed their mind, I haven't gotten a response after saying she gets a bit sneezy when she's worked up when I try to handle her. If anyone else can help let me know. I can donate left over zithro in case it's a uri, and I have a tube of kitten revolution (might be...

    Looking for home for feeder baby

    She seems more afraid of me than the cat lol. I think she's coming around a little bit though. I could meet somewhere accessible, I don't drive.

    Looking for home for feeder baby

    I work in a pet supply store, we carry frozen feeders but there's two guys I think that order live mice. Last Friday they sent two baby rats, I guess they were out of adult mice. They were bought but yesterday at work I saw one was back with a note saying to send back to the supplier. The guy...

    Young rats looking for a new home

    I lost a couple of old boys this year and I'm down to one (a year old), looking for new cagemates but I can't get to London. Let me know if anyone brings them to TO.

    Wanted: Revolution

    Does anyone have a pack or just one tube for sale? I have some on order but my one girl is really scratching up her neck, would like to get some sooner. Thanks

    mites? + small abscess?

    Thanks :) I searched on here and I'll probably buy some online. I put her in with the other girls and I heard her protesting about something (she has a distinct squeek) and my first thought was I bet they are poking at her abscess. When I checked on her the scab was hanging by a bit so I dipped...

    blood from face and butt ,internal injury? update he's gone

    Poor guy. I had a rat with crooked teeth, she was a baby and luckily I noticed before it hurt her. We were able to cut them ourselves (the vet used pet nail trimmers, we used a small wire cutter)...I think because of the advanced nature of it though it would be best to have a vet help with that...

    mites? + small abscess?

    It looks more like it's right at the corner of her mouth actually. It's bigger today. To me it looks close to popping but I can't say for sure.

    mites? + small abscess?

    Well I can't find the stuff so I will look into Revolution. There's 4 (the 3 girls are going to my friend this weekend though, she has no other rats), and I'm south of Dundas West station.

    mites? + small abscess?

    Recently I noticed a couple of my rats with little scabs, mostly around the face and neck. The male I originally thought it was just from scuffles/power grooming with the other boys, and the female is the mother of babies that I put in with the other girls once in awhile to maintain their...

    wheels for male rats?

    I have a 9 week old male rat that uses a wheel. This is the first time I've had a male show interest. Do you think he will still use one as an adult? The one he is using is going to be too small very soon, so I was wondering which one would be good to get him. My girls have an 11" super pet one...

    what do you guys think of this cage?

    I have this cage too, it's a good size and not too heavy. I ended up not using the plastic shelves after awhile because they're annoying to put on, I just took the levels out of a 2-story hamster cage and use binder clips and shower hooks to attach them. I guess you could always wipe them down...

    old man rats and smell

    I have 2 old boys, Luther is about 6 weeks away from 3 years and Leon is just over 2.5 years. They've aged differently, Luther has HED to the point that he can't shuffle around anymore, he keeps his back end on it's side now (he's also got a benign tumour), whereas Leon just looks decrepit (his...

    relative taking advantage of us

    I won't go into too much details to keep this fairly short. Basically my dad had some problems with the friend he was living with last year, he talked my mom into letting him stay with us (they're divorced..). It was supposed to be for max 2 months and he weasled his way into staying almost a...

    want to intro new rat, but he is very skittish

    2 1/2 weeks ago I got a new male, he's 10 weeks old now. He's been on his own during this time for quarantine purposes, and also intros will be needed as my other males are all full grown adults (1.5-2.5 years old). He's very skittish. I've been putting him in my sweater and he has come out and...

    small lump on baby rat's throat

    There's no scab, and it moves with the skin.

    small lump on baby rat's throat

    She's about 2-3 months old, it's close to where her neck meets her body, it feels like a little pea and I can pinch the skin under it so I don't think it's attached to anything but skin. She seems awfully young to have a tumour, could it just be a cyst?

    where to buy blu-kote near Toronto?

    I actually got some already, long story but... I went to applesaddlery.com and it was out of stock, so I ordered Farnam Blue Lotion which said it was for wounds too. I got a call saying they were out of stock so they'd send me another brand, I said ok...then I read of people not having success...
