my rats always dig after a cage cleaning too.

that popcorn sure looks like a human head!

Can someone educate us on the connection with blaze and mega colon?

Personally I think they are a lot younger than 4 months... So tiny. Thanks for posting.

Through a rescue, Huron Valley Rat Rescue - I found a vet that will do his sterilization for $66. Not too bad I'd say. So, I'll be making Spiccety (the name the previous girl gave him) an appointment soon. After that, he and the 3 girls will be living together pending a 3 week recovery, and...

I will no longer be feeding corn. But not for the reasons listed on many of your opinions. I have seen time and again the reference to fungus being the cause for liver cancer. Could never find the actual study that said so. However, I did find another study that was done on rats. It appears...

The cage they were kept in was deplorable as well. Tiny as all getout and rusty. I put it out to the trash tonight. We set them up in a nice BIG roomy cage. I went out and got them a nice in-cage birdbath tonight. They haven't used it yet, but hopefully soon.

I just picked up a pair of these for my mom. I'm gonna help her try and breed these. These are so rare and hard to find. You can find breeders here and there, but it will be quite a drive if you do. I found ours but it was 3 hours worth of driving. It was a couple of rednecks (no offense to...

Too much of anything can kill you for sure. Except, too much fun, money, happiness, love, etc. lol..

Yes, I really want to get Pappa fixed and just put the girls in with him. Thats my goal. Will do it as soon as i've set aside the cash. I'm also going to contact a local rescue to see if they can help me out on where to go. I don't think my vet (for my dogs) does rats, and even if they did i...

Welcome as well! You should start a new post and let us see some pics of your ratties! Sorry I don't have photos today, but I got Pappa all set up in his Ferret Nation (all to himself).. He's already litter trained as i happily found out today. His poop is in a neat pile in the litter pan...

mmm tasty pumpkins

I know that it is possible to OD on C in humans, as it decreases copper levels in humans which is an essential nutrient. Its also been known to cause diarrhea. In older humans it can damage the kidneys. I'm unaware of any studies in rats though.

Thanks. I plan to have photos of Alice and Claire's Pappa up here tomorrow (Sunday) as I have just adopted him as well. He's a cool looking dude.

Hopefully i can get him sterilized soon so he can be with the girls. That would be fun.

Ok thanks a lot for your expertise. I would never risk breeding these guys. Don't worry.

No no of course, i didn't mean to the girls. I meant to another boy. I'm not in a position for a neuter right away, but I should be able to do it in the future. Should I not even attempt it until then? This is not a breeder - This is an offshoot of a rescue (Indigo Rats) a friend I guess...

I got a single unit Ferret Nation for 45 bucks. The two female dumbos (Alice, and Claire) now have their father living nearby (in a different room). He came with the ferret nation. He's all alone for now, going to see some ideas about introduction in the intros thread. He's twice their size...

I have news. Just received the father of my two dumbo girls <------- seen here (the girls - will get pics of the big daddy shortly) The girl claims he can only be kept alone because he hates other rats. She claims she's tried intros. Should I even attempt it?

I wasn't the only one talking about it my friend lol :thumbup: But i do get your point. Its easy for threads to get out of hand.
