Yeah, candy corn, not caramel. And the lip balm had been missing, was looking for it the other day, my guess is that it had wedged in between the couch cushions (it's a leather couch, the seats are fixed, not big foam blocks wrapped in cloth) and they pulled it out. I didn't intentionally...

I'll start by saying she's fine, I dunno what this was, but it rather scared the shite out of me. So I have all the girls out the other night, two nights ago I think it was, and I gave them some treats. Dark bottom candy corn to be exact, I prefer the yellow bottom, so I have this big bag of...

Greetings fellow Kentuckian.

Yeah, mine poop all over, I just suck them out with the vacuum hose every day or two. My problem I guess is that it's not entirely convenient to get my hands totally in the cage to root around in the bedding to look for food. I just sometimes notice a bunch when I change it. and almost every...

I have this problem too, I know the stashing is normal, but I find it wasteful, I wind up throwing away at least a quarter of any food I buy. What can be done to stop the waste?

Yeah it's like beta fish, put two males in a small space and they fight. They attach the razors to the rosters feet to make it more "interesting". Now, honestly, I don't rank birds very high on my give a **** list, and cock fighting really doesn't even bother me all that much. I don't condone...

I find this hilarious... screw that guy.

I've always owned girls and this is pretty common, the random bouts of hyperactivity...

I had a breakout about a month or so ago. It was a few weeks after I had gotten my most recent rat Josi. The previous owner had always kept her housed in a lab bin, though she had out time on a big chair and foot rest combo. But you'd think she'd have been super happy in her now way bigger home...

Well the first bite was in the cage, but I think it was fear based self protection, not aggression, really. The second bite was during free time and I was scratching on her but, as stated back a couple posts may set them off. I didn't know that, I just assumed it's go over well, scratching at...

Yeah, I figure worst case scenario, she'll just not get out of cage play time if it means a shredded hand, but I don't like the thought of that. It's a good size cage but I don't want her to never come out with me on the couch. My other concern is my temper. Getting bit results in a pretty...

Okay, I have a bad habit of wording things poorly. I don't have any intent of killing her. But I also don't want to continue to be bit. I was attempting to make a point about how much one should tolerate a biting animal. Some dogs need to be put down for danger and sometimes the person who got...

So, it's because she's the alpha that she's more rough? I understand what the squeaks "say", but why do they only have to "say" it to her. If Josi pins Gwen, nothing, if Gwen pins Josi, nothing, if either of them pin Champ, nothing, Champ pins either one, shrieking bloody murder... She also bit...

Yeah I know the pinning is no big deal, I thought I said I see them all do that to each other, the issue for me is that when Champ is on top, whomever is on bottom is just squeaking and squeaking. Occasionally even a screech. I know the general rule is no blood no foul, but I'm curious that it...

Don't just throw it away, that's a waste of money. Use it outside as mulch in a flower bed or big pot. It'll look good and help keep pesty bugs away.

Sometimes they just jay there, sometimes the squiggle trying to get free, and it seems like normal play, but sometimes there are just all these squeaks and occasionally what borders on a shriek. But it's only when Chap does the pinning. They all pin each other, but only when Chap is on top does...

Okay, sorry if contextual explanations get long winded... So I've got three rats, Champ, had first, Gwen, got to be Champ's companion, Josi, someone gave me as a hand-me-down because I had rats and they didn't want her anymore. Champ was originally bought to be the companion of a previous rat...

Put them in closets and backs of cabinets and whatnot to keep bugs away. My dad would also throw chunks of cedar and pine in the fake Christmas tree box during storage, kinda make it smell like a real tree when you put it up.

Fawn eh? And I guess it was that agouti I was thinking of. I didn't realize how much darker they were, I just sort of remember seeing wild rats that were a little more golden tan, than dark brown or black like the city rats. From what I understand the bigger nasty looking black rats are a whole...

Man... I saw this video the other day (go to youtube and search laughing rat) and I was rather excited about that little device (bat detector) that converts the high pitch sounds to human audible range. But they're pretty expensive. I'd love to get one though. Anyone ever have one?
