mercurydust - those treats weren't from the dollar store. I would never buy food from a dollar store, especially for the pets! Anita - I got all that stuff from the dollar store by Kroger and the post office on Michigan Ave/Outer Dr. I haven't seen the awesome tunnels in a long time (since...

Godmother, the cage looks awesome! :D

Hi All :hello2 It's been a while since I've posted, so I thought I'd start with an introduction (reintro for some members!) of my 8 ratties. I'll start from the oldest and work my way down the line :wink2: First, is my sweet old boy, Nigel, who is 33 months old. He has about 80% back leg...

Oh, Shelagh - Chenoa is GORGEOUS! And she looks so sweet too :)

Isn't he from FarStar Rattery here in MI? Unfortunately, it seems a lot of the people who have gotten rats from her have had to deal with terrible health and behavioral issues in them (including myself), especially tumors. Along with that, she doesn't care to respond to emails about it, and...

I actually didn't mind getting it at all. I was kind of scared about the pain since I heard such a vast amount of different stuff from people, one even said I'll smell my skin burning. Honestly, it wasn't bad at all until it was right on top of my sternum. It felt like I was being cut open...

Just in case some of you aren't on Goosemoose ;) About a week ago now, I got my first tattoo. I was thinking about getting all these different cute things, but they were meaningless so I just kept thinking and thinking. Then something just hit me, and it felt so perfect. My hugest pet peeve...

For me, it's kind of random. I'm down to 8 rats now, and while sometimes I'm at the vet's office once or twice a week for a month or more, other times I can go a couple of months without even needing to email my vet. Since my rats' ages are at least a little spaced out, I have some time...

I'll be honest, I don't know of any good breeders in Michigan. They're all somehow shady and have bad practices. Even the ones that seem really great, sadly. Breeders from other states won't even touch this area - Danny from TEK calls Michigan the "Badlands." I'll never go the breeder route...

FEMALES. Without a doubt! With all my mixed-sex colonies, the females ruled the roost with an iron fist. I remember back when I introduced my first girls, and they both went straight to the then-alpha boy, Winterbane, who was not a very nice rat, and immediately flipped him and power-groomed...

I just read through this thread -- I'm so sorry for your losses, Jo :( I can't believe Radar and Treat are gone! How many babies have you lost thus far? I hope this situation ends soon.

Thanks for sending me a link to the thread! :D The hammocks look great, and it looks like everyone loves the new bedding. Hopefully they won't rattify them too quickly :cheeky:

I have a girl, Encephalon, who had a seizure as a baby and possibly a permanent lesion on her brain. She's also mostly, or completely, blind in one eye. She has very different mannerisms from the rest of the rats, and besides her long-time cagemate, Fyn, the other rats do not understand her at...

I think I need to get on here more often! :cheeky: Here's my cage a couple cleanings ago... And after spot cleaning a couple days later...

No worries, everyone. I was just looking for an update :)

Anyone pick up some blankies for me? :stickpoke: :D

Ooo, I love them all besides the brown/red "stripey" plaid! :heart:
