    Renting with rats

    Tell the truth. Get it written into your lease saying it's ok. If not they can give you a ridiculous short amount of time to get them out or get out yourself for going against your lease terms.

    Decided to make my own grain mix

    Did you see the part where the suebee mix says it is a supplement to lab blocks or well selected dog food? It is not a complete diet alone. I miss how $36 for 10lb which will last them about 5 months is bad? it's far less than a $20 a month budget. Where are you located? Maybe...

    Possible pregnant weight gain?

    Did your new food come? Did you consider free feeding? It concerns me that they are fed at 3pm daily and it is all gone by bedtime (and treats will be gone quickly too) and then no food til 3 the next day. Rats have a fast metabolism and should never be fasted. Glad you are getting...

    wanting to buy a sewing machine - input please?

    Out of the ones you are considering I'd definitely go with the brother machine. I have 4 different brother machines and love them all. They are by the maker of Babylocks, which are some of the top quality machines and many of the parts of them inside are identical to Babylock machines.

    HELP!!!

    brown carefresh is very dusty, the petstore uses it because it is what corporate makes them use, not because it is a good bedding. The white or colored is less dusty if you want to stick with a carefresh. Bonding sacks or ratoobs can be great for getting them used to you, you can also...

    Oh no.. I found a lump.

    depending how long "awhile" is they might want to try a warm compress on it a few times a day to see if it comes to a head and opens up (abscess)

    HELP!!!

    It could be new home sneezing, it could be allergies. How do they sound when you hold them up against your ear and listen to their side. If you are hearing gurgling, or clicking they need to be seen by a vet to have respiratory infections treated.

    TETRACYCLINE(Fish antibiotics) for rats

    Just cause the breeder rat is not sick doesn't mean the others don't have some sort of respiratory infection/issue (upper, lower, or pneumonia) If she is from a ethical breeder it would be expected that one of their main goals is health and the breeder could have been working with lines with...

    TETRACYCLINE(Fish antibiotics) for rats

    Really a vet needs to diagnose the problem and prescribe the proper medication, you aren't even sure what is wrong with them and have tried some meds already that didn't work. The best chance they have is to see a vet.
