    New owner: emergency? Red stuff coming out of the nose

    They are feeling much better now! Sneezing less (much less) and no more red stuff! YAY!

    New owner: emergency? Red stuff coming out of the nose

    Food: they are eating the same brand of food that the pet store was giving them. I don't think it has a name, but it came out of a dispenser and had a specific number that they wrote down so they knew how much per pound it was. Before I even saw the rats for sale there was a lady working her...

    New owner: emergency? Red stuff coming out of the nose

    Thanks Victoria! I will look at those vet links as soon as I post this! Sorry it took me so long to reply: My lap top broke on me so all I have now is this ancient computer. I have such a good relationship with my vet. I will find out if he helps critters like my boys. He has done emergency...

    New owner: emergency? Red stuff coming out of the nose

    :gaah: I have been reading online and have found that most of the antibiotics that work need to be bought from a vet. I don't know of any verts in NW Ohio that take emergency calls or that are open on a saturday. The vet that I have has seen my dogs and my horse. I am not even sure if he has...

    New owner: emergency? Red stuff coming out of the nose

    I got to talk to the owner who was selling them at the pet shop. She stated that they liked to sleep alot, even when they didn't have this cold. Is this normal for rats? Because they DO sleep alot. They are both eating and drinking water. They don't have any gurgling/wheezy noises: just...

    New owner: emergency? Red stuff coming out of the nose

    I had just wrote in my introduction post that my two rats did not have any red fluids coming out of their noses. Well, they didn't earlier. But these two guys just woke up after I wrote that post, and I heard them sneezing harder than normal (they get to live in my bedroom). Yesterday only one...

    A new rat owner with TWO rats!

    WOW! Thanks so much for all of your help! It really means alot to me! As for the sneezing, I haven't noticed anything red at all, but will be on the look out. I also raise show quality bantam chickens, and there has been MANY times where I have saved their lives because I created an emergency...

    A new rat owner with TWO rats!

    Thanks for all of your help! I really love these guys! And yes, the cage is very small. It's a weird cage too. A hamster would get out of it, it's too small for a bunny. I don't really know what they were thinking when this cage zie was selected to be made! I knew we would need a bigger one as...

    Age to neuter?

    Is it expensive to neuter? I just bought two extremely tame male rats and am curious how much this process can cost per rat?

    A new rat owner with TWO rats!

    This is a picture of the cage. As you can see, it is not large enough (at least in my opinion). I think they would really like having a larger cage! I wonder if a giant "Ferret Nation" cage would work? I know that I want their future home to be VERY big! And here are their pictures! I...

    A new rat owner with TWO rats!

    Hi there! My name is Samantha. As a little girl I always had pet mice growing up. I found fancy rex mice for sale and decided to buy three females so my kids could experience the same joys as I did when little. My son and I went to the pet store to pick up some food before stopping at the...
