My older girls will do that too. Funny thing. Haven't seen it recently but used to see it a lot more.

Queen was a very special rat to a lot of people. She was my first rat alongside Mischief who is unfortunately not too far behind her. She was real weak with HED and I knew she didn't have too much longer, but she didn't wait to be put to sleep and died sometime today. The first of my rats...

I'm honestly not sure if he's using it for bedding. I think he is using newspaper for bedding and had some in. He hasn't complained about an odor or anything... and he says that the rattie uses it as a bed..

A friend of mine recently rescued a male rattie, and so far he's been good with research/taking care of him (and I told him he needs a companion so I've got that covered). He has a few things to correct but he has Timothy hay in his cage. Nikki has told me that it isn't good for ratties due to...

I mentioned that online earlier. I feel like the problem was solely on the family. NO way that child should have died. Also did you notice that they only got the male "to be married" to the female they had? Some people are, to be kind, unfit as pet owners...

If you mean the beige hoodie that is Angel :). She's a stinker though. She's a lot better now, but when we first got her she was very shy and was a biter. Never bit me but drew blood on Nikki.

wow that looks really good! Are you going to add floors and ladders to this? Like for older ratties that can't climb well?

I didn't get all of the pics up but I did snag a few good ones. First off here is the cage. It's in a " rat room" that is also shared with my drum set. It's perfect as it can be easily blocked off for them to have play time out of their cage. And they get tons of room to run around (I don't...

I hate seeing how bad they are, but can't wait to see them after they have been with you for a bit!!

Well I went through my water bottles and discarded one of them that was extremely leaky. The rest seem to be ok and I've given them a good scrubbing so hopefully no more huge water leaks (the one was leaking heavy. Constant dripping..) I'm going to look into those glass water bottles as well.

We have used bowls before but they can leave a big mess. Especially with 10 rats!

Have you had any issues with rusting? Seems like a lot of people love it, but it rusts.. I'll be near petsmart tonight. So that's a good plus as I can go look at them!

@ Godmother Thank you!! @ temblabamomo: Thank you as well! It was hard (but harder on Nikki as Lucy was her baby.. though I secretly wanted to rat-nap Lucy before we lived together LOL), but our new Christmas ratties seemed to be destined for us. Fate brought us together :D @ jorats: Good...

Yeah I know it's a common problem for water bottles to leak. I know that it happens to everyone. But I have a few questions to ask. 1. How do you check/tell if a gasket is bad? 2. Are glass water bottles really good? Nikki is wanting to get some saying that they rarely leak out. Is that...

It has been a very busy december and january. Finally moved in with littlematchstick and got our ratties situated. They are all happy as can be :). I'm going to upload some pictures today for you all to see but here are some updates to my crew. First off Lucy passed away from her mammary tumor...

LOL I did the same pumpkin!!! Ill post pics when I'm home from work!

Last night my baby Yuna passed away. She was one of the MI hoarder girls, and was less than a year old, not fully grown. There were no signs she was sick, lungs healthy and I did a checkup of all the girls last week. She was playing fine earlier in the day. Me and littlematchstick found her...

They are cute!! And that is an awesome hammock!

haha nope not a teen anymore. she's actually close to 2 years! :(.. I'd say (guessing) she is 1 year, 8 months... you'd never tell though by how she acts!!

I love giving them these things. I made my own "toilet paper holder" inside their cage and strung up some toilet paper. They would all have fun pulling it off the roller. Made a huge mess in the cage though!
