It's better classified as a low-to-zero glycemic sweetener than an artificial one. The compound is naturally occurring and some of the preparations of it are definitely natural in nature (dried stevia leaf in teas, simple tinctures distilled into alcohol, etc) as opposed to being extracts or...

I'm so sorry she passed. You did everything you could, a rattie couldn't ask for more from their owner :(

Such a bummer for Hoggle - sometimes these things just happen, it was because you're such a diligent owner that it was noticed so quickly! Rest in peace, sweet boy!

I hope all goes well and her symptoms can be alleviated so she is more comfortable. Waiting on news tomorrow!

On the occasions I give my rats table food like porridge it has a few drops of stevia in it. I've never noticed adverse side effects, but give it very infrequently. I wouldn't do any sugar alcohols at all, but a stevia glycerite should be safe (be careful with powdered stevia, some have...

Congratulations! I had a summer baby with my second, it was quite nice not to haul the baby around in the snow for a few months :). I'm currently due any day with #4 and not really looking forward to the winter trudge with another newborn ;) ETA - I just realized winter trudging at the end of...

Ah! They are SO adorable!

Quite the ordeal! Poor Charlie :(

I'm so sorry you. Rest in peace, rattie!

Surgery is always scary! I wish you and the babies the very best!

Rest in Peace, BB! I'm sorry for your loss, Jorats :(

I'm sorry she passed but I'm glad it was so gentle and with her owner. And the extra time from the medications is a treasure :)

Like triangularly shaped for a corner? I'd imagine that sort of thing would be custom and not terribly difficult to work up :)

That was so nice of him! Enjoy the new cage.

Choosing just five?! That's impossible, they're all SO adorable. I keep wanting to give them smooches :)

I'm dying of cuteness! I have zilch advice on their care, just had to chime in on the adorable picture :)
