So after nearly knocking my knee out of socket during a mass deep clean, curling into the corner and crying, and being consoled by rats who would rather attempt to shove their faces in the ivermectin box than understand im trying to help them.... I'm going with revo. screw it. BUT I don't...

Hello hi! I just got my ivermectin, getting ready to treat the b(rats) but ... I thought it was a white paste??? It's like a yellow-clearish gel.. is that right? It's the iverchoice 1.87%

Tyty! Ahhgosh it's so rude! I was so excited to get free apple branches that it just slipped my mind. Also question- is ivermectin given orally or topically? I've never dealt with it before :(

Lol I've heard that quite a bit about Debbie- I decided to go with iver. Its been used thousands of times and a few doses of iver to get rid of mites is worth my time vs. a one time dose of something that's not been tested on ratties (I thought the first links were mice + rats. But it was rat...

http://www.ratfanclub.org/skin.html here :) They even show it working on mites after 1 dose and here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18155360 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2654009/

Hey everyone- long time no chat. I wont go into details but I have about 17 ratties now and did something stupid. I didn't freeze branches I gave them. Guess who now has 17 rats... With mites. So I was reading and found moxidectin? One dose vs 3 doses by iver that MAYBE works? Has...

Okay weird question. Abel gets REALLY excited over simple things like new pieces of fabric/new hammocks. And when she gets all excited, she starts breathing really quickly and makes the wet breathing noise. Thinking I had a sick rat on my hands, I did a lung check when she was calm... Nothing...

Oh! Oh fantastic. She had a phantom pregnancy not two months ago and these poor new girls are getting the butt of it lmbo!

Okay I tried again. No fighting no squeaking everyone gets along great... Except Delilah keeps dragging the other rats! Sheisn't scruffing now, she'll grab onto limbs, skin, anything. And she doesn't break skin, the other rats don't even look like they're being hurt (They try to walk away, but...

Ahh! Alright sounds good. Wish me luck! This poor girl hasn't had a cage buddy since october so she should be happy!

Eleanor and Able are 5-6 months old. And yep! No naughty bits on this girl :P

I got my new babies today! I tried for a quick meet-and-greet but something weird happened... Introduction questions ahoy! Alright so I'm introducing my two new girls (Eleanor and Able) to my old girl (Delilah) When I did intros, I had them on my bed. Able and Delilah were fine...

Alrighty so! I made this post on another forum, but I may need some extra help. My delilah is going through a Phantom Pregnancy. Her stomach is HUGE. She's grooming, nesting, hoarding food, her (Nipples? teats? Lil' ratty bits?) are showing A LOT more. She's actually acting pregnant...

I'm so excited! After a very long while of not having more than one rat, we are going to look at a couple babies! Just a couple, though! I'm ecstatic! We'll hopefully be going the week after next. Which gives me plenty of time to make some more hammocks for the quarantine cage! :DD

Lil' update on "Munchkin". We're suppose to be getting 5 inches of snow tomorrow and I still have little one. He/she already knows how to drink out of a waterbottle and I think I may have spoiled it a bit TOO much. I swear he's put on a couple of grams :P. If it warms back up soon, I found the...

Okay, didn't know where to post this. First off, lookat it: Second off: Questions. I PLANNED on releasing the little dude... But, I was going to do so far away from our house. And at first I didn't care- after all, wild mouse, righ? but then I saw the weather. We're suppose to get...

Victoria: I heard total cereal wasn't good for rats, so that's why I left it out. This, of course, came from a facebook group and might be the bane of every ones existence lol. We decided we're going to order a small bag of Labblocks and see how long it lasts them (I believe its called a...

I understand that a Lab Block may offer all of the important diet staples (vitamins/minerals) but it's got to be boring to just eat that? In the wild rats eat hundreds of things with different tastes and textures. It keeps them entertained and healthy just the same. So that's why I'm wondering...

Sorry it wasn't oxbow, it was HT. And paying 23 dollars for 10 pounds of food seemed ridiculous. Also I got the recipe thing from this website: http://www.ratsrule.com/diet.html And it says with veggies and such that everything would be fine for them, so that's why I'm confused? and isn't HT...

Howdy! I want to make my own rat mix from now on. I was going to go with Oxbow, but shipping went up recently and now to ship 10 pounds of food it would cost 13 dollars. Fantastic, right?! So, instead of getting 20 dollars worth of rat food and getting maybe two months out of it, I want to...
