Thank you!! Hopefully after getting rid of them she will calm down She's having out time right now (just me and her) and she's not trying to chew on anything or anything but she keeps walking up and trying to bite me. Which is already an improvement because she could tear me up easily and she...

Does anyone know what mites does to a rat when left untreated? I have a theory that maybe the mites have been causing such distress to my little rescue Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Sorry for the late response everyone, I've been busy needless to say (x I have a vet appointment for 6 ratties (all at the same time - yikes!) on Monday, one of which just got neutered yesterday, so hopefully we'll nip this one in the bud. Only Two out of four of the cages use bedding (the...

I just picked up two new females and bathed everyone and everyone met in the bathtub and everyone was fine then and in the bathroom but as soon as everyone went in the cage my two original girls got mean. I cleaned their cage beforehand and everything. The hammock was even taken out Should I let...

Oh no, I appreciate the concern! She's actually got smooth fur. And she was all alone with almost no human interaction either so I'm thinking mites or malnutrition as well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

She actually allowed me closer to her (obviously the lady I got her from doesn't know the meaning of "aggressive") and I noticed two or three tiny scabs. I want to treat her for mites before going to the vet and see where that takes us because I read somewhere that the skin scraping the vet does...

I noticed the area around the back of her neck/head area is lacking a little fur. I don't plan on putting her with my girls for a while, considering she hasn't been socialized and could hurt my babies, but I am now concerned about whether I should take her to the vet or not. Does this look...

Some of you may have been involved with that topic but my Bubbles (unneutered male) beat up my Roy (unneutered male) and he got a pretty large gash. It's been about two weeks now and his neck wound is about 90% healed so I went ahead and washed both of the boys (separate) and put them in the...

It seems lately all the people I were going to go to are on hiatus ): (ie. Petunia and Chelsey's Cozies) Where can I get my first custom hammock(s) right now? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

The plan was actually to get a double nation and do just that. Good to see I'm doing the right thing with neutering (: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

I just read something on another thread and I do have my un-spayed females' cage beside the males'. Does anyone think the hormones from that would have caused this? Bubbles doesn't bite people (he has bit me before but when I was rough hand wrestling him so I deserved it) Sent from my iPhone...

Well I actually put Roy, the injured one, in a reptile tank with all his necessities and even his favorite bed. So he's been away from the scene of the crime since it happened. His gashes are really big though (I'm hesitating posting pictures because its kind of gross) so I don't want to bring...

I've actually never heard of that! It's a great idea but really not comfortable yet putting the boys near each other. I'll definitely try that though, thank you! Is it normal for a wounded rat to be really sleepy, by the way? Right after the sun sets everyone gets hyper and ready for playtime...

I'm a first time rat owner (with 4 rats - already) and not as active on here as I wish I could be but man, every time I have a crisis there's always someone to calm me down and explain things. This forum is the best. Thank you all for being awesome Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

And as for the neutering, I'm calling tomorrow. Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Uh oh. I flushed the cuts out but I did put ointment on it. Should I be worried since I only did it once? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Oh my goodness I'm melting at all the adorable pictures! I have some (: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free

Well he just got a few cuts from his cage mate but beforehand he slowed down. Like not "spazzy" like he was before. Doesn't always accept treats from me, either. Which is out of the ordinary. And he's pretty clumsy but I'm not sure I would count that as being unbalanced? Especially seeing he's...
