    DFW Rat Rescue

    Mary Matthews DFW Rat Rescue www.dfwratrescue.org www.facebook.com/dfwratrescue [email protected] An excellent little rescue. I visited on-site about a week ago. The rats look great and the place is clean. She takes very great care of all of them. Just trying to get the word out as...

    Does anyone know if there are any rat owners having trouble from the hurricane? I would love to help by sending food or replacement items.

    JARRS (Just A Rat Rescue and Sanctuary)

    I think our North Texas rescue needs its own thread. This is Lucy. She is if unknown age but is old. She has a couple of small mammary tumours and suffers from PT. She has an insane zest for life though! We don't know her background because she was abandoned alone in a box outside a...

    Surrogate mom

    I have had a rescue mom with 4 little ones for 2 days. Another rat from the rescue just had a litter of 23! I am taking 4 but I would like some advice for introducing them to the surrogate mom. Of course if she refuses then I will take them back to their birth mom.

    Sheldon's furbabies

    Ok so I am posting way too often in the random picture thread. I figured it was time to have a thread for my gang. For starters, it was Sheldon's 1st birthday today. She was my original rat. She had a blast and even shared her cake! Yes...it was real cake but a very tiny piece. She loved it!!

    PT and making decisions

    I could not find an active thread that was specific to discussing PT. None of my rat's have it because they are too young right now but it has been bothering me how many people have threads about their rats that suffer from this. As such I have read many of them and gathered a lot of data...

    Vibrating and growling.

    Ok so many of you know of Penny's aggression issues of late. I noticed something interesting (albeit probably unacceptable) tonight when she was all puffy and hissy over Raj's smell. She would vibrate, which I know a lot of people have seen, but if I had my ear pressed against the pillow or...

    Sheldon suddenly spazing and seemingly in pain.

    Ugh. What is going on in my colony lately? I have never had so many problems! Ok I have an idea what this is but I don't want to say it out loud until I've heard other opinions. On Saturday at some point Sheldon began acting very strangely. She will whip around suddenly and squeal as if in...

    Bunny-sitting: poop question.

    I am sitting a friend's bunny while she is on vacation for a week. His poo is too soft and quite foul smelling. He is on a mix for diet which I don't imagine is good for any species. What deficiencies or surpluses exactly could cause this? He has a great coat and no apparent health issues.

    Intros=lots of scratches and a scared newbie

    I am putting this into its own thread since I have bebopped around looking for answers. I have had the same 5 rats since March, when intros went fine. As of now my rat's are 10, 9, 9, 9, & 7 months. A couple of weeks ago I got 2 new hairless rats (already quarantined) and so after a few days...

    Weird cud regurgitation?

    Ok seriously these are gross. When I give baby food sometimes my guys will work up a more solid piece like this. Like they sucked a lot of the moisture out and then yucked it back out like a snake. They leave them in lovely places like carpet, bed sheets, clothes, etc. Anyone else get this?

    Rat hoarding North Texas-need help

    Hey all. I know we are all stretched to our limits but I am calling out on behalf of some ratties in need that were rescued a few days ago from a hoarding situation. The person who put them in this situation was feeding them (as well as many other animals) cat food and keeping them concentrated...

    Wall of shame

    They do it for dogs all the time. Why not rats too? I am dedicating this thread to all the little things our furbabies get away with. Amy helping me take the infernal foot suffocators off: Sent from my KFTT using Tapatalk 2

    Sheldon

    Sheldon is my first ever rat and my best rat buddy. She loves paper bags and has a jealous side. When she is out, I am hers and no one else is allowed on me while she is looking (according to her). She loves licking my face because I can't seem to clean it right myself.

    Wound example pictures

    I thought it might be a good idea to have a thread where we post pictures of wounds that have been specifically identified. This way others can compare and get a good idea of what they might be dealing with if they have an unidentified wound on their rat. STERILE ABSCESS from a retained...
