    Cole fell asleep with a pea in his mouth

    He nodded off momentarily with a pea in his mouth. If you look closely you can just about see it. Then woke up because I couldn't help but fuss him! He looks like he's got 'bed hair' LOL

    My first DCN. Rats are like.. ?? I need some tips

    Hi everyone, Although my boys (aged a year and a half) have had a lovely big cage throughout their lives, it's not really ideal for older rats and mine are getting older now. I couldn't afford a DCN before as they are more expensive here in the UK I think, and they are hard to get hold of...

    Desperately need advice - Dawson acting strange

    I'll take him to the vets tomorrow. They're closed. I'm paralysed with fear. Dawson is 13 months old. He's eating and drinking but acting very strange. He hasn't come out of his bed all day and when I hit him out, he's disorientated. He's barely moving but looking around as if he can't...

    Itchy ears?

    Hi all, Cole keeps shaking his head whenever I stroke him there. It's a very quick shake, as if he's got an itch. He lives with his 3 brothers. If I touch his left ear, he does a violent head shake/twitch, but doesn't scratch it. If I stroke his head when he's sleepy, he doesn't do the...

    Food for thought - Help for Rats with cardiac issues

    Hi everyone, I've possibly found some useful info for rats with heart issues. And also rats that are overweight and enjoy their 'fuds' more than the others lol. Porridge oats! Oats lower cholesterol, acting like a fat soaking sponge in the system, and regulate blood sugar. The only...

    River vs a packet of pumpkin seeds!

    I had to post this. River went to great efforts to bust into this packet of pumpkin seeds - he sure loves his fuds! In one picture, he's reaching in and it just looks so funny!

    Rant about the vets and question about dosage for Metacam

    I haven't been to the vets for a while for respiratory issues and I always come away unsettled, not to mention broke! Dawson is 11 months old. He began making slight quacking noises a few days ago. They aren't constant, they were sporadic, but enough to make me take him to the vets for some...

    Anyone seen Mikey the rat on youtube? A remarkable boy!

    I have swooned over this gorgeous boy for a while and I was wondering if anyone had heard of Mikey the rat. He's such a special, very amazing little rat. I've never seen anything quite like him to be honest :love4: This is the most affectionate, most soppiest rat i've ever seen and I had to...

    Found a solid black whisker - who's is it?

    I can only ask a question like this to folk that will understand! Spring cleaning today, I found a black whisker. I know it's a rat whisker. I've had many fur babes the past few years of a variety of colours. The four boys I have now, all have white whiskers. So I was trying to rack my...

    I think Dawson's testicle are swollen - Pics attached, help!

    Something was 'off' about Dawson yesterday. You know the kind - a very vague sense that he wasn't quite right. He was walking a little funny and later on, I observed he couldn't clean out his right ear with his back leg. He couldn't quite lift it. It's very hot here in England at the...

    Does your fuzzy have a cute favorite spot to hang out?

    Dawson just loves to chill out at the end of my bed. He is often just laying out on the wood at the foot of the bed. It's so cute. I took a couple of pics of him over several days of him doing this. Does anyone else's rattie's have a funny little hang-out place?

    Weird one - Is Bennett a hermaphrodite?

    Ok, I really haven't heard of this before and I'd really appreciate any advice! I have to ask. January, I adopted 4 lovely 3 month old boys from a sanctuary. One boy was very small (possibly the runt) and noticeably stressed, reluctant to be picked up, very afraid and began (albeit gently)...
