    Lonely female needs a home in Barrie ON

    Hello everyone, I had three females living together. One passed of old age in November and the second passed last week. I have a lonely female who is about 2years old. I was not personally planning on bringing home another rat but she is very depressed. She sleeps all day and begs for my...

    Horrible Chronic Lung Infection. What should I do?

    Hello Everyone! The rescued pregnant female I took in a year ago who safely delivered her single baby is now terribly sick :( I've taken her to the Vet numerous times but nothing we prescribe her has been working. When she tried to sleep with her head tucked under herself, her breathing...

    Facial Abscess

    I once decided to keep a lone rat and he developed recurring abscess under his chin, basically on his throat. It didn't matter what sort of antibiotics, special diets, or ointments were applied; with the consultation of my vet, his abbesses would just keep coming back. My Vet said it was the...

    OT ... looking for albino bunny

    I am located in Barrie. I do not have an albino bunny but I have a rescued female who's white with blue eyes. She's quite the character and loves coming up to her cage bars to greet you as you walk by. She doesn't bite at all and will give you 'kisses' up your arm. Let me know if you're located...

    Oxbow Play yard habitat

    Depending on how young your male rats are, they shouldn't be small enough to fit through the spacing once matured. You could just have nothing inside the cage and put your boys in for a bit to play and see what they do. They'll be able to climb up the side of the cage and over that fence though.

    Introducing nursing mom to other rats

    If she is biting at you then she will bite at your other females. She's instinctively protecting her young and introducing her to unknown rats could be one messy fight. I would wait for introductions once Momma has all her babies weaned off and rehomed. If she's curious of them now, she'll be...

    baby rat behaviour

    Having experience with a pregnant rat and her baby, it sounds to me as if she's younger than 5 weeks. My rat's kit didn't begin to be hyper until she was close to four weeks of age. She would be all cuddly and chill before that age. Is it possible for you to post a picture? If she is 5 weeks...

    what to do with recurring abscesses

    I owned a male rat who had a constant, reoccurring abscess on his throat. He lived his entire lifespan of three years with it. It would swell up, pop & bleed, scab over, and then appear as if it was gone but it would always come back. Our Vet said the best thing to do is to just let it do what...

    My rat got into some green tea...

    He will be perfectly fine. Green Tea has a very minimal amount of caffeine in it and is too subtle to do any harm to him. If he were to drink an entire mug then I'm sure that would cause the situation to be harmful for him as he has obviously overdosed on it. If it were Coffee then you would...

    help with babies

    It's extremely common for female rats with kits to change personalities. Especially since she doesn't exactly know you. She's only protecting her kits because instincts are telling her to. It'd be the same if you were to have a baby and some stranger just picked your baby up without even...
