    Thankyou for the reminder that I'm getting old (Senior Member), but after almost 22 years of having ratties I'm aware of it every time I put the cage & it's accoutrements in the tub and bend over to scrub them 😧 I guess the cat's out of the bag (or the rat out of the cage) in spite of my using...

I Hope everyone already knows, but just in case...

    I'm 60 yrs old, had ratties for 20 yrs, and still can't out-think a year-old rat.

    My Fry has a tube I hook up to his cage-shelf in the bedroom when I get up in the morning. It goes around the corner into a cage in the living room, there's a board in the bedroom doorway so he can't escape the bedroom if he should fall off the shelf in there, as his cages are always left open...

    Mixing Doxy

    I've always mixed a 2 wk supply with water initially, then added flavor when I give it (as not every kid likes the same flavor). I was at the vet yesterday and she told me that the batch may not stay as stable if I mix it with water as it would if I mixed it with something sweet? Has anyone...

He is Terrified of other boys, I have intro experience and I've tried him with 5 other boys but his fear is beyond normal and incites even the most mellow to aggression. But he LOVES girls (tho he's never even attempted to love them THAT way in his short...

    Thankyou TheRatShack for sending birthday wishes to me.

    I'm grateful, but feeling a little selfish for that, it's all my critters that should get that so-deserved recognition, and I haven't been posting so they don't.. I don't have a birthday cake to share with them but all are getting both a chocolate chip and half a chocolate Goldfish tonight...

    Our dead critter's bodies.

    I just posted an ad on UsedVictoria (I live in Victoria), I know everyone loves their babies (no more than I love mine) but please try to consider this with an open mind, certainly not when you're grieving, but maybe when you see an ad for feeders? I've asked that when I die my body be used to...

    Pregnant mom got distrusting, nasty & bitey

    My Serene has always been a bit wild, an escape artist, but was always gentle with me. She escaped the bedroom and got in with boy rats I was critter-sitting in the living room (and nobody can judge or criticise me more harshly than I've been doing myself, believe me!) The babies are almost 4...
