My rat Zeke turned two in july and is now at the stage of a PT where he is having a lot difficulty holding food and acting very confused when i offer him baby food, and i need to keep redirecting him to it so he will eat it. He is currently recovering from a resp infection too and has lost...

I run a rat/personal blog about my six boys :) I'm noodlebutts.tumblr.com (cause they have noodles on their butts heh)

My rat Quicksilver had something there and when he had a needle aspiration all the vet got was blood, and during surgery she found a very undefined mass but it wasn't a ZGT and yours is even more forward than his is :) We will all cross our fingers (and tails) for a simple abscess!

I did another intro today and everyone was fine except jasper. I mean they postured and puffed but thats standard for intro. I'm not sure how Jasper did because he fell off a level in his cage and his foot is swollen and painful so he sat on my lap or behind the toilet mostly. (He got advil...

Well I tried the bare play area tonight and it was interesting. Most of the rats got along fine (slightly more puffing and sniffing but no fights) but Puffin and Jasper still didn't get along. They were 'okay' standing off until Puffin runs away and then Jasper chases him. Some fur flew, and...

That's where I am. I've been doing it for more than two weeks for as long as possible each night. There haven't been many fights, but The young male hasn't relaxed at all and the dominate male still reacts to him.

I've been doing intros with my boys for a while now and I'm not getting anywhere. I have two groups (three adults only one intact who is jasper and two younger intact rats of which puffin is fourish months old) and most of them get along fine in neutral territory, but Jasper and Puffin have kind...

Thank you! Its so different reading about all of this and actually doing it. Especially with a rat that isn't super fond of hands yet! Here are the two new boys :)

I did an intro in the tub today with yummies and vanilla on their balls (or lack thereof) and backs and I think it went really well? There were no fights (no fights in the water either, just lots of humping which I think is more rude then mean :P) and maybe only three staring contests, though my...

I tried the baby and the big neutered boys early, I knew they would be fine with the baby. I did wait for longer with my intact male, but he is fine with the baby too. I'm doing intros in the tub right now with a little water, what should I look for so I know when to move to the next step?

So I recently picked up two new rats, one was a baby and the other was about three months old (though he is the same size as the adults). The baby I have had no problem having around my one year olds for out time, I haven't tried to put them in the same cage yet because the baby could squeeze...

#136 - the last second head shake that has ruined many cute pictures #137 - turd photobombers

It got warm out and I think I have achived one of my cutest rat pics yet!

These are all so amazing XD I found some more good ones too!!

I'm sure we all have a few shots that make us laugh every time we see them because of our wonderful timing :P Here are a few of mine!

I found two more from when Logan was a baby (before his snip lol)! The second one isn't a good ball shot but if you look closely THERE IS A TURD PEAKING OUT HIS BUM!! What timing right?

110. When you go to smooch a cute little boy on the head and get a mouthful of pee because your dominate boy just peed on his head....... so you switch to his belly XD 111. When you get marked and use the offending rat to wipe the pee off your arm

Thank you everyone for saying the nice things <3 And thank you Sheldon for drawing my boy!! I love it so much :D He was super special. Definitely one of those rats that sneak quietly into your heart. I'm just glad his brother and friends are okay and not stressed by his passing.

Quicksilver ~ March 11 2013 - April 30 2014 I don&#8217;t really know where to start this. Quicksilver was a very quiet rat, and a lot of the time he got passed over for bouncy Logan, kissy Jasper or sweetie Greyson. He never complained, never started a fight (though he got picked on a bit...
