Yea any sort of bag or plastic rustling and they come running. Think it's chips or something

SqueakingJ The concentration of citrus there is so minimal it shouldn't be an issue

SQ that's exactly what my grandfather said! Hahaha!! The other two don't get nearly as excited over food as Buck does... Which might be why he's so damn big. But I was just so amazed that he figured out the association between bell and food!

So every time I give the rats treats or add food to their dish I ring this little bell that hangs in their cage. The other day my gf had just finished baking chocolate chip cookies and we were sitting down watching TV and eating them. Then I hear the bell ringing in the other room. It would...

Is there something comparable to this in the U.S.? Thinking about switching from fleece as we currently do not have a washer/dryer and I don't want to bring gross rat fleece to the laundry mat... Was considering carefresh or exquisicat but I like this idea

I would think the caffeine in dark chocolate would have a positive effect on respiratory distress. But thank you guys for the information

Saw this on Facebook. Was wondering if this is valid? It's an interesting idea. Didn't know dark chocolate was supposed to help?

I fuss at her for the bopping. she's just afraid he's gonna really hurt Sweet Pea or Buck when he starts acting up... Thank you for the advice jorats. We will try that. That's what I figured the issue was

Nothing has really changed much... I mean we are packing for a move... But nothing really has changed in or around their cage. They had just all gotten treats. And Peter was laying under his hutch and Buck was at the front getting petted by my gf. And then Peter just ran out and bit her. Hard...

He's been neutered for probably almost 2 months now

So on top of all the issues with him and Sweet Pea and him biting fingers being stuck in the cage bars. He's now taking up biting my girlfriend whenever she is petting another rat... He doesn't do anything like that to me... I mean he could just not like her cuz she bops him in the head when...

More hammocks. Got it! :)

Thank you Joanne. I think she can still see a little bit cuz she knows where I am in a room. But I think all she is seeing is probably blurry shapes. And she can't perceive distance... She ran full force into my leg yesterday when she was out for play time. As soon as I finish my school work...

So Sweet Pea is my female PEW. Probably about a year old now. And she's never been able to see very well. But I think she's gone almost completely blind at this point.... Today my girlfriend watched her walk about 2 or 3 times off the ledge in her cage. Where she walks off there is a lava ledge...

Thanks guys! :)

I'm thinking about switching the rats from Oxbow to HT. Hoping it will maybe help Buck lose a little weight... But I have no idea where a safe place to buy it from is. Thoughts?

Thank you jorats! That makes me feel much better. Yea my gf and I are the only ones that interact with them. They're in our room. And both of us were gone. So I'm thinking it was the stress. They keep having dominance issues. But I think it's just Peter and his age. And yea I think he's only...

He bit her and broke the skin. Drew a little blood. But not murder scene blood... Thank you dspch911 you've made me feel a lot better! I've never had this issue before. And I wasn't sure how to handle it.

I don't want to have to give him back to the rescue I got him from. But I can't have him hurting my other two. Please someone help me...
