    My first ratties!

    I'm feeding them oxbow which is the best lab block imo available in stores near me. I'm going to get some formula. Hopefully it lasts me a bit since it's not cheap

    Its all I got for now haha The girls are quite small. They havent even tried to go up the ramp and they havent gone on top of the house. Is there a way to make the fleece absorbant? Should I put towel underneath it? Water drips occasionally from the bottle and it just sits on the fleece...

    HELP PLEASE! Identification and Care!

    You said you found this rat? Why would you take it? Wild rats are different from PET rats. They could have diseases, etc. I know you might have saw it distressed and wanted to help, but nature is nature and you shouldnt take something out of its habitat. Sick or not. Please dont try to...

    Breeders

    I know what you mean 2Rats. I actually got two male rats from a pet store back in the good ol 2005-2007. Between those years, I cant remember. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I was WAY to young to know how to properly take care of them and my parents didnt either. I forget what we fed them and what bedding we...

    Mold/Mildew in my dresser

    Yeah that is definitely in a worse scale than mine haha. This house has NO mold. From what I've seen. I'm assuming this is from my OLD house. But, like I said none of my other furniture had mold so I'm wondering if this mold grew when my sister has this dresser in her room. We've had this...
