I'm plenty happy with my rat's current diet (and he's been on it for most of his life so I'm not going to switch it up on him), but I was browsing around on the internet for info about rat longevity. I've read the thread on here about everyone's oldest ratties, and the theories about how rats'...

My old PEW, Mario, isn't getting around as well as he used to. Because of this, he can't reach all the way back to get at his upper back, around his shoulder blades. He also has a problem with dry skin. I was informed of this by the place I adopted him from a couple years ago. Usually, this...

Wow, it has been awhile since I've been back on the forum! Unfortunately, I'm back in need of some health advice. I thought my two rescue boys had dermatitis that they were healing from; that's what the rescue told me. See that thread for background here...

One of my boys, Mario, is making this very odd noise. I've heard it about four times now, like a sneeze or even a squeak, but louder and with a sort of "squelchy" sound. I've seen him open his mouth wide and stick his tongue out like he's yawning, but his back was arched up a little bit and his...

My little sister adopted a couple of mice two weeks ago, and when I saw one of them I thought she looked a little... chubby. Her nipples were pretty clear too, so I thought maybe she was pregnant. But fifteen days passed and she only got a teeny bit bigger (maybe because of a better diet), so I...

When I adopted my new boys, I was informed of two things: 1) They, their mom, and all of their siblings are very sneezy, have a habit of sneezing more when they were nervous, were treated with antibiotics, were cleared by a vet of any infection or anything. (I'm just giving medical background...

I just rescued my two PEW boys, Angus and Mario, yesterday. They're still brand new, so it's natural that they aren't acclimated or settled in yet. In terms of interaction, all I've done is leave the cage doors open while I chill in front of it and pass them the occasional treat. Both of them...

After a three hour drive to Maryland, my West Side Highway boys from Luna's House are home! Luna's House is a lovely rescue; the second we got there they were warm, friendly, and happy to speak with us! The boys' foster mom was also wonderful; she's done such a nice job with the boys, their...

I just ordered some adorable fleeces off of Amazon, a pastel blue Sputnik, and some of those super absorbent U-Haul furniture pads! (okay that last one is a little less cute, but it's meant for soaking up pee lol) Plus, last night I ordered some custom hammocks from The Pack Rat, and I'm...

I'm currently doing an intensive clean of my CN, and it occurred to me to double check with the all-knowing, all-powerful RatShack to make sure I was doing it right. I started with only warm water and paper towels, but that just isn't efficient enough for one particularly dirty corner (I can...

I tried to start one of these on goosemoose, but it didn't exactly take off :lol: I feel like PEWs are little unappreciated by the rest of the world; those ruby-red eyes that I find so endearing are seen as odd and off-putting (for some reason). So let's have a PEW appreciation thread...

I always preferred using fleece, but I would lay a towel or something down underneath the fleece. I never had any issues with my girls swallowing towel bits or getting stuck in the towel or anything, but I've heard some true horror stories. Maybe I was just lucky, even though they really did...

I mean bin cage as a travel cage not as a permanent residence. Any ratties of mine will be put up in the CN long term. However, does a bin cage make a good travel cage? Especially for long travel. Like potentially 3 hours? It seems better than a cat carrier because of the size, and much cheaper...

Getting more rats is something that I've been considering recently because more of my time is free, and I genuinely miss having them around (more than I realized). I've only ever had girls before, and I know they often suffer from tumors (both of my previous ladies did), and that spaying can...

Hi, everybody! :wave: I'm Olivia; I used to have an account on here under 'gawgeouspaws', but since it's been so long I figured I'd start afresh. Pretty much everything you need to know about me is in my profile, but to sum it up I'm a student and aspiring journalist with a passion for writing...
