I do not think i ever herd of drops only for inner ear infection for rats. Oh this is the first i hear of this :o ill keep a look out when adopting new guys.

to me the martin's look better thinking about bar spacing. And it's not their forever cage so it should work out. How long will they be in there?

:) most vets say to do that not thinking it can mess up once you try and re intro them back to the clan. But one good thing is females are usually easier to intro back then males. I wish healing vibes your way :)

or at least isolate her with her sister so at least shes with her. You just may have to do intros with them again in time with your other rats.

Oh that should help <3 I think she will get use to the cage if she has to live with that the rest of her life she will get accustom to her environment. But if you do see her falling way too much then maybe try finding another cage with slightly less levels and i guess put her with at least her...

are you asking about him swaying back and forth? If so it's to help him see better he may have a hard time seeing. Usually rats with red eyes do that. He looks ok to me in the videos

Also Baytril should not be used for rats under 3 months of age from what i read so it may need something else, maybe Doxycycline instead. i am hoping lilspaz68 will comment more. And if it is indeed head tilt the sooner you treat you may get rid of the tilting and spinning but sometimes that...

it will stress them more if you isolate them and even worse when you put her back you may need to do intros again because they will forget who their partner was even if they were sisters. It looks to me also like ear infection, i think you can not see that by just looking in the ears. here is...

Aw perfect we have some of those at our local petsmart :D not thrilled to shop there so i may just look on amazon first. I dislike supplying pet stores who sell pets for money :( I am just helping to in the long run.

Also i think if they did seperate for long they may fight not knowing it was his brother. I am sl glad they are back together :)

here is a link from oxbow on places in NZ that sells oxbow i would call ahead to be sure they have rat food just in case or if they can order it for you since they have some oxbow items like vet clinics should be able to order it for you...

also make sure not to stop them from eating their poop

they are cuties <3

i would not separate them it would just stress the lone one out more. As for meds i just hold them and put the syringe in mouth and squirt in. Some maybe eat it off bread if you put it on bread and the bread soaks in it but some may not being they smell the meds right in it.

its normal for them to do. You do not see them doing it much but like rabbits they do it too...

I was looking at this one https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0002DJWB8/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&psc=1

As to the food your feeding im not sure what that is(if a homemade diet it could be they are choosing what they want to eat out of it) most of us feed oxbow being its a all in one food for them. If you can i see your in NZ try and find a place that sells oxbow?

normal poop would be firm brown/dark brown. If mushie cut back a bit on the veggies and fruits to see if that helps.

a link to make your own saline Home made sterile saline solution Hairless or double rex(what they really are called) are notorious for getting abscesses. Haired rats can get them as well but hairless get them more often.
