Avocado mashed up with avocado oil!

Great. Thanks. I found some more information online. http://www.inspection.gc.ca/animals/terrestrial-animals/imports/policies/live-animals/pets/rodents/eng/1331869343204/1331869905125 http://www.inspection.gc.ca/plants/imports/airs/eng/1300127512994/1300127627409# I ended up speaking with...

Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of anyone who has transported a rat from the US to Canada via New Brunswick. Curious to know if there were any issues driving the rat(s) across the border. Technically they do not require an exotic pet permit as Norway rats are permitted to cross but...

I just had one rat diagnosed with a pituitary tumor just last week. Her pupils were completely dilated, and she was showing some signs of eating difficulty. A few days later, her most notable symptom was eye bulging. This evening, I took a look at her sister and thought her eyes looked a bit...

This is great! I'll pass the information along. Thank you.

I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any good vets in Edmonton or Calgary who would see pet rats? Alberta is officially "rat free" so you're technically not allowed to have them as pets, which makes their access to medical care more limited. Please private message me if you are aware of...

Awesome! Thanks for the help.

I've got a pretty chunky 1.5 year old lady who is....670 grams :eek:. The vet suggested that I try to get her to lose weight but I'm not sure the best way to do this. I've read that cage layout really helps but I'm reluctant to remove the ramps because I fear she'll injure herself trying to get...

Awesome! Thanks :)

I was given lasix tablets for my rat with directions to give 1/20th of a tablet. I have crushed a tablet and am wondering how to mix it with something to get the dosing accurate. I'm just wondering what people typically suspend lasix in and whether it's stored in the fridge or not? Thanks!

As you can see here, he's very tentative about stealing her treats.

Thanks!! I'm so happy that they're all living together relatively peacefully. Anova and Lester definitely do not love each other, but they tolerate each other and SOMETIMES will even snuggle. She gives him a nasty side eye from time to time but he probably deserves it ;)

It finally happened!! I tried cleaning everything again and they're fine. Woop woop.

I elected to keep them separate over night. I decided to rewash everything this morning and try again. They seemed to be OK during the day, but possibly only because I was there monitoring and petting them whenever they came in contact with each other. However, this evening, Anova just lightly...

So, today was day 1 of supervised cage time with all of my girls and the new boy. He's really only problematic with my older girl (alpha of the three girls). They haven't had any issues on the couch, in the play room on the floor. Cage was scrubbed clean and decorated differently so my old lady...

Thanks for your post!!! Lester is definitely doing a lot better with the girls. Still working on intros, BUT, I think this weekend I'll try do the cage test with them all. I hope it goes well :)

Yeah, she's pretty lovely. When I did intros a year ago with two little new baby girls, she was absolutely fantastic! Lester has been a bit of a pest trying to establish his dominance as well. I'll get them meeting up together more! Thanks for the help!

Nope, no bite or gash. Anova is almost 3 years old and is suffering from HLD and some kind of PT symptoms. Needless to say, she's pretty old, and her bite strength isn't great right now (I suspect she's starting to regress a bit since the introduction of Prednisone). I was amazed that she could...

The couch isn't really technically neutral BUT the office does have both of their cages in it. During playtime, I remove his cage so he's less concerned about defending his territory. I guess I'll do more couch intros for longer periods of time and see if that helps. I'll check out...

I'm STILL doing intros with my newest boy and my elderly alpha girl. They had two good days of not really paying each other much mind. But today, I let them down to play and Anova takes a flying jump/bite at Lester. She had done that before earlier this week. It was followed by her trying...
