Thanks jorats, your responses on this forum have led me to deciding to go ahead with Baytril for my little boy.

Thank you!!

Hey all, I decided to start a new thread with a more specific title as I'd like a response asap--I've tentatively decided to go ahead with the baytril for my 2 month old rattie who is sneezing and has raspy breathing (although if I receive impassioned opinions against this I'm open to hearing...

Hmm, I'm noticing ratguide says it's not recommended but previous and similar threads have member jorats recommending it...

Yeah, either take out the grate or use linoleum tiles or something similar that is easy to just wipe down. Honestly carpet sounds HORRENDOUS to clean, especially if it's plush/thick.

So I have two rats and a mouse. The ratties are maybe 6-8 weeks while the mouse is a year and a half. Unfortunately my mouse came down with respiratory issues and I spent my emergency vet fund getting him proper care. None of the medications have worked and his quality of life is really poor so...

If he's in that much pain can you get him to the vet sooner?

Hello fellow Ottawa-dweller! What a cute trio <3

True say, pardon moi :)

Honestly I've always had excellent results with diametaceous earth. Just make sure not to let them inhale the dust.

Yes rat fever is real! Congratulations and enjoy getting to know their sweet little personalities. Ps, I'm thinking he's blue agouti (http://www.afrma.org/rataoc.htm#blueag)

They get so gross if you don't cover them, trust. Honestly I gave up on fleece, got a cement mixing bin, trimmed on of its edges and it fits perfect in the CN (). Changing litter is so much easier than doing a load of laundry for me, as well. In terms of levels, shelves and ledges and ropes and...

Nothing like a big comfy sweater for safety!

Gorgeous either way. He deserves a friend ;)

Oh that update was so lovely to read! This little one is lucky to have you.

Sigh, I learned the hard way when I was handraising a wee mousie to feed it slooooow. Poor little one didn't make it after displaying similar symptoms :( Hope your little tyke pulls through!

I've handraised two mice, one didn't make it. It's common enough, so it makes sense for someone to be worried for this little one's welfare. Acting like a fool afterwards makes little sense. If you want a thread on rat antics, make one specifically for rat antics. Being unprepared to raise an...

She's no older than two months, not sure exact age. Is it normal for the hair to grow back in? There's still a slight demarcation line but for the most part the 'shaved cape' is filling in. Will she molt again? https://s28.postimg.org/4dkjpgrz1/20170823_162421.jpg...

How can you tell if she has rex in her? What is rex? She's in my hoodie now, resting after a photo session. What a lamb. resting in the hoodie https://s2.postimg.org/83m8y1xpl/20170818_154604.jpg adventuring in the land of bed https://s2.postimg.org/jeowmf4kp/20170819_080300.jpg...

I find the fact that it looks like someone took a razor to her and forgot to finish very endearing. It's like a reverse cape haha. So far she hops out of the cage onto my hands with some confidence in her step. She's very curious and zooms around the land of bed like she owns it. Here are some...
