I thought bring six rats to meet one would be too overwhelming, and i didnt want a full rat brawl. But of thats the best way to do it. So i should have it completely bare

So all together i have 3 cages, and im hoping they will all be together in the main big cage, within a few months

I have six rats in my Colony all female, all a around a year old. I just rescue 2 girls under a year, plus the new girl which I think is around a year and a quarter. When I did the intros I put three of my girls in with the new one it was a lot of puffing fur so I took the ones puffed-up out...

I want to know that I keep rats and care sent me a link to a listing on Craigslist of a rat that was left during a breakup. It said that if no one came and got it it was going to be going to the shelter. Even though I wasn't looking for a new rat I had to take it I felt like someone who was...

I got super stressed, cause it was right by her eye. And when i went to clean the blood off with a qtip, i saw it was a whole hunk of skin that was basically detached.

Thanks for the reply, i was so scared when it happened she looked so much worse in person then the pic can convey. So i learned quick not to put anything on it(after the initial application), so when i got home from work flush the wound with sterile saline. And this morning it looks as if it...

Two of my girls got in a fight this morning, and one of them came out with a pretty bad wound on her eye. They have spats all the time but never actual wounds. When I noticed the fight I separated them then I saw the blood. I took her out, treated with peroxide and put Neosporin on it. I...

Im by no means a all knowing pet owner, but www.ratguide.com/meds(the put invermectin in the search). And it willgive you exact dosing(it is super small, and has to be done multiple times). Ive gone through this same thing and when the mites didnt go away after a 3 week dosing(once a week for 3...

One of my female rats I believe she is just a little over a year old has developed a tumor about 4 weeks ago. Already it's the size of an egg, two weeks after discovering it I took her to the vet. Just the office visit alone was $80 they told me if I had her tumor removed more than likely it...

So on the rat guide it says the difference between the dog and cat revolution is potency. Can i take a dog one and dilute it down to the cat potency?

I feel like I offended people, I'm sorry about that. Was not my intention!

Its definitely not a meal! Just a once a week treat. 2-5 worms a piece. I know a lot of people feed mealworms as a occasionally treat. It brings out their predatory instincts, and really enjoy it. But I do agree that it should not be their daily diet.

My girls absolutely love the weekly worm treat time we have, they go crazy for the wax worm especially! Petco has been out of the worm selection for a few weeks now, so I've found a nice online vendor. But they have such a huge selection, that I'm thinking of trying some new worms out. I'm...

I actually have the pet finder website alert me when rescue rat get put up for adoption, I haven't been able to find any in my area yet, but I keep my eye out for them. When I moved out of my studio into a real apartment, I plan to have a rat room with enough space to foster as many as possible

Thanks for telling me. I went to another forum post with the same question. And their dose was for a 600gram rat. So I cut that dose in half, but than got your answer so I switched to what you told me. Is my rat going to ok? She took that dose for at least 2 days

Yeah, I got her from a freeder breeder turner HORRIBLE pet rat breeder(I was impatient and stupid, I hadn't had a rat in 12 yrs),won't make that mistake again. One out of two came with a with a URI. I started her on amox because it didn't seem that bad. Then about a week ago I was giving them a...

Thanks for letting me know about the higher risk of health issues

I just got my baytril that I got off a bird site, linked from a rat site. Its 10% My rat that needs it weighs 290 grams(actually 289). I'm wondering how much to dose. I think I read to mix 1ml with 3ml water, if that's right I don't know where to go from there.

I've found a hairless breeder in my area and I'm thinking about expanding my mischief. What I'm wondering is the care of a hairless ALOT different the rats with a coat? Are there things I should know? Precautions?any extra habitat things I need to check and adjust for a hairless? P.S. are...
