I want to Thank you guys for the supportaafter losing Xena. Recently I finally got a rat to be Merlin's companion She looks too much like Xena. He's been happier and more active. Like us, Merlin's had to take some time to open to her And her to us. I still feel like I'm betraying Xena. My...

Thank you everyone. I never imagined such a tiny creature could cause me to cry like a baby. I usually have this tough guy front But couldn't believe.it.thabk you all! I've gotten merkin a new companion. She looks like Xena. I named her Gabriele She's younger. I find myself a bit hesitant to...

Save them! I can't lol at the pic . Reminds me of my Xena She passed away yesterday. The one on the right has bronze color like her. They're amazing animals Beautifully spirited.

Xena passed away yesterday. She had a beautiful burial today. My roommate, who originally was opposed to having rats, fell in love with her. It's been sad and depressing here. Merlin is alone. He's big now. Peace, tranquility and love little baby girl Xena! Principessa Guerreria!

Merlin asleep on the couch. He many times has one eye at least open.

Noticed that. He will ni ne and lick me when I pet him. Tonight he fell asleep as I pet him. So cute.

The rat in the pic isn't Merlin.just a random rat. I couldn't take a picture so I uoaded one from Google to show what I meant.

Nº that's not him lol. Couldn't take a picture without waking him up. So I found one to show how it looked like.

I got nervous once I saw merlin curled up sleeping in a bowing position with head completely against the flat surface of the cage. I heard it's normal. He is doing well. Read and researched and found out they will sleep comfortably like that. And even hanging their head over a surface. I wasn't...

Rats are great climbers. But fear height if it feels insecure. . At least what I noticed about Merlin. Make sure the pouch doesn't suddenly sink in if they step onto it. Could give them a short sudden impression of sinking or falling in. But if you post a pic of the set up it'd be easier to see...

I had a wound. Merlin( he's bigger now wow! But healthy not fat. Great coat). He's a groomer. He has groomed my hair. I use 1821.is it safe? He also is amazing. I feel bad i got cranky with him after pain. But he kept going towards my wound. Trying to clean it. Nº he didn't touch it. Underneath...

Sorry just saw this. I'll seek it out.

Seems he's maturing. He's started to chew more. His toys he'll chew but not much. He's got into the leather couch. Thank goodness I caught him. I have chew treats but too soft for a rat. And he likes chewing rubber on the remote more than the toys. What would be best for his teeth to grind down...

Do they shed a bit going into 4 months and during winter? He seems healthy and happy. He has healthy colored paws and skin. Just checking to see if the shedding is normal. It's also winter now and cold during early mornings and nights. He has cloth and bedding. Never shivering. Heat is on at...

Thank you. Still learning a boy to their behavior. It's very cat like. But social like a dog.

He's about to be 3 months

Absolutely he will. Very soon. Yesterday he started to use tissues to nest. It was hilarious because he must've taken over 10 sheets and just kept on pulling them out.

I have one question my friend. Sometimes Merlin will just sit there. Relaxing staring at nothing much like a cat. Hell do it after eating to relax. But is it normal. His whiskers are slow or not exploring. He responds just fine to treats or when I go by the cage. Hell do it after running around...

I don't know why but he sleeps with that tail over him.

He is a good climber but thank goodness he can't climb plastic. I can't wait to get a buddy. Male one correct? And younger or same age?
