Hi all, I have a 7-9 week old female rat named Cheerio that needs rehoming. She's super sweet and smart! She loves cheerios, hence her name, and will take treats out of hands gently. I'd love her to go to a home with other girls as it is just her currently. She is not yet spayed. Rehoming fee...

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while but I'd thought I'd hop on and ask about something. To make a long story short, my youngest female rat (who was a rescue that was orig. a feeder) developed a large lump on her side. I took her to the vet and she got an xray. The vet said that she has a...

So my boys have (had) fleas. They've been to the vet and have now been treated with Advantage, but I still have a question. They have a little fluffy bed (this one) and they absolutely adore it, but of course it's covered in fleas. Would it do anything to put it in the freezer for a couple days...

Last night I went over and found that Archie had a piece of fabric stuck on his teeth. Between going to the vet and giving him medicine to help calm down a nasty chest tumor he's got I guess neither my vet nor I ever got a good look at this teeth. I know that as a rat owner, teeth needs to be...

One of my rats recently got diagnosed with lung tumor. The vet gave me antibiotics and said that he would likely die within 1-3 months. Originally he had been on antibiotics before for what we thought was just a cold, but it progressively got worse to I kept taking him back to the vet...

I recently got a litter box for my new rats. I did as the directions said, and waited until they pooped in that corner and then moved the litter box in with the litter. The box is far away from their food and water, but it's still pretty large. Should I be worried about them eating the litter? I...
