    Rat eating another's body?

    Thank you so much for your reply - My boyfriend has decided that Tribble killed Blue because they both were a little more agressive when it came to food. I'm thinking more along the lines that she died naturally and was eaten. But what if she was killed? Do you know if that's something that...

    Rat eating another's body?

    Hi all, It's been a while since I've been on here, but this morning something happened that I'm confused/concerned about and this is the first place I thought of to ask. Last night, all my ratties were doing fine (I have 7 in a full ferret nation). This morning, my boyfriend told me not to go...

    After the operation

    She's back with her two cagemates and I have to keep reminding myself that she just had an operation - she's all over the place and back to normal!

    After the operation

    I just picked up Tribble from the vet after her E-Spay...Everything went well and she's at home now.... But now there's some questions - I don't like asking the vet techs as I'm not sure if they know much about rats and Eric was busy... 1) The stitches will fall out on their own - should I...

    Bad news then good news

    :heart: She is very pretty and so sweet - I'm amazed at her personality...I mean, all my ratties are loving but I absolutely love how cuddly she is :) One question though - she's from questionable beginnings (pet store rattie) so I have an e-spay scheduled for next Monday (she was brought home...

    Bad news then good news

    So, we lost our Remy - the abscesses kept getting worse... she didn't look in pain though, and looked peaceful when she left - it was time for her... She was our only dumbo and my boyfriend just loved her to pieces (mostly because of her big floppy ears) and kept saying that he wanted...

    not sure what this means

    I've got two red eyed ratties....My boyfriend told me not to get too attached to Elly because he didn't think she would live for very long because of the sway :(....Then I looked it up and was happy again :) I love their swaying! Especially when there is music playing :)

    Multiple Abscesses ** Graphic Pictures :( **

    I think they they were typical abscesses - This was my first experience with something like this - It started with a black bump which burst. Soon after another one burst right next to it (I don't think this one had a black bump though) and then it just kept growing... Hopefully the vet can fix...

    Multiple Abscesses ** Graphic Pictures :( **

    Remy had an abscess by her groin which burst and I gave her daily salt baths and it started getting better... Now it looks like multiple burst abscesses (it's about the size of a nickel) - I keep giving her daily baths but it doesn't look like it's getting better...And during todays bath I...

    pregnant rat help!!!

    I had the same thing happen to me... You'd be amazed how good rattie moms are - All you have to do is make sure that the cage is clean and that momma has good food to eat :) Hopefully she only has a tiny litter!! *PS - we share names :P lol *

    Kijiji - Made me sad :(

    Not sure if these are put here, but I figured that the best place to put it would be where guinea pig lovers hang out :) - hope we can find him a home ... http://halifax.kijiji.ca/c-pets-other-p ... dZ98625619 It's a sin on so many levels - the kid shouldn't have brought it home without...

    People are Morons-Part 2!

    I hate that. The owner of the business I work at likes to mention everytime that he is around me that he needs to check the mousetraps....This is after I begged him to use humane traps :( My other co-workers are pretty good, I have a picture of my ratties on my desk and I hear a lot of, awww...

    Escapee - Help!

    So - Mouchette has figured out that she can squeeze between the bars of the FN (I'm not sure how exactly - she's pretty plump...but she's always out and about) and seems to like to run around the apartment. I don't mind for the most part, she hasn't chewed anything, just explored, and has but I...

    rat survey =P

    1) what was the worst injury your rat(s) suffered from? I've been pretty lucky with my rats and injuries...I'd have to say the worst has been when Blue recently tore a fingernail off...but it only bled for a second, and she was too anxious to get back into the cage (it was treat time) to even...

    Abscess - treatment at home?

    Is it normal for more than one abscess to show up in the same area? I've treated Remy's abscess and it burst...It's still not healed completely just yet. I just noticed today though, that she has another one growing right next to the first one... Is this rather normal with abscesses, or should...
