    My Rinky & Bingo in 1 cage now, but, Rinky seems different

    Ok, so I was finally able to put Bingo in the condo with Rinky. They do not fight, but, Rinky just seems quiet & unplayful since. Does he just have to get used to it? Thanks again Noel

    Scab on my Dumbo, Rinky

    Ok, so yesterday I had Rinky on me and felt something on the side of his neck. It actually looks like a tick.....can they get ticks? If not, I'm thinking maybe he scratched himself or my other Dumbo, Bingo did it. What can I put on it to heal it? Thanks in advance for the help Noel

    Fleece

    Picky eater or what?

    I've posted before about my rat, Rinky, being a very fussy eater. Now he won't eat the peas & corn unless I hand feed him. He doesn't like much else. I've tried potato skins, bean sprouts, Romain lettuce mix, curly kale, banana, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, tomato, string beans, eggs...

    Sound My Rat Makes

    It's Noel , Rinky's mom, again. Ok this started yesterday. Rinky was out all day in his play space. Nothing unusual happened, but he started making this sound. It sounded like a bird chirping. Now I have had him out all day and he is doing it again. I held him, talked softly to him & pet him...
