That's a brilliant idea! I would love to do that in the future. Thank you.

Thank you all so so much xx Chewie was put to sleep yesterday because he just didn't have an appetite for anything other than biscuits and the meds were a flop. Piddlepod suggested it may be heart congestion and to check we would've had to do an x ray and then treatments which unfortunately we...

Chewie is about 560g and I need to calculate dosages for his meds that I'm using from my other rat's medication. He's getting 0.45ml of baytril. The bottle of doxy says: '1 x Ronaxan 100 tabs 100 mg Pk50' but I don't know what it means. How much should he be given? I reckon around 0.3? I also...

Thanks I totally forgot about chocolate! Luckily we had some and I gave him a piece about pea size. How much do you reckon is too much? He's had a bit of granola, water and food but not a lot to be honest. Trying everything I can:)

I've tried to give him some medication but idk how much actually went in. He isn't interested in the soaked rat nuggets anymore nor the babyfood. I tried giving him some water but he wouldn't take it. He's had tiny nibbles of carrot and apple. He likes the granola I gave him but when I mixed it...

Don't worry, thank you. I've decided to cancel the neuter because Chewie's suddenly become very ill. I don't know how long he'll last but I don't think we'll be able to find him a friend. Thank you so much again.

Chewie doesn't move much at all now and he doesn't want to take the babyfood anymore which is bizarre considering how much he loves food. It breaks my heart how he tries to wipe all the med off when I put it in his mouth after not taking it with food. He doesn't seem to want to eat his lab...

Thank you, I already have a lot of medication for URI. I know I need to give him 0.46ml Baytril/day as he's 575g but I'm not sure how much doxy he needs. I have more meds but I think I'll try those two combos first and maybe add bisolvon as well. For doxy, I think he'll need roughly 0.3ml twice...

I've got to go in a bit but I really don't want to leave him. He doesn't want his rat blocks but will take baby food.

Chewie is suddenly breathing heavily and just lying on my lap. He was completely fine yesterday and it's all very sudden. I have antibiotics and antiinflammatories. Should I give them to him?

I'm slightly worried about Chewie because he did start biting my wrists yesterday when I tried to block him from going somewhere but it was a lot less harder than before. He also now allows me to pick him up and isn't as resistant. Yesterday I saw him trying climb to a level in the cage by...

Wow thanks so much again PiddlePod! I'm super nervous because I've done one intro before but between an adult and two babies which went really well. So do you think it's ok for the breeder to seperate one adult male from a group? She said they don't have a strong bond anyway because there are...

Helllo, My Chewie is getting neutered next week because he is being aggressive towards me and I wouldn't want to risk trying to introduce him unneutered to another rat. I've been searching for a single older ideally female rat but haven't been so succesful yet. There is one breeder offering to...

Hi Chewie's getting neutered next week Wednesday but I haven't been successful in finding a partner. I know intros between adult males are often more complicated but how would a neutered male rat and an unneutered male rat get along?

Haha yes, thank you so much viciouscurse. Unfortunately (fortunately) we don't have feeder bins here but I'll definitely try the other things you have suggested. I'll have to use my pocket money for his neuter but you've convinced me that it'll be absolutely worth it! Also how long after surgery...

A few days ago my Yoda passed away-we didn't expect him to die so quickly at only a year old. This leaves Chewy needing a companion but I have so much to think about that I need advice. Recently Chewy has become quite aggressive; I think it's just a build up of testosterone but Yoda's illness...

Thank you, that is very reassuring and I hope you and your ratties all the best:)

Yoda passed away today at 11.15 AM just as I walked into my room to cuddle with him. He was going to be put to sleep today at 4.45 but it was too late. I wish I had booked the appointment earlier. It's freaking me out a bit because this is the same situation I had with Bodger. He also died...
