    Sick rat?

    @Dena ya the whistle sound is what I’m talking about. The breeder who I got them from is really good at keeping her rats healthy. So I asked her questions about them breathing and she said it sounded normal and should be fine.

    Sick rat?

    Could stress cause any of this as I have a dog and a cat and my cat loves to sit at the cage and stare at them. I’ve read that if there’s other animals it can stress them out.
