Hey! Thanks. I bet he will love that. I am going to put him in a bigger cage today but imma take the levels out so he dosnt fall. Any more suggestions?

Ok great thank you. I would never do that without doing the proper research. I just heard that. I was VERY leary about that kind of treatment. It didn't sound like it held water. Thank you.

a lady that has a small farm said that thats a way to put down anamals. She has done it on other small animals and, According to her, its more humane and that they just go to sleep. I have no idea if this is ok or not do thats why I am asking.

Hi all. I have two rats. Mickey is an albino and Jerry is the hooded black and white. Ok so this is a long one one so hang in there. So it all started when about 2 and a half weeks ago when I heard some wheezing so I put one little pill of fish mox in their water bottle which is what an...

Great, thanks. I actually mean he scratched. Like I saw him swipe at him. Hes kind of neurotic though. I try to hold him as much as i can. But he just seems kind of annoyed. My dangerous rat, He is usually the aggrivator when they get hurt.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post I dont know where to post this.

Hey all. Let me give a little background. It all started when i saw a post from the animal shelter about a 3-4 month old rat that needed to get a good home. So I went there and the lady there someone said they found it on the street (like no way, that rat is as slippery as fresh cut linoleum.)...

Yeah. It's starting to come to a head.

Ok. Thanks @lilspaz68. That sounds really good. I'll do that.

Hey guys. My rat has a small cut on his shoulder inflicted by another rat about a week ago. And today I just discovered this big lump on his shoulder about the sise of a dime. He seems fine, but he groans when we touch it. Hes eating and drinking fine. A bit lethargic but hes usually lazy. He...

I have officially installed a TV in my rat mancion. I have also installed a tp stuffing dispenser. I put a phone in a plastic bag #rattv

Yeah. I am reading joinrats .com right now. Very useful info there. Will read more tomorrow. Thank you @SQ.

Sorry. @SQ Maby I should define myself. Fighting is not good. But dominant behaviors like pinning and power grooming or playing are fine. But I dont believe that actual fighting is ok.

ummmmm.... WOW.... that's pretty rough

Thanks guys for the stories. I dont know if I am able to get another rat.(we already have like 7 of them.) And the financial and emotional burden might be a bit too much.(especially that we are moving). But I will see what we can do. so we will need to assess what we can do. But I dont like the...

Thanks @jorats. But that what i tried that on my lap and ye still didnt like it. That was the most neutrally area in the house. I had just changed in fresh clothes so there was no scent at all. My mom thinks he has some sort of social disability like autism. He looks like he has a lot of the...

Remmy is about 2 1/2 months younger than my other rats. He has been severely abused (like his ear got cut) and has never had any association with other rats his whole life. I will follow the instructions in the link.

Hey peeps, So I adopted a rat from the shelter about 3 weeks ago. We started to try and intro him with another rat on mine in a nice big cage. Anyway, he just stayed in the top ledge 8n the corner hunched up in a ball. He stayed that way for like 2 days. So after about 2 days we took the other...
