    I had spread his fur out to get the picture. He's pretty furry. Unfortunately, I was not able to go in with him due to covid-19. They called me from the office while I was in the car. So I have no idea what he did or did not do.

    Foods to mix liquid medicine in

    I'm fairly new to owning rats so I am still learning. What foods could I mix with medicine to get into both of my rats? Someone told me melted ice cream and chocolate pudding but those both sound a little weird to me ‍

    He doesnt seem to be itching any more then normal. I'm in New Jersey outside of Philadelphia. Not sure how to change it on my profile. They seem to get along fine. Just chase each other around and pin each other and groom.

    This doesnt seem like over grooming. It's just purple spots ‍

    Kinda confused

    Recently. I believe I got the new guy 2 weeks ago. I was told since its neutral territory because Henry hadn't been in this cage I could put them in at the same time. They have been fine besides the rough housing. I know Rizzo the new little guy has pinned Henry down and vice versa.
