He is still eating and drinking water, but if he stops I will definitely try to do Ensure or the peas. Thank you so much for all of your help and I will do my best to help Bandit; I love him very much and would never want anything bad to happen to him. Thank you again!

I will put a warm rice-sock in the cage, but I have tried and tried to get a vet for him but I can't in my area. I am putting many toys and fleece in there for Bandit to sleep in and play in. Thank you for all the help and hopefully I will be able to help Bandit very soon!

is a link to a video of my rat breathing. I just noticed that he is also breathing with his mouth open sometimes.

Ok, I will try these ideas out! Thanks for your help!

Ok, thanks!

Hello, I have posted before on this forum about a rat named Bandit who had been having trouble breathing. I put a humidifier near him, and the first night it worked well, but the other nights it didn't seem to change anything. I've had Bandit for about 1 year and 4 months, but when I got him he...

Ok, thank you!

To help with the squeaking, my male rat, Bandit, who is about a year and a half old, also squeaks/moans in his sleep. He also paws sometimes. My thought is just that he's dreaming - when he wakes up he's fine.

Hello, I have a male rat named Bandit that is 1 year and 4 months old on April 26, 2020. For the past week, I have noticed that when he breathes, there's like a muffled sound, similar to a stopped up nose in humans. He still grooms himself multiple times a day and wipes his nose and sneezes...

I like the second one! :)

I am so sorry. But remember that you did everything, and now she’s watching up in Rat Heaven and wondering why you cared so much. She knows you love her, and you’ll see her again. Look for the Red Birds.

I’m so sorry and hope you find him soon. I think you’re on the right track, so good luck. When you find him, you should get a harness and leash just in case it happens again. But for now, BASEMENT!!!

I think it is choking. My male rat Bandit has choked on a rice krispy treat, and I gave him yogurt to help ease it out. Try giving him strawberry yogurt on a spoon, and 30 minutes later or a hour or two whatever might be in there hopefully will either come out or get swallowed. GOOD LUCK!

Thank you and I will try to get Bandit a friend soon!

I wish I could help but I am clueless on how to treat seizures, but I wish you and your rat best of luck.

G0od luck and I'm happy you love rats!

Yes, I would wait a few more days until he seems happy and is playing around or sleeping soundly in his new house. After that, I would do a few inches apart for the cages. You're very welcome, and I hope it all works out soon!

First of all, don't worry about the porphyrin around her nose; my rat has had it a few times and he just wipes it off. If it starts coming in large amounts, then I would start being concerned. But if it's not a lot, don't worry. Secondly, I would not smoke near any animal. Go in a different room...

I am so sorry for your loss. I have my first rat, Bandit, and am trying my best to make him a very happy rat. I had a similar guilt feeling when I lost my betta fish, Sheldon. Since then I have spoiled all my fish and animals. But I learned that they always appreciate what we do for them. Don't...

Congratulations on the new rats! To get them used to each other, I would move their cages almost touching, but not quite. I know my male rat would possibly try to bite another rat through the bars, so just have them a few inches apart for now. After they seem like they have interacted some, I...
