    New boys! Older rat humping :(

    Okay! Thank you for this! My older one also bruxes / boggles a lot while he pancakes. He seems really relaxed. He let's the boys lay on him all the time too. Also, I actually just got the cage three days ago and wasnt aware of this! Is there a way I can alter my cage in order to cover the...

    New boys! Older rat humping :(

    I got a video now to kinda get a better idea of what's going on! I just wanna make sure that this is nothing to be worried about. I split it into three videos bc of the time limitation

    New boys! Older rat humping :(

    I dont have one of those either unfortunately 😩 but I've noticed that they do chase after my older one (nemo). Idk if they actually do anything to fight back. Nothing has happened other than what I first reported. The babies scream so much though and it makes it sound so awful. There isnt any...

    New boys! Older rat humping :(

    Hi! Thank you for responding! I used the carrier intro! I sectioned off half of their cage. They have access to a hammock too cause they were doing really well together until this. I havent weighed them because I dont have access to one rn so I'm not sure.

    New boys! Older rat humping :(

    Hi guys! It's been a while. One of my rats died recently and left my year and a half old boy Nemo behind. So I got him two baby brothers (I'm not good with rat ages, but they're not old at all), Craig and Tweek. I introduced them and Nemo showed no aggression, groomed them, shared food, cuddles...

    Girl or boy

    Aaah it's been way too long since I last had rats. I got these two new babies (idk how old they are but they're pretty young) and was told they're both boys but I'm questioning this second one. I don't want rat babies bro.

    Rat Porphyrin

    I've tried looking for vets all around. No one cares enough. I've been taking care of them myself. And my rats are only a year old. When they told me that they wouldn't help and to let them die, they were only a few weeks old. Btw, she's doing a lot better now.

    Rat Porphyrin

    Honestly, I care so much for my rats, but I can't take her to the vet. The vets said they'd help me, but then once I got both of my girls ((who were very sick at the time)), they just told me to let them die. They said, "they're rats and they weren't that much for you to purchase, so what's the...

    Rat Porphyrin

    My rat woke up with porphyrin all over her nose, mouth, her right eye and all over her hands. She looked like she got punched. Her lungs sound fine, but she's a little lethargic. She's been this way for two days. I don't know what to do. Is she sick or is this normal? Also, I don't actually...

    Fighting Aggressively But Still Getting Along

    Yeah, they have a big cage, it's taller than me and they love it. They do get time out whenever possible. I've just realized now that the huge fights only occur when food is around. I may have to separate them when they eat. Mainly because my more dominant rat likes to steal.

    Fighting Aggressively But Still Getting Along

    Well, okay :) I put them back together. I'll keep an eye on them and get them checked out.

    Fighting Aggressively But Still Getting Along

    They haven't been itching at all. I'll try to get pictures tonight, but they don't like being held for too long.

    Fighting Aggressively But Still Getting Along

    So, my two rats are super close and have been together since day one. They get along 99.9% of the time, but have minor spats every now and then. But recently, I've realized that both of them have bloody bite marks on their bodies. They're fighting, but they still cuddle and all that at the end...

    Dominant rat

    Okay, good. I'm glad it's nothing to worry about. Thank you so much for responding! I worry too much about my babies.

    Dominant rat

    So, my two girls Susan and Kova have been inseparable from day one. But recently, my more dominant rat, Susan, has been constantly harassing Kova. And I mean, constantly. Susan will harass her when she's just drinking water or simply just sitting there. Kova is obviously not okay with this and...

    Rats suddenly scared of me?

    Thank you, and yes. I did move the cage almost as soon as he passed because it was too hard to look at it empty. They're acting completely fine now thankfully.
