My dudes are super picky spoiled brats though. Snub their noses at grapes, wont eat blueberries, and I'd be surprised if they ate kale. I'll give it a try though. They also have a wooden bird toy wheel thingy that they chewed a little when they were little, then lost interest. It might be...

A very helpful informative post. Thank you. I do feed them lima beans, corn, peas, and carrots often, as well as the occasional sweet potatoes and chicken as a special treat. I give them chicken bones every few weeks to file their teeth down with too. I'll try broccoli, but any other specific...

You say you get where I am coming from but almost everything else you said tells me that's not the case at all. In my first "cold-hearted" post, I said that I can't afford to take my sick old rat to the vet to get tests, scans, and treatment, then right after that I explained that I was looking...

Thank you. That means a lot to me. It really is painful seeing one of my little buddies dying, especially in a gruesome way like this. I'd rather not feel guilty about it too.

And I made little transformer figures of them too. Making custom action figures is my job and hobby, so...

Got a female rat in my late teens that lived for over 4 years, and she was an awesome pet. had severalother pets over the years after her, and now I'm all old and give-out with a bunch of kids and stuff. We have 3 rat boys, all creeping up on 2 years old, and all with their own crazy...

To some I guess I would be considered cold-hearted. I'm fine with that, because I know some people think hunters are wrong to kill even if they eat what they kill, some won't even eat meat because "the poor animals", some would sooner let their homes be infested with mice if humane traps don't...

I get what you're saying. It just sounded a bit judgmental to me, partly because I DO care a lot about these guys so I am probably a little defensive about what I feel is reasonable as far as dealing with this problem. Some could take a moral high ground stance against "ending the suffering" of...

I was hoping for a more realistic and less judgmental point of view. I wasn't just saying the rat cost me $1 so screw his suffering. I was saying that when we saved these from being terrified and eaten by a large snake or lizard as babies- when we decided to give them years in a loving home...

Hey guys. I'm new here and I'll put up an introduction post in the appropriate place later with pics of my little buddies, but right now I have a situation. I came here to see if anyone has ever seen this issue before and can tell me anything. I've had pet rats before and right now we have 3...
