thanks for the public service announcement SQ. just so you are aware... I don't support it either. but i know of no alternative; hence, my question.

loving rats is so overwhelming wonderful and heartbreaking at the same time. the great thing about the rat forum is that we understand. it's so easy to take the normal everyday for granted... until those days run out....

I'm so interested to hear from everyone on whether there is much difference, in general, between rats you've purchased from a store versus ones that are raised from a litter in your home. My little ones have all come from stores that also sell them as feeders. I got my first rat from a friend...

I’m so sorry

I want to raise a litter too!

what an exciting, stressful, beautiful time :)

once any of mine have gotten a chest cold they almost never (one exception) get fully over it without antibiotics. if it's a rat i've had in before for the same thing i've been able to go pick up medicine without having to pay for a full exam. i'm taking one of my young females in for the first...

that's hilarious. rat's are just the best.

JesusFreeman that's awesome. Thank you for sharing this!

SQ, thank you for the martinscages.com link.

my first experience seeing pet rats was watching two little rats and a kitten play together in my friends living room. never in my life had i imagined such a thing could be....

is there any way to stop these baby monsters from snipping every electric cord in half? other than restricting their outings... begging them not too hasn't helped. neither has pretending they'll never do it again :(

Apologies if this has already been said: I choose for surgery and pathology on new tumors. Sometimes it's not cancer and their health is restored. I'm sorry for your little Ginger and you.

I'm so glad I looked at this thread. Where do you get baby kale?

i get everything washed at least once a week. but not at the same time. i have them towels and blankets everywhere and usually change out an area every other day. i spot clean the cages during the day and replace the bedding weekly. they will just love helping you clean :rolleyes: and mine...

just for fun thought you might like seeing this setup. the wooden walkways are always covered with old towels, except for when I took the picture as they were in the wash. I keep the doors open most of the time and let them free range on the table. at the end i have a drawer they love to camp...

They are so pretty. I saw the beautiful home you made them and they are very lucky too. You and them are going to have a lot of fun. They are amazing creatures.

O wow thank you for taking the time to write about this. The 3-6 weeks is exactly what it “looked like” he needed. Now I know why. What I have learned with rats is everything happens fast and you have got to be paying attention. Your little one are so docile to take such great tooth pictures...

His top incisors are really crooked sideways coming down. Doc didn’t say anything about that but I wonder if that’s a malocclusion...

Jeffrey’s got one bottom tooth that’s white and twice as long as the other one atm. I’m taking him in tomorrow. He’s had that one trimmed once before. I guess Bee is okay, her fangs are long but the even... and she doesn’t have any problems or issues except for when her sister is being an...
