I have some other human meds but i dont think those would work

No I've never had to give them any medication. Could i maybe mix some of the colloidal silver in their water or in a treat?

URGENT!!! So one of my rats (10-month-old female) has come down with an ear infection. I recently moved and had my brother watch both my rats for about a month while we were taking care of house business. (He has rats as well). Shortly after having her in his possession, he noticed she was...

NUTRIENTS Protein, %........................................... 24.0 Thats what I found on the Mazuri bag...my research shows that Mazuri is great food for rats.

Cpngratulations on your new rat! Yes, the wrestling will settle down, but not stop. This is because they will be playing. When they wrestle does it look aggressive? If not and it looks playful then I'd recommend putting them together sooner because rats need socialization with other rats and...

Mazuri is actually a good food and I'm going to continue using it. And just because you are vegan SQ does not mean no one can feed their rats meat:rolleyes:

Congratulations on the future birth of baby ratties! Yes, make sure the cage is proper for babies. Rats rarely need C - sections, but it never hurts to make sure your local exotic vet provides that service. Actually animal protein is good for rats. Why do you think all of the wild rats live on...

Yes, get new litter and take out the baking soda stuff. You should be able to return it as well.

I would stick to doctors orders but question her about how long you should continue giving them the meds. Like with human antibiotics, even if you feel fine it doesn't mean you are completely cured and you should always keep taking the meds as long as the doctors want you to. And you and the...

Ouch it seems pretty severe...have you talked to a vet yet? If not you should. Hope Baby gets better soon!

I agree with Skar...people with serious health issues most of the time rarely go out of the house, plus it's not like if we take our rats to the store we aren't forcing people to touch or be close to our rats. People are scared of dogs, thats their problem. People are scared of rats, that their...

The vet did do it properly but they both ripped out the stiches overnight and they got a really bad infection for some reason. Both of them , brother and sister, had to get put down.

I understand some of the benefits to spaying but I do not intend to spay my girls. I have had bad experiences with spaying small animals before and I would not like to risk Latte or Cookies' life to the same fate as the previous times.

I already have had her sister Cookie for a few weeks now and introductions went great. I personally also don't think spaying rats is a good thing to do because rats are not good when they go under, also spaying is pretty invansive, especially if you compare them to neutering boys. Thanks for the...

Yeah it works perfectly! As long as the oil is safe for them to lick in case they try to eat it lol

ok so what we did with our hamsters wheel before she passed (RIP Blossom <3) we would put oil on the like back part that spins. That made it silent. It also was attached to the wires of the cage btw.

Something thats plastic and they can't get they're toes or tail caught also make sure they're backs don't bend when they use it so there's no back issues silent spinners are good.

So the sneezing is new home sneezes. Basically he's getting used to his new enviroment. If it persists after maybe 5 days then go see a good rat vet. About the other sound it sounds like hes just sniffing. Cute little boy though! Have fun with him:D <3

Loosing a pet is hard... so sorry for your loss. Don't rush yourself and get another baby when you guys are ready. It's not like shes all alone because she has her older friend <3

They are so cute! The sneezing is probably new home sneezes that all rats have when they get a new house. Some babies and rats in general are less actve or more active then others. For example my new baby girl Cookie is more of a cuddle bug and her older sister is definately more adventurous and...
