    Getting cage ready for mama and her babies. Wdyt?

    The cage is an all living things cage. It was sold for a short period of time at petsmart and is no longer manufactured by them. I tried to get replacement parts for the one I had (my little monsters chewed the bottom pan), but I was not able to order new parts. The best advice I could give to...

    I was checking on my cricket colony and found something strange...

    Your cricket has freshly moulted. You will notice that the exoskeleton will get darker as time goes by... actually probably has already happened at this point.

    Submissive rat has scabs all over his body

    This definitely sounds like mites or lice. Mites and lice can cause a change in behaviour as well. If someone is itchy all over they can become irritable. Do not separate them, but watch. Does the younger one seem scared of the older one? Do you know where the blood was coming from? Keep in...

    Rats & mental issues. Rat bit son & I - we bled blood. Rat bite fever concerns.

    Do you still have your rat? I can likely help you. PM me before taking him to a shelter if you haven't already taken him.

    5 females + 4 males - Ontario

    Although many SPCAs do take rats and small animals, and some are no kill (due to space), they are still safest with you until they find a good home that you are able to screen. There are no/very basic screening processes at the SPCA. I volunteer at one and have adopted a hamster from one...

    FN addon on a DCN :)

    Looks awesome! Is it hard to reach all the way up there? I wanted to try a triple set up but I feel like it would be too high to reach.

    Critter Nation Shopping

    If you post your location Im sure that more people can help out. If I knew your location I could give you options. FYI: If you order from Flowertown Chinchillas (the link SQ posted above) there is an option for you to pick up the cage from their location in Brampton.

    Breeders

    Personally, I believe that if someone breeds they should do so to improve the species and should ensure that none of their animals end up in the rescue world. I have nothing against breeders who study the genetics and follow the health of their lines. Usually these are the kind of breeders who...

    Weird red flecks in my rat's fur?

    It sounds like it could be lice. Do the red flecks move? Find one and watch it.

    Whiskers from Hamilton Animal Control

    He was snuggled up with both Merlin and Gus in that picture. Gus was bruxxing and I was trying to get a video showing how rat teeth move when Whiskers kinda took over the shot. He is so active that it is next to impossible to get pics. During out time (well, Whiskers was still in his cage but ya...

    Whiskers from Hamilton Animal Control

    He made it all the way down the ladder and to the floor last night! I was so happy for him! He was running around under his cage but wouldn't venture further then the side of the room with his cage on it. He put himself back as well! That is the most progress I have made with him since he first...

    Urgent free pinky rats in Hamilton

    Got them! Mom is a biter, very protective of her babies. Wouldn't even let me clean the poop out of the carrier. I managed to distract her with the blanket to clean it up. She won't take food from me, but I left it in there and I can hear her eating :) They will be going to a rescue since I am...

    Whiskers from Hamilton Animal Control

    HAHA no, the one with Aella is Yuka. Mr. Whiskers has really grown since the last pictures on here. He is much bigger then that. I also would not trust him with a baby so small. He is a bit of a spaz when the mood takes him. Overall, Whiskers is doing very well. He has been neutered and was...

    Mammary Tumor Removal Cost

    Where are you located? Tumour removals vary greatly between vets. It also varies based on the size of the tumour, how attached the tumour is to other structures around it, etc... These things determine how long the surgery will be. My vet charges based on the amount of time it takes. I have...
