hi everyone!
I've been using newspaper for a year now at least to give my rats as nesting material (along with other stuff). One of may rats, 2.1 years old, is getting very itchy, stopping frequently to have a good scratch. She has been doing it for a few weeks but no scabs have emerged and her fur looks shiny and clean.
could it be the nesting material? like some allergy?
Thenks:)
 
sorry for the late reply
ok, I'll do a deep clean this week and look if anything changes
her skin looks clear to me, as dose her fur, maybe it's become a tic?
