Hiya, as i posted on another part of this forum we lost one of our rats over a month ago and now only have one, he's got HED now and i have been reading around and have read that some of you use glucosamine, do you think that it would be any good if we tried to give him that? and how much?
Also we have made him a retirement home in a part of the cage and i put fleece in there and keep it clean and all that, but i think that he's got a bit of bumble foot :sad3: its like a little sore of the bottom of his foot, what should i do about this? apart from keeping him on the fleece and everything really clean, do i have to wash it with anything? this is our first time at having rats and are learning as we go, i just don't want to miss doing anything to care for a elderly rat.
thank you
Lisa
