My new pet rat has one of her ears almost falling off is that normal or healthy for rats to have only one ear?
I got her from a vivarium that I trust deeply. No she is not bleeding and she does not seem to be in painI’m a new rat owner Do you know the cause of her ear falling off? Is there blood? Is she in pain? Where did you get her?
I think she definitely could have gotten In a fight as she was housed with other ratsPics please!! And her history. Could she have fought with another rat?
She is a juvenile dumbo rat that was bred in a communal space with other rats. Her ear looked like that when we got her but I think it got a little worse since she shares a cage with another ratPics please!! And her history. Could she have fought with another rat?
Is it necrotic?The pic shows a superficial tear through the membrane of her outer ear. Is there scabbing along the edges or is it healing?
