Neutering

[Melissa]

I wish I could afford to neuter and spay all of my baby rats before adopting them out.

correct me if i am wrong, but why would you spay and neuter ALL of your rats if neutering has no health benefits?

that being said, it's better for marking, and agression, so it's not totally pointless.

..i really wish the cheaper vet would do spays.. i'll see if i can talk him into it because i would so totally spay all my girls if it didn't cost me $300. The e-spay I had done cost me $360, that's a lot to a lowly 16 year old it was however, worth it.

To prevent accidentle litters and people carelessly breeding.

I spay all my girls, but the boys only get neutered for aggression, both with cagemates and/or humans.

Is it odd that my girls pee everywhere? I don't think my boys ever marked as much as they do. :shock:

I neutered a boy once due to aggression and it didn't improve anything. Marking or his personality.

My girls are pee-queens. Some days they're really good and I don't notice anything, but some days it's like they're carrying Niagara Falls! Molly's even been dubbed Molly McPee.

I just thank them kindly and say "I love you,too." My husband threatens to pee back. :badidea:

I think it's cute, but maybe that's weird.... :nod:
