Hi everyone
My female rat, Mufin, usually smells pretty normal (almost like corn tortillas, haha). However, she’s recently been smelling sweet. It’s definitely not a “bad” smell, just very different from her usual scent. She smells faintly like grape soda — almost perfume-like.
I’ve heard people say that female rats can sometimes smell like this, but from what I’ve read the smell is present mostly since they were babies (basically, the smell doesn’t randomly change halfway throughout their life).
I’m wondering if anyone has had any experience with this? Is this something to be concerned about?
Thank you
