Heya everyone,
After being gone for a while, I thought I'd tune back on the forum, seen as I need help with something.
So, the situation is like this:
I have three rats atm. 2 of them will turn 2 around the 25th of december, one of them is the birthdate unknown off, but she is with me for around a year now, so let's say she is a year old.
One of the older rats has a lump. She is very active and its not too big so it doesn't really look like it bothers her. She is called Liz. Liz and the one year old (Aiko) go along well.
Then you have the other (almost) 2 year old, called Yuuki. Yuuki and Liz are sisters.
Lately Yuuki has been going backwards in health.
She easily falls over and off like the platforms in the cage. She also gets picked on a lot by Aiko and sometimes by Liz as well.
Because Yuuki is falling over more and more, and because she gets picked on, I decided to get an other cage for her, which has more floor space, but a lot less climbing space, due to the fact I'm terrified she will break something when she falls off again, especially if it would happen from the top floor.
I also decided to separate her, because she gets picked on a lot. ( So badly that she has had multiple little bite wounds and lost a lot of pieces of fur)
I was wondering, was this the right decision?
I am giving her a ton more attention now, so she doesn't start to feel lonely.
I hope people can give advice
