Hello Everyone,
I'm new here. I have a 1.5 year old rat named Mulan and she was just spayed on Tuesday. The hope is that by spaying her, her mammary growths will stop growing.
She is a stubborn girl and is very unhappy in her smaller cage. She's pretty pouty because she doesn't have her hammock or other levels to explore. She keeps climbing the sides of the smaller cage and falling (on purpose...she just gets to the top and lets go. Then she gives me side eye and does it again).
Her incision looks fine. No weeping, swelling or redness. I took her e-collar off this morning (horrible, horrible thing) and she isn't bothering it at all.
I've been putting her smaller cage next to my bed at night so that I can keep an eye on her, but her larger cage won't fit.
My question is this - when can I move her back to her multi-level cage in the other room?
Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to being a part of this community!
