I'm new to this forum, so I hope I posted this in the right place. I have a hairless rat (Scarlett) who is about 9 months old. She has 3 female cage mates. They have their little squabbles, but no one has ever gotten hurt. Today while I was cleaning out their cage, I let them run loose in the bathroom. When I got done, I noticed Scarlett had a large boil looking thing on her neck. I didn't notice it before I put them in the bathroom. I think I would have if it had been there, but who knows. I know we have brown recluse spiders in our house... I found one in the bathroom just the other day. Does this look like a spider bite or is it something else?
