Hello, this is my first post, haven't really gotten the hang yet, but I hope someone can help. One of my boys, Bubbles, isn't doing too well. He started getting bald spots and scratched his skin open a little in a few spots about a month ago. When I went to the Vet, he told me that I should add...

So, my rat yeti has these random "out bursts". It started when my dad hoovered. He hooved around when yeti ran around on the walls of his cage and didn't stop for 5 seconds then stopped dead still. He was wide eyed and as stiff as a board. We had an hour of cuddles till he came back out of his...

Hi! Been a while since ive posted here, but i have three rats- about a year and a half year old. Theyre all from different litters, and one has a respiratory infection she spread to her sisters. My concern is that shes developed 3 medium sized tumors in the past few days- and though i know its...

hiya so I’ve had 4 rats over the past few years and a few days ago my dear Bella passed away which has left my last rat Rosie all alone. She is senior now (around 2 years) and has multiple tumours, she isn’t in visible pain so I haven’t wanted to stress her out. I’ve talked to the vet and my mum...

Hey everyone, first time rat owner here and I think I might have rescued a pregnant rat. I have of course done my research on pregnant rats just in case, but I'm still not quite sure what to do. We got her and her friends a few weeks ago (Maybe 2½ ?) and these past few days she's been gaining a...

Hi, I really need advice, my rat fell off his cage today and his foot is super swollen, has cuts in it, and a little purple. I’m going to try and take him to the vet but how do I know if it’s just a sprain or broken I really wish I could just know and help him): I’m really worried because he...

So I have 3 rats who have been together since birth. They were all perfectly fine and they loved me once they had been at my home in their cage after about 2 months (they are now about 10 months old) but recently one of my rats has been acting really different. She comes up to me when I'm with...

I've had borris and bendy for just under a month now. Borris ended up escaping while I was cleaning their cage and ended up under my fridge. I've had so many rats before so at first I know to leave food and water and attempt to lure or in a safe manner manage to trap him. Until today I was...

I'm not sure how old it is, but I asked for a crawler. I recently bought it a friend, who is definitely a male. I really don't want any babies, considering I am quite new to owning rats. So please please help me!

Hello! I just recently bought two babies from a breeder. I believe that the breeder didn't really take the time to handle them enough. They get very scared easily and I know they will adjust, but I have a few questions about what I should be doing to help them. Muck is the most skittish, and I...

Okay so, one one older rat had gotten an ear infection and we had to travel a to a vet for him, we were fine for a day. All my girls and boys were all out and running around before I left Friday night. When I got back Saturday evening I check my boys all ran up for kisses and then treats, after...

Hi again, so a couple of days ago (Monday?) I was feeding Jack from my hand but I had to go do something and started to pull my hand away slowly and he started to act frantic. He shoved as much food in his mouth as he could and started shrieking. I was startled since I’ve never heard him shriek...
