litter

Hi, I haven't been on in ages! My last boy passed away in August 2021 at 37 months old. 😥 I hope everyone is doing well and wish you a healthy and happy 2022! I am finally ready to get some new little friends and I noticed that Yesterday's News pellets are no longer available. Any...

Hello last night my husband and I came home and found one of our babies(Uno) (Disturbing warning) eating the body of his brother (Nico.) After the initial shock and anger we realized (Nico) had died of something else and that the brother (Uno) eating him was a natural response to death and...

I recently got a litter box for my new rats. I did as the directions said, and waited until they pooped in that corner and then moved the litter box in with the litter. The box is far away from their food and water, but it's still pretty large. Should I be worried about them eating the litter? I...
