male rat

Almost a year ago I neutered one of my male rats, but all my other rats keep annoying him, sniffing and touching his genitals. And they all also hump him, I just feel bad for him, I don't know what I can do. I don't really want to neuter the rest of them, because that cost alot of money :(...

Hi guys... So I've been having a small problem with fighting between my two male rats. Both of them are about 9-10 months old now and are half brothers. They don't often fight and I never seem to catch them doing it but I have noticed Moose (my smaller boy) has a lot of cuts on his back around...

My 2.5 / 3 year old male seems to have suffered a stroke the day before yesterday. I wasn't aware of it at the time, but looking back Im sure of the exact moment it occurred. Thursday afternoon we were cleaning the 3 multi-level cages for our 7 Rats. Suddenly, Ratscal freaks out and starts...

I have a 2 yr 2 mo unneutered male named Rupert and two 1 yr 9 mo spayed females named Bonnie and Nina who are sisters. They met Rupert 6 months ago. Introductions went great, everything perfect for a while. After a couple months Rupert would occasionally get nasty with them, like really...

Hi Guys, My rat is around 2 years old. His siblings have passed on, so he is the last of our babies. We try to take him out for plenty of play time considering, and he started lifting his left leg and won’t put it down. At first I believed in was Hind Leg Degeneration (I think I spelled that...

I have three boys. Two are complete loves and love to be pet and handled. The third, Gatsby, has always hated being touched. He's about 8 months now and I just kind of leave him be. If I try to touch him, he rears up on his hind legs and tries to push me away with his paws and/or teeth. He...

I'm a first time rat owner. I'm struggling to introduce an older rat, Davos, to two younger rats, Stannis and Roose. A couple of weeks ago, a friend tells me she needs her rat re-homed because her dogs would terrorize him whenever they could in the three weeks she had him. When I started with...

We noticed that our male rat's testes got swollen and purplish! We noticed it yesterday and we are alarmed as to what is wrong... Please do help us. Yesterday, from morning to noon, he showed no signs of anything wrong. His testes was the same pink bulk; definitely not swollen nor purplish. By...

At least it seems similar to paraphimosis from what i've read on Rat Health Guide. Poor boy got his bits stuck outside last night and I've been trying to help him while waiting to get him into the vet. I've tried a few things (that were recommended on RHG) to get his junk back in, but nothing...

He’s white with black eyes friendly and cute gives kisses. My other rats all hate him so he needs a good home. You must have a cage already and preferably another rat. I don’t want him used as a breeder. Contact me if interested
