My female rat of 2 years old has a tumour beside her genitals which was first noticed September and was growing slowly but since December it has grown rapidly. She has been to the vets a few times and we tried treatment to see whether it would slow down the growth rate or potentially reduce it...

Hi everyone, My little lady DC has been not-quite-herself for the last couple of weeks. There was no overt sign of illness and we couldn't put our finger on what was wrong, but something just felt off. We've been keeping a very close eye on her. Unfortunately, last night I noticed some of the...

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while but I'd thought I'd hop on and ask about something. To make a long story short, my youngest female rat (who was a rescue that was orig. a feeder) developed a large lump on her side. I took her to the vet and she got an xray. The vet said that she has a...

Hi all, Sadly back again looking for advice for Ghost. She started losing weight last week, with a swelling to the side of her face, and a lump on her jaw. Took her to the vet 02/11 because she developed balance issues and have had her on enrobactin and metacam since then. Swelling to the...

Hi all, We are a family of three lovely and very mischevious rat girls (or rather 20month old ladies), Panic, Hiccup, and Ghost with one single rat mom. We all hate staying still for photos but love sleeping on our faces or in a little rattie puddle. Panic enjoys smooches and watching...
