Or am I being paranoid? I bet these 2 were older than they said they were. The labs must be wrong. Getti is crawling? He looks like hes waddling is the best way I can say it. (not that girls can't get whatever it is)These are my 1st boys in over 15 years so I don't remember much. Im trying to record it but its my 1st time with that video. Gee Im a mess! anic:

How old is he? Check his belly and see if its wet or he has discoloration around his urethra or if his urine has a strong smell.

Check his feet, he may have sprained one.

He smells good. He is a clean guy. No buck grease or anything. Both his legs and feet move the same he doesn't appear in any pain. Is this old man rat walking? is there such a thing? Both move more slower than before so I think they are older than they told me.

Pics? He sounds like he's just doing the old man waddle

 

[tinytippytoes]

yeah it looks just like that. Just an old man walking slowly. Aww poor Getti. How old does an old man start walking like that?

It all depends on the males. Some start to age at 24 while others like my Rory (rip) didn't start to waddle till he was 30 months.
My Davis (rip) didn't do it till he was about 40 months.

For many rats it seems that they turn two and are almost instantly "old" over night. Others have a MUCH slower decline.
