Lulla has been sick and I have no idea what it was. Noone at the Norwegian forum knew what it was either so I am hoping some of you have any ideas.
November the 23. I noticed she had gone up 40g in a matter of two weeks. This was strange and so I kept on weighing her every day. Only 3 days later she had gained 12 more grams. She was also keeping more to herself and barely came outside of the cage. The 27th she was just lying in her hamock. Her fur was puffed up and she was breathing heavily. I thought she was giving birth or something and I was really scared. But then, like two hours later she lay flat again and seemed sick, but she ate a little and drank some water. Next day a friend and breeder (she has only had three litters in two years, but then the litter must be perfect :p) Anyway she has had lots of rats, and she confirmed that Lulla was not pregnant. Lulla was acting strangely quiet and semmed to be in pain sometimes, though not as bad as that first time. And then, the 29th in the evning, she just seemed to come to life again. She climbed around in my room and seemed completely fine. What could it have been?
 
They were kind of small and very dry :S I think it is kind of scary though, what if it returns? She was in pain and it was horrible to watch, but now she is fine. Could it have been something she ate maybe? The flu? I don't know...
 
Did she have a different food, or been on meds? I would keep a close eye on her in case it's something going on inside her belly.
 
No she had the same food as usuall and evrything. She has steadied on 447g though so I think the gaining of wight had nothing to do with the rest? She could have swallowed a piece of plastick maybe, or osme dirt or maybe she found something in my room that she ate. Could that be the cause maybe? Headache? Wish she could talk...
 
It was very unlikely as she in that case must have mated through the bars of a cage :giggle:
Now she is completely fine so I am just assuming she had a stomach ache or something :joy:
 
Seriously now she is 462g :panic: She went like half a year without passing 400 and now she has gained 63g in one month. I think she is gonna beat Amy soon, shes like 530 or something... :roll: I can feel the fat on her belly and she is turning into a cuddly cozy fat rat. Fat and sleepy :roll: She spends much more time sleeping in the pink hammock with Amy, whom she couldnt stand a few months ago :p
