  2. Meet My Rat
    So i finally got a new rat after my old one Harold Fairhair passed away. Pilgore has been dying to play with another rat. The breeder i went to is pretty decent too. I had to go sort of far away to get him too. He is only a baby, 3 months old. He is super affectionate. The breeder tamed them so...

    My father found an abandoned baby mouse and gave it to me to take care of, I’ve been keeping the baby warm and feeding it, but I’m pretty sure the baby is bloated. I’m not quite sure what to do as I’ve given the baby tummy rubs before and after feeding and recently have been giving it more...

    It seems I don't have any luck with rats, Just when I'm starting to think life has thrown me a bone after losing my girl Nova I find that my new rat is sick. Wheezing and making bad sounds. Her nose just started getting wet, and its really frustrating to see her this way and I know I can't do...

    So the other day i brought home a baby to introduce to my two adults that i have had for a few months now.
