    I had 2 rats and unfortunately Stormfly had to be put down just under 2 weeks ago. My other rat Toothless who is just over a year old (I will be finding her another cagemate) is clearly grieving for her. She is lethargic, withdrawn and incredibly skittish (she's usually a bit skittish but it's...

    Hi, my rat Clu is almost 1.5 years old and she suddenly has changed behaviour. I know she's not really old at the moment but her behaviour is showing somewhat old age signs (from what I know).

    Hello! I got a rat a couple days ago. She's four months old and her name is Basil. When sending someone out to get bedding, they got pine instead of aspen. I hadn't noticed until today.

I’ve adopted two baby rats (females) and from the start it has been a tricky situation because they are completely untamed, Extremely skittish and they do not like humans.

    Hello! I am a new rat owner with 2 baby females that I got around 2 weeks ago. They are still very scared and nervous of me and loud sounds.

    So lately I bought him some new toys for him and he kinda destroyed them so I started fixing them with a super glue and I wonder if I can put them back to his cage? If it isn't harmful for him or anything like that

    This happened a few weeks ago, to last night, and again tonight.. Chongus (my female rat) jumps violently around the cage as if something spooked the life out of her. I have to get up and speak to her for her to calm down. I picked her up thinking she was wanting to play and she did not move...

    Over the past few months I’ve noticed scabs on my rats belly, Dash, and thought maybe it was barbering from his buddy, but they never heal and just get worse. I even separated them but it has nothing to do with Bolt injuring Dash. The scabs have mainly been above his legs and he also has one...

    My oldest rat is from a pet shop and so was her sister, her sister had a massive tumour on her lower stomach and later died of a brain tumour, so I know that they have bad genetics most likely because of how they were bred. The oldest that is still alive has had a respiratory issue ever since I...

    Hi. I went on a walk with my dog and saw a little carrier. A cop pulled over because the women who's house the rats were by reported (nice little lady) I stopped and told the cop if they need a place to stay I sure as heck have one! So I brought them home and put them in a temporary home I had...
