    Last week, a friend gave me their rats due to them not being able to take the boys with them on their move. They seemed to be doing well and adjusting well.

    My rat Sage had her first litter in march 30th, she had 12 babies. They were doing great up until Tuesday when my roommate realized four babies were dead. Sage is in a cage with her cybil and she has a super mellow temperament so I know she wouldn’t do anything. Anyway I decided to take the...

    Over the last few days I've noticed my rat Moishe seems bored of her Oxbow (yes I give her greens and fruit every other day.) But I feel like she seems underweight. The last few rats I have had have been on the chunkier side and males. She's about 9 and a half months old and is a very active...
