    Hello!! I’m a first time rat owner and have run into Some Problems. I got two rats at a pet store (not a chain) that got their rats from local reputable breeders.

    Hi friends. My rat Bean passed away recently, which has been very hard on both myself and her BFF, Baby.

    Hi! Backstory: So I've always known my rat Spleens as a sweet and energetic girl, but I knew she needed a friend so I got her one. I accidentally got a male as I was so excited to get another rat I didn't check properly. Long story short, he's been neutered so I'm not worried about mating. My...

    So, I have a fancy rat that recently lost her sister and have been on the hunt for a new friend for her for quite some time. Well, I finally found a female rat that was right around the same age and went to pick her up. Upon getting her home I noticed that she’s a bit smaller than my fancy...
