    Originally, I had two older father and son rats, they are 2y6months and 2y2months old. A few months ago, I introduced two young brothers to them and introductions went really well. Quickly, they would all eat and cuddle together, although they often favored their original partner to hang out...

    Hello, I just got my rat Lamarr on September 1st (21 days ago from now). We do not know how old she was because she was a feeder rat (the breeder wasn’t getting back to us) but she was a small, fluffy little ball. She was generally calm and I would stream with her on my shoulder on Twitch while...

    I have a rat who is about 9 months old and her older "sister." My younger one lives for playtime--she came out earlier tonight but only bopped around for a few minutes before running back up to the top of her cage. From there, she hung about half her body/head over the edge of the cage and just...

    Rattie (-4 months old) escaped and it might be because the bar spacing is close to an inch. Is there something I can do aside from purchasing a different cage?

    I brought home 2 young rats from Petco a few days ago. They've acclimated well to the mischief but, expectedly, are still skittish and getting used to handling. I'm assuming this is why they're nippy with me (not aggressive), but was wondering if they're like cats--? I've had a cat who suckled...

    Hi I sadly have decided to regime my rats. I haven’t had them for a month even. But my mental have has taken a very serious turn where I’m barely about to look after myself and can’t do anything at all. So for the best I have decided it’s ok raven and grays best interest to go to a home where...

    Hi! So full disclosure, this is my first time owning rats so please bear with me. My partner and I recently got two 6-7 week old rats (now 8-9 weeks old). Their names are Pebbles and Cookies. Right off the bat we noticed that Pebbles is very clingy and doesn't seem to move around very much...

    So a few weeks ago I lost one of my girls out of my trio. The two remaining were having a really hard time so today I went to go pick up a new girl. I was told me was six weeks old. But when I got there, she was SO TINY! I showed her to a friend who has bred rats in the past and she told me this...

    It may be a dumb question but can a young rat be the alpha? I have 3 girls and the youngest seems to be the most dominant

    I was just wondering if my rats look healthy to you guys. Not that there is anything wrong with them, I would just like to know because I feel like some of you are more experienced than I am on rat related topics. The boys are brothers who are a little over 3 months old. I feed them Science...

    Two days ago I purchased a young rat from a pet store. I would say she's around 3 months old. I put her in her cage and gave her some cloth that smells like me and whatnot. I have been feeding her with a spoon and she lets me pet her a little but looks very cautious while I do. She's a nibbler...

    Hi, I have three rats, two are about eight months old from a breeder, and they're completely healthy (also I think they're dumbo rats but I'm not sure) and my newest rat was a rescue. I don't know exactly how old she is, but she's very little and looks young. Basically, she was a feeder rat...

    Hello! I adopted my three little boys two weeks ago from the local shelter and I have some food related questions. I'm not sure what brand of lab blocks I have as the shelter gave me some in a big ziplock bag (don't worry, I know it's rat food, I just don't remember which brand they told me it...
