Hi guys,
I'm curious about this topic... I've read so much about cancer appearing in rats that I'd like to know what age you typically see it (if it will be an issue with your rat)? Is there a typical age, or is it just random? My 2 of my 6 are close to 1 year old, with the others being about 8 months... I have not seen any signs yet, so was just wondering if they had not reached the typical age for this to become evident or not. I know some strains of rat are more prone to it than others, so I'm sure that is a factor as well. I do not know the history of mine (2 are petstore "feeders" and 4 are rescued pups from a mother dropped off at my local petco).
I'd appreciate any feedback and /or insight on this issue.
Thanks!
