Cute! Though, I'm going to be humming that bloomin' song all day now!

 

[sonoma]

That was so cute! Your ratties are adorable!

 

[twilight]

Thanks! Yeah I know that song can really get in your head

 

[Poppyseed]

Very cute!

Question, what's with Daddy's bald spots? I'm just curious. Is he an older ratty?

 

[kkdepp]

Very cute.....I love the song....Well I needed a song in my head for the day....Now I have one

Daddy is probably around 1 years old. So hes not really 'old'. The other rattie in the video, Ebony, is around 2. You can't see it but she has a bald spot as well. They where treated with Revolution...no change. So they are going to the vet this week.

have you considered their diet? if there is too much protein they may get itchy and hair will fall out.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE that song! the movie was so cute!! that was awesomeness lol.

Well considering they are fed Harlen blocks (2014), I don't see how it could be their diet. *shrugs*

i thought they recently changed their formula and now have higher levels of protein though. but i could be wrong. i don't feed that myself and have only heard bits and pieces that one of the lab block people had changed their formula and wasn't as good anymore.

According to the HT site the 2014 still has 14 % protein, the 2016 still has 16 %, etc.

maybe it was a different brand or i misread something. i could have sworn one of the lab blocks formulas had changed though.... ah well, i'll mark it up to being groggy from the evil head cold.

14% should be fine. but is that all they get? have you been giving them chicken bones more often or nuts or something else with protein as well? some rats are more sensitive to protein then others so it may be affecting these two more then the rest of the mischeif.

or it could be something else entirely too. its just a thought.

Nope, I havn't. I really don't know what it is. Thats why they are going to the vet tomorrow.
