About a week ago my brother and I got our rats. I chose a seemingly very healthy rat and against my advice my brother chose a Blue hooded dumbo that was sneezing... alot. Any ways the shop owner overheard me talking to my brother about how mabye he should pick a diffrent rat and she said that earlier that day one of her new employs accidently put pine bedding into the rat cage and that she would quite sneezing as soon as we took her home. I had heard that pine was bad for rats but never knew why so when she said it just made some rats sneeze it seemed to make sense. So we took her home and at the time they were just cute harmless sneezes and a week later she is still sneezing, just less, some time I can hear her breath while other times she seems fine, and my other rat is starting to sneeze! I am super worried and feel really bad about not going with my gut and making my brother chose a diffrent rat!
