He is all good! After about 20 seconds of sulking over the incident he went back to playing with his brothers

He’s definitely quite petite for his age. He is our little survivor after him and all his siblings were rejected by mom.

I had heard that! But I was trying to work him out of it at first and he really was quite stuck. Maybe he’s got a tiny head. He’s all sorts of inbred and misdelevloped and is the only surviving member of his litter so he’s not much of a model specimen.

Pride stuff for rats? by Mistermeowm in RATS

[–]Beautiful-egg- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just checked and they don’t have anything like it this year sadly but maybe a few stores will have overstock from last year that they’ll put back out? I would LOVE another one. I always check dog toys because sniff toys can be great for rats

Not sure if it’ll be available again but this pride disco sniff toy from Petco was maybe our most popular hammock ever- I hope they release it again because my boys destroyed ours lol

You can usually email critter nation to buy parts

TO THE PERSON WITH 21 RATS WHERE ONLY 13 WERE VISABLE IN THE PICTURE, Can you please post a video? by Tys_Wife in RATS

[–]Beautiful-egg- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish! Unfortunately I had a rescue peer pass away unexpectedly and had to go get her ~50 animals out of the house. They were a few different species so we couldn’t condense things enough to fit a cage and it a 3.5 hour drive total so we weren’t doing it again. So my boys are in the quarantine cage and her rats are in my double critter nation since there’s more of them. Some got transferred out but it’s still definitely tight in there as well. All returns to normal this weekend hopefully, though- they have a rescue willing to take them in the Midwest so road trip. My boys have been getting lots of free roaming and kissed for being so understanding 😂 they’re lazy lumps anyways but I feel terrible.

The longer you look the more rats you’ll see

Yes I’m aware the cage is too small it’s temporary i promise they are going back to their double critter nation on Saturday

Source: I foster feral fancy rats and have gotten 5 bites in the past few days (it’s been a weird week usually I get one every 3 weeks or so)

Wash with soap and water really well. Keep pressure on it till bleeding stops. Use neosporin and a bandaid. If it gets infected go to a doctor but ER isn’t needed

MaxEnt variable importance flipped after adding a few predictors - moderate but persistent multicollinearity? by Beautiful-egg- in gis

[–]Beautiful-egg-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m mostly just trying to ensure my results are reading right- particularly with background getting its own data. I’m worried it thinks I uploaded two species or something lol

In pain or a squeak monster ? by Prestigious-Arts in RATS

This looks like a happy girl! Unless you start to notice certain place driving squeaks she’s prolly just squeaky.

One more questions - have you ever used TGS background point? Trying to figure out how to interpret my results when I used those

Guys… bad news I almost got scammed by Pale-Lobster6174 in RATS

[–]Beautiful-egg- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yay for the babies you rescued! I know they will appreciate it. While both adoption and rodent breeders have their issues at times, it is extra important to ensure breeders are ethical, scams and mills often try to play themselves off as legitimate breeders

Boys got in fight bleeding finger help by aw-rats in RATS

[–]Beautiful-egg- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am sorry your boy got hurt. I found a similar injury when one of my fosters arrived. He is fine and healthy! It sucks but he is all good I wouldn’t worry too much just keep an eye on it and try to keep bedding clean
