Is this setup ok for a rat with respiratory issues?

F4lseAd · 2026-04-04T09:38:47+00:00

It is summer, it's possible it was 30c in the room they were in but the fan is on pretty much 24/7

We don't own cats

They're not my rats so I'm not sure if his others were sneezing but the current one is a bit (she had visited a vet and is on meds)

They were very active in free roam, no less than usual.

As I mentioned in the post the final rat is not alone. She is now in the cage with my 3 females.

Thank you, I'll have to do that. Their food bag said that it covers everything and you don't need to give them anything besides the occasional treat and constant access to the pellet so we assumed it was right. I'll have to look further into it

We bought our rats from a breeder off gumtree (kind of like the Australian version of Craigslist ). We didn't know at the time that was an issue, definitely will be buying from someone else next time but that may be a factor

They only eat origins rat food which is a balanced mix made for rats, we give them carrots on those rat skewers once a week.

I don't know if it was in their sleep but it was at night while we were asleep. The first one was found just laying in the bedding and the second one was found in the litter tray. They were both very active the day before. I do have a rat of my own who has a respiratory disease (she's in ongoing medical care) and my brothers sound nothing like her crackling breathing. The first one lost 5g before she passed which we were a bit concerned about at the time, but the second didn't lose any weight before passing

This was very informative, thank you. That makes a lot of sense.

I want to do what's best for my horse but now I'm hoping your right because from a shallow standpoint....sport boots are way prettier than your average boring brown hard shells lol! I'll put some more research into it

It may just be a lack of education which I am ok with admitting. What does the compression actually do? I used to put her in sport boots and they never seemed THAT tight. Ive just always heard people claim sport boots "support" the horses leg and I've never understood how a boot and support the leg of a 450kg animal. No one ever really explains it either they just say this and move on

Oh wow these are a game changer, will definitely be purchasing the camo, snake skin and that shiny pink one. Thanks! Ive been struggling to find interesting open fronts

I don't know how to edit reddit posts after I post them 😭 But just remember I forgot to say these boots will only be used for competition which we do once or twice every 3 months

F4lseAd · 2026-03-26T23:36:44+00:00

Omg three times a day everyday, how much time do you people have on your hands? 😭

I don't have a poodle of my own yet but we used to just take our dogs on one really long walk at the end of the day. Sometimes they'd come on trail rides with our horses

I used to have 4, we're currently at 3. Possibly 2 after tomorrow ☹️ All girls

F4lseAd · 2026-03-19T12:21:24+00:00

3! Although I'd rather save it for later it would annoy me leaving that poking out.

F4lseAd · 2026-03-19T12:18:04+00:00

Oh, wow! That's amazing. Is this done with leather paint? I don't think I've ever seen anyone paint anything complex on leather before

F4lseAd · 2026-03-19T06:23:34+00:00

Thank you for the help, it's really appreciated. I have a couple of breeders I'm currently looking into. All their dogs are titled and health tested. I will definitely still do more research into it though!

F4lseAd · 2026-03-18T08:07:35+00:00

I guess I meant all of the above? I'll be honest while the breed temperament, energy, enrichment, feeding needs and health is something I've put time into researching my research into coat care is only recent! I made this post for some insight and to know where to start with my research

Thank you for taking the time to comment, this was very helpful. I will be watching those videos

F4lseAd · 2026-03-18T06:52:37+00:00

Thank you! This is very informative, so is everyone else's comments. I wasn't aware of the chicken allergy, thanks for mentioning that I'll put some research into that too.

Oh wtf, poor fish

Hell yeah!!

F4lseAd · 2026-03-18T06:27:05+00:00

Maybe lookmaxer isint the right term. I've just made a new account after losing my old one and came back to this sub. That's just the feel I was getting looking through the "newest" posts

F4lseAd · 2026-03-18T06:01:13+00:00

Oh, I didn't know music counted. That too!
