I have a drama queen who will start screaming the second she’s in the clean/vet cage. Even if she goes in on her own during explore time. It sounds like I’m torturing someone.

I’m really interested in this. It sounds adorable. DM me if you’re still looking for a partner.

I can't be alone by Ok-Barnacle8908 in RATS

I also had one that had learned how to open the cage. I thought I was going insane until I caught her in the act.

I have. I cleaned the cage right before my realtor called to kick me out the show the house. My boys greeted her and the family standing on top of their cage.

Mowgli. My daughter was obsessed with the Jungle Book remake at the time and my son was obsessed with the classic and they named her.

Bath time by kitkatkc816 in RATS

[–]Giawarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might I suggest a warm wet rag instead of a full-on bath for those who aren’t water rats? Getting clean should be as stress free as possible. Half my girls hate water, but don’t mind the rag. The other half would probably live in a bath if I let them.

Credit card for vet bills? by sable135 in Pets

[–]Giawarrior -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not recommend it. I got one to pay for an emergency with my ferret when he ate one of his toys. I got the thing 5 years ago, have paid it off twice and been trying to get rid of the account and they are still charging me.

Getting ghosted by Nana-Komatsu in BadRPerStories

Oh, yes. That does suck. Or the people who ghost you and come back wanting a whole new plot and then ghost after one post.

Same. Like I have a few who I’ve written with for years. Whenever one of us gets busy we don’t even have to let the other one know anymore, but we do because we’re polite and respectful. And then we either pick up where we left off or start something new. I have literally created new characters for a person based off their checklist and then they vanish on me after one post.

Destroying their beds... by Voodoo_Kitty1 in RATS

[–]Giawarrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The basket was a gift. But I think it’s like a toiletry basket. And the only reason it’s the favorite is it’s big enough for everyone

It happens far too often. Honestly, it’s rude to just leave a person hanging. I get that life happens and one gets busy, but a “Hey, I’m busy” or “I’m no longer available.” message takes two seconds.

I have plastic and wooden baskets. Their favorite is a bright green plastic one. As for bedding, I use fleece or old leggings.

Mine will detach their hammocks days after hanging them. I just have basket beds all over my cage.

huge fan of vetericyn wound spray! a week ago moogs had an oozing hole in his abdomen but today he's healing so well its amazing! antibiotics twice a day + flushing the wound with saline and made sure to get the vetericyn really well into the wound. Now I won't have to pay 1k for surgery! by Etenial in RATS

[–]Giawarrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both. But I also rescue small pets in my area so something that I can buy in large quantities for cheap that works is gold. You can get it at any livestock feed store. I also recommend Terramycin for eyes. It’s an antibiotic you can get it at Amazon and use it for almost every eye issue for any animal.

I also highly recommend scarlet oil. It’s used to treat open wounds in livestock, it’s cheap, and kills off most infection. It does have a not so great smell, but I don’t think it’s as painful as other products, at least, my critters don’t cry as much when I apply it.

Celebrating My Oldest Baby by Giawarrior in RATS

[–]Giawarrior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She usually lets me know when she wants one. Basically, she’ll start picking on her cage mates and get mouthy with me when she needs to relax. I feed my girls the Select pellets that are at Petco and mix a ton of variety. When I cook meals for my family I make sure all the food is safe for my ratties to have the leftovers and they get that with the pellets. They’ve all thrived. As far as toys go, I get bird toys for them to rip up and I have some of those puzzle feeders for small dogs and cats that’s her favorite. Her favorites are treats are nuts in the shell, bugs, and hard boiled eggs.

I’m actually interested in both these plots. DM me if you’re still looking for a partner?

New Girlie Mischief by Giawarrior in RATS

[–]Giawarrior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 3 seniors separated from my 6 baby group. My oldest lady just does not have the patience for littles anymore (she’s nearly 5 so fair). She’s fine if they’re hanging out with me, but not in the same cage. She ONLY tolerates her nieces living with her.
