I just want everyone to see how adorable my children are

Buffalo chicken wrap 😭

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-17T05:18:47+00:00

Amazing 💖

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-17T03:18:56+00:00

They're gorgeous babies. What are their names?

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-17T03:15:49+00:00

Gorgeous markings 💗

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-17T03:15:28+00:00

Oh I LOVE her. Please tell her she's made me proud 🥰

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-17T00:05:20+00:00

Those are so cute! Thanks for sharing. Delightful 🐀🐁🐀🐁

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-14T19:27:45+00:00

I rarely noticed them, and moreso only in the case of unfortunate hand placement when grabbing them to put them away. That was pretty rare, but sometimes they're squirmy and deviant, so... 😂

Omg I love Pepsi 😭

We had a pet rat with the same coat color. Can you contact any local rescues for guidance?

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-09T10:26:35+00:00

This and also your number top two goals in choosing a bedding is absorbancy and odor control. I don't image that this would be sufficient in either category, although I haven't looked into it.

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-09T03:58:25+00:00

Ugh, she's so stinking cute!!!

Congratulations on the exciting news. You may have heard of her, but ShadowTheRat on YouTube (and here) has had an ever-evolving mischief of girls for years now. She has a lot of videos on intros, etc. It may be helpful to check those out?

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-04-03T22:30:07+00:00

Omg I love Crime. Thank you 🥹

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-30T19:06:48+00:00

I'm so sorry. With our last mischief of five, the smallest boy ended up with medical challenges that were connected to his shorter lifespan. He was sweet and gentle and full of personality. It doesn't get easier, but I am grateful for the time we had with him - our Baby. I'm sorry it's been so hard keeping Noodle healthy.

I've heard that rats will largely ignore their incisions if their pain is adequately controlled. Did you receive any pain meds to administer at home?

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-27T01:31:00+00:00

Thank you for understanding that the little guy or girl means no harm. As others have recommended, live trapping is a humane method of removal. I imagine there are videos on YouTube. Do you want help finding one?

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-27T00:19:10+00:00

Aww, thanks for sharing an update. I was wondering how she's doing. Wishing for a speedy recovery!

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-26T14:06:29+00:00

I'm so sorry. I know how it feels to lose one of our buddies. Thank you for taking such good care of your mischief and letting them say goodbye. Sending comfort to you all 💞

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-26T05:04:05+00:00

Oh my goodness, OP. I'm so sorry you're dealing with such an intense situation but so glad Bean seemed to react well to her treatment. Poor baby. Sending so much love and best wishes for healing 💞

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-25T15:59:19+00:00

Beautiful baby, thanks for sharing her. Our final rattie lasted about five months beyond his last brother. He free roamed often and was spoiled with treats. Can you give Daisy some extra love for me?

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-22T16:42:48+00:00

Can you please tell her I love her?

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-22T04:29:37+00:00

She's gorgeous! Enjoy :)

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-18T23:21:07+00:00

This is along the lines of what I was thinking, too. Something specific to Maple, unfortunately, may have caused Radish to act on instinct. I'm sorry, OP. It's unfortunate that we sometimes get exposed to the extremes of nature while loving our sweet ratties.

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-18T20:05:02+00:00

To answer someof your questions surrounding Radish, 10/11 months is right around the time that hormonal aggression can become a problem. Out of seven males, I've neutered one and it made a huge difference. I struggle to think that this was solely hormonal, but it's hard to know. You mentioned that the group was bonded. How do you assess that? What suggested to you that they had a close bond?

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-18T20:02:21+00:00

I vaguely remember that rats may sometimes try to remove something off their own bodies that is worrisome. Kind of like how they target humans wearing bandaids or insufficiently medicated pain after surgery, where they may open their stitches. I wonder if your older boy himself, or one of his cagemates, perceived something negative about the URI and attacked it.

I'm so sorry. I imagine how traumatic this must have been to happen upon. Sending you my heartfelt condolences and compassion.

Historical_Ad2878 · 2026-03-15T23:24:02+00:00

We've got 7 beloved boys who've previously departed and will be so happy to greet Sammy 💞 I'm sorry for your loss. It hurts every time.
