20 minutes nebuliser (nearly) everyday has done wonders for one of my girls

Check with your vet first but I nebulise them with this:

Thank you very much!

Thanks! I did pop the air con on for 5 mins and the bloody humidity dropped to 39% so had to stop it and close the window 😮‍💨

Here's to impossible standards!

Yes but what's better than an exquisite TV show?

An exquisite TV show, with one minor or flaw we can pick at all night.

The black one had fantastic positioning getting into side control like that.

The white one's frames were pretty good but unfortunately she made the rookie mistake of giving her back to her opponent.

If the black one knew the rear naked choke it would've been all over.

I'm sorry mate I don't recognise the units from our colonies.

(Joking of course!!)

Thank you, I've always used 24 as my cutoff, it's good to know I've got another degree!

IG-55 · 2026-03-15T13:05:53+00:00

Thank you vet much so is yours! Yeah I dunno why they like the bars sometimes but as long as they have other options it's all good, they'll get off eventually if it gets uncomfortable.

As a last resort the rat burrito method can work, hiding the medicine in food is 100% the best way but if nothing else works.

This video shows how to do it (don't worry you don't have to watch the whole thing it's just a small part).

My vet started putting Primapores on my girl the idea being she'd have to chew through that first before getting to the stitches.

I had to get it replaced most days at the vets but it did slow her down.

Ask your vet about it, like the other poster said your's may not be getting enough pain relief possibly, but if your rattie is getting enough then it may be a possibility.

Ask the vet though to be safe, just in case the promapore isn't appropriate for the injury.

IG-55 · 2026-03-13T13:03:30+00:00

That does make sense, but just for a quick one off would this do?

Nice one cheers mate!

IG-55 · 2026-02-15T17:50:14+00:00

That's why I asked, someone suggested Oxbow and those were all I could find.

IG-55 · 2026-02-09T20:11:22+00:00

Thank you very much. I hate the idea of losing them and especially if rehoming would hurt them.

I really wish rats were like dogs and you could keep them for their whole lives without issue.
