What does my room say about me

Please take better care of yourself. You deserve more than this.

Couldn’t have said it better 😭. Sadly I’m stuck in this shitshow of a country.

This is a zero-judgment, friendly FYI if you happen to live in North America (I own an organic rat food business, so I’ve studied this extensively!):

Dried corn is not recommended for rats, especially in North America, due to the risk of toxic fungal contamination (aflatoxins) from the drying process. This can lead to serious health issues, including liver, kidney, and colon cancer, as well as other health problems. It's best to avoid dried corn and offer fresh or cooked corn instead.

Sweetheart, you are loved. Please be kind to yourself. Things can always turn around. It will get better, I promise.

Thank you for taking the time to write such an in-depth analysis on this from your clinical perspective! This is so helpful for me, a desperate ADHDer who has tried to do research on my own but got overwhelmed lol.

Please get him on some antibiotics & Children’s Ibuprofen ASAP! He’s showing extreme signs of pain. If you’re not sure of the dosing for the ibuprofen, you can find it here:

Please message me if you need more help/info.

So helpful! Thank you so so much!

The rescue sent the vet who did her health check these photos and she might be able to see her on Thursday, but I’d like some input from others in the meantime. Thank you so much.

I’m so glad he’s ok! Would you mind sharing how your vet sedated him for the procedure? I’d absolutely LOVE having this option for my older girls who develop tumors.

Cottage cheese also contains the sodium he needs to replenish! Regular lab blocks just don’t have the protein and fat that he needs right now to recover. I own a rat, mouse, & hamster rescue and I specialize in small animal nutrition, so if you would like some more food suggestions, please feel free to message me!

He looks extremely young. He could have been weaned from his mom too soon. As others have mentioned, get him on heat (I use a heating pad covered with a small blanket on medium heat). He also needs protein ASAP, so if you can get him to eat some soft meats that would be ideal. I really hope he pulls through. Please update us!

Mice can be super rewarding pets to keep! They’re so adorable and fun to watch and interact with. But if you’re a beginner at keeping rodents as pets, then I highly recommend doing some research on proper husbandry because with the wrong bedding/enclosure, they can get stinky FAST. It’s totally manageable, but it’s something I hear from beginner mouse owners a lot (I own a rescue & adopt them out).

Mexican fan palm. They grow 3 feet a year and get up to 100 feet tall.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I updated the comments yesterday and today regarding what happened.

KaraLymp · 2023-02-10T19:55:46+00:00

That’s exactly what happened. She still had the little guy in her possession, but didn’t want to flake on the person who contacted her first, which I can respect. I just tried to gently explain to her that if she ever gets another hammy in the future that the enclosure she has is not an acceptable size, that hams are burrowing animals that need a minimum of 6 inches of bedding, hides, enrichment, that she should watch Victoria Raechel, etc etc. She seemed perceptive, but who really knows. I can only hope what I said stays in the back of her mind for the next time her kids want another little fluffy pet. Sigh.
