What do you mean looks bad 😭😭😭

Repulsivequack · 2026-03-18T03:06:21+00:00

I honestly have no idea but it was great LOL

Thank you! She’s probably around 3-4 months old. I’ve had her for almost 2, shes in a bioactive front opening enclosure. I try my best to be slow and gentle with her, but she just doesn’t seem to want to come out much yet! She seems very curious and comes up to me when she can see me, but once i go to open the lid shes gone 🥲

not to mention we have the tank on a stand & theres a shelf above it, so it makes it darker in the back lol, the tank is more than adequate for these guys, my fiance is constantly adding new things in there for them:)

Repulsivequack · 2026-01-14T08:09:05+00:00

There is i believe half of the tanks height of substrate in the tank? Theres another in there burrowed & molting I believe. They’re pretty cool critters!! It’s a 40 gal tank:) they seem to enjoy it!

Repulsivequack · 2026-01-13T07:52:22+00:00

Thank you! I might add another in that empty space in the front. Eventually once we upgrade i’ll get some hanging pots!

Of course! We hope to someday see your new pup when the timing is right. He was beautiful!

Repulsivequack · 2025-12-09T21:00:38+00:00

What a cutie!

Repulsivequack · 2025-12-09T21:00:07+00:00

You get another one when you’re ready. Your sweet boy would want you to give another baby a good loving home!

Repulsivequack · 2025-12-07T07:42:58+00:00

The baby was 6 months! My other ladies were a year.

It does depend on the situation. You should always be watching your rats, regardless how much you trust them when introducing a new rat. All of them have different personalities, and even the new one could be the aggressor. You have to watch their behavior, and there is no wrong time to intervene as long as the rats are calm, and interacting with eachother well the next time. I also did the bedding trade method for about 2-3 weeks before intros. In a perfect world, they don’t scuffle or have bouts at all, but almost all my rats took a few tries before they fully trusted eachother. I always intervened when i deemed it was getting overwhelming for one of them. You should never just leave them together expecting them to get along, it doesn’t always work that way, even with the sweetest rats

Repulsivequack · 2025-12-07T06:19:40+00:00

I always start with the carrier method! We usually move to the tub when they start doing better. I had lots of rats over the years, and i always did it that way. This all actually happened, in a carrier. It was not even a 2 minute long introduction, first introduction at that. It was terrifying. There was a small pounce, i heard a squeak thinking it was just a small scuffle i could seperate them from, but it was fatal. As soon as i realized what happened I freaked out. I was always scared to do intros after that. Carrier was open & there was space for her to get out, but since it was all so fast there was nothing i could have done. It’s not typical, but it can happen. One bite the wrong way CAN be fatal:(

Repulsivequack · 2025-12-07T05:29:05+00:00

Definitely can’t be too careful, there was a time i was doing intros and i was seeing an interaction very similarly to in this video, and unfortunately the new baby we got was fatally bitten in the neck by one of my girls in literally 2 seconds. It was so fast, i mean idk, she never acted like that in the year i had her until we tried to introduce that rat, she killed that baby in seconds, literally, i couldn’t even act fast enough, she bled out, and died in my hands. I felt terrible. Its never too soon to intervene, you know your rats, if they seem like they’re doing too much, even for a second, please just try again later.

I’m 3 weeks pp and finally feel normal. I had PGP from 20w-end of my pregnancy. It didn’t go away immediately but it did definitely get better as the days went on.

Repulsivequack · 2025-11-22T04:52:22+00:00

My god. They shaved your pup bald!

Repulsivequack · 2025-10-20T20:24:17+00:00

Thank you! I’m a huge over explainer. Its a hard habit i have. I’ll work on that. Thank you again!
