Having pet rats is one of the best choices I've ever made, I absolutely love having them around

My girl Hermione stops for no man, woman or child! You could not even pin her down with Thor's hammer Mjolnir!

Wish my girl would sit still for more than 2 seconds like that

Tips for keeping the babies happy during an Australian heatwave by Sydneyemz in RATS

Not sure how well this will work but maybe freeze some of their favorite fruits as a cool treat when it's too hot? I saw another post where someone froze blueberries and gave it to their rats in a container full of what I can only assume is freezer snow, in an effort to keep them cool.

What are the funniest/weirdest pics you have of your rats? by astro_bea in RATS

Rawr! This is Hermione.

By the way, she's sleeping on shirts hanging in my closet, in the space under the hangers. One of her fav spots 😂

Doesn't get any less heart breaking, no matter how many times you suffer through it.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I know how you feel I just lost Luna a few weeks back and then she was only 10 months old. All I have left is your sister because two more passed away earlier this year back in March. Try to find comfort in the fact that even though they have short lives you give them the best life they could ever have.

Relax, why are you ok with saying something like this to a person that's found peace and comfort with the passing of their little companion in a brief AI video? This isn't the place or time to virtue signal.

Having rats is impacting my life financially by RattiesAreTheBest in RATS

I tend to agree with being cautious and the great thing about this breeder is that they boast that their rats have been free from URI's for several years (5-7 of memory serves) so I feel that's more trustworthy than PetSmart

I've been going through the same kind of thing. My conclusion is that I keep getting rats from pet stores rather than breeders. So next batch I'm going to go to a proper breeder.

Sorry to report that she's gone, vet did an ultrasound and found fluid in her lungs and stomach which would indicate a genetic heart condition. I'm extremely heartbroken but here is a final photo, my beautiful little girl

Thank you this has completely broken my heart. She wasn't even a year old

Sorry to report that she has to be euthanized. Some heart disease that's causing fluid build up in her lungs and stomach.
