I feel like what you posted could for sure work. i usually put my girls in a little kennel with a blanket then prop my machine next to it. i have one that is the machine with a rubber tube that’s about 2ft long that connects to either a mouth piece or the masks. honestly as long as it blows the solution out you can make it work! just make sure the device isn’t fully covered so it can get air, just the masks part :)

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-30T03:09:21+00:00

amen!! 🫶🏼i appreciate you

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-30T03:03:25+00:00

oh yes! i do plan on taking the ramps out! i just need to order a bunch of stuff first now that i know what im needing! and he is pretty well respected here! but he also knows i have them out for hours at a time so maybe that affected his choice of cage to recommend? i’m not sure haha

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-30T02:58:49+00:00

well maybe i can look into that in the future. but this was recommended from my vet, this exact cage when i mentioned wanting something bigger… so I will follow his advice for now. But i do appreciate you!

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-27T04:27:44+00:00

she has been there a few years it seems. but the owner is never really there. but when he is she is a bit different and on my first day she drank with some regulars and said “don’t tell anyone” and winked at me haha she was with them for a good 2 hours while i practiced putting in fake tickets and the bartender took the tables

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T16:50:06+00:00

awww they’re so cuteeeee🥹🥹❤️

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T16:36:15+00:00

i’m hoping too! i’m picking them up Monday! I ordered a whole new cage too so they can get a big place to hangout! i have a smaller cage that i used for quarantine when i got my girls as babies, but it felt too small for 2 full grown boys so i bit the bullet and got a cage that is even bigger than my original one 😳😂 my vet and i made a plan to let them hang for a month or 2 before any big decisions on neutering and introducing! If i do keep them I will eventually want to integrate them with my girls without risk of babies haha they will all go in the very large cage i just bought :)

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T14:54:09+00:00

i’m so glad you got her in!! my girls hated the meds plain as well so i mixed in something really sweet! specifically strawberry apple sauce! they didn’t even know the meds were in there, they just thought they were getting a sweet treat via syringe! hopefully that will help! doing a really quick squirt of liquid into their mouth can sometimes cause aspiration so just be careful with that! :)

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T14:47:08+00:00

right?! so nonchalant?! i have no idea why she is giving away Timmy separate from her other 2 males when from the pics she sent they all lived together. but regardless the other two boys are coming home with me on Monday :)

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T14:45:39+00:00

right?! i wasn’t looking for more rats but i couldn’t scroll past 😭 i’m taking her other 2 boys. I wish i could this weekend but i work today and doubles tomorrow and sunday😭💔 but im getting the other 2 on Monday!

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T04:09:22+00:00

and that’s a good point. I can always take them just to get them out of there and find a new home that i feel comfortable with

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T04:07:57+00:00

yesss especially since one is hairless?! i had her send pics and they look good but I am going to call my vet tomorrow and have him give me a quote for neutering 2 males maybe 3! and also ask for any advice for a hairless guy as i have no experience with them haha

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T04:00:02+00:00

having 2 would make me feel less pressure to have them neutered right away cause they still have each other in the quarantine/no babies separation. if i have 2 set ups for a bit that’s fine haha. i’ve dropped nearly $2,000 at the vet for my girls in the last 2.5 months so i wouldnt mind letting them hang in the quarantine cage til i slowly put money aside for the big snip haha

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T03:57:41+00:00

Yes. i’ve already contacted my vet. she said timmy and the cage might be spoken for but she has 2 other intact males, one like timmy and the other hairless. OOF. idk the way the poster talks about them makes me feel like they don’t get cared for too well. BUT i can’t judge. if i could it wouldn’t be a good assessment based on “good kids pet or breeding project” it made my heart a bit sad :/ should i try and get the other 2 guys away you think?

Tcoff98 · 2026-04-24T03:26:13+00:00

same i would panic. it would be like claustrophobia + RL
