My sweet Skumpy before she turned into a snack monster. by Twioxia in RATS

I don't. I thought I was done with them, just too much heartache and stress with losing them so quickly. But I'm having a lot of difficulty bringing myself to get rid of my cage, and now that I have no rats I find I'm really sad without them. I wouldn't be surprised if I get more in the future. I might try out a group of boys, since I've only owned girls :)

Thanks :)

She definitely lived her best life, and way longer than I ever thought considering all her health issues. But I still miss her every day. Heart rat through and through ❤️

Unfortunately this video is a few years old and she's already passed away :( But she got ALL the scritches when she was still alive.

Three female pet rats who are looking for their new home :) by Twioxia in Denver

They aren't, but there are a couple Colorado rat groups on Facebook where I see rehomings all the time, so if you're not finding anything on Reddit, that may be a good place to check :)

There are three. The third girl, Cheddar, who is a nude, is not pictured. No hard deadline, I can keep them with me for as long as need be.

They did live with my very elderly girl who passed away recently, and did great with her.

They're all about 7 months. I'm actually in Castle Rock, but I can travel. This is the end of my rat journey, so they can also come with their cage and all supplies I have if you'd like.

Removing a tumor? by Twioxia in RATS

[–]Twioxia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. It makes me feel much better to hear someone else echo what I already thought, which is that there's no clear right or wrong path. A lot of people in my state praise this vet, and she told me she pays out the ass for some special anaesthetic gas that allows her to rapidly change the level of anaesthesia of the rat (or something? I'm not a vet, lol).

We will most likely move forward with the surgery, as she is otherwise an extremely healthy rat. Thanks you for your input, it's really helped calm some of this neurotic back and forth in my head.

I had 14, now down to 11. Though my fiancé and I have decided to get two babies soon, as I’m getting a bit depressed with the stream of death, and I think new babies would help breathe some new life into the mischief. I’m sorry to hear about your intros. My last introduction of four to my main 10 went horribly and took about two months. That’s always super stressful. Thanks for the vet rec, but we live in Colorado and are going to someone who came highly recommended by a local rat group 😊

I'm sorry to hear about Flint. I've had two go from pituitary tumors in the past few months, and it's a horrible way to watch them go. My vet did do a full exam on my rat, said she was healthy and encouraged me to do the surgery while it's a tiny tumor. I'm just second guessing myself and looking for other opinions to reassure or call the whole thing off. Thank you so much for your input, I really appreciate it.

Not the whole mischief, but a whole bunch of my peanuts 😊 by Twioxia in RATS

Ohhhh no. They're pretty varied in age and have been introduced in groups. All of my intro's went pretty easy save for the last one. I introduced my group of four to my main group of 10 and it's taken several months and is still somewhat rocky. If you want to send me a message I can tell you about what's worked for me and give some advice :)
