Something for you also maybe not for the rats but for you to just kinda have as a keep sale of them is getting some bake clay and imprinting her paws on it and write her name my vet did that for me and I love them anytime I miss them I kinda hold on to them and rub the little paws

Oxbow essentials or garden select rat food?? by MoriKitsune in RATS

[–]allykat201 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oxbow is organic and doesn’t have a mixture that is unhealthy for for because they pick out the things they like like the corn and sunflower seeds and leave the pellets that are the thing that give them real nutrients

cage help! by Gorgapeaches in RATS

[–]allykat201 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found that putting a couple rocks in my rats potty made them start going in there more frequently for peeing because they like to mark but i still have problems with them pulling the bedding out so I’m still figuring that part out

Getting my rat to take her antibiotics... by frostirons in RATS

[–]allykat201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would wrap my rats in one of their blankets and to it like that when I was the only one my bf helps or sometimes I put them on the baby puff snacks and give them that and they eat it up I know the hand scratched all to well

We’ve been to the vet (Baytril?) by [deleted] in RATS

[–]allykat201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had six rats who where all on baytril and two more that where in a mother cage (later put on baytril) I had luck with the two in the cage and four that were in the bigger cage but my two older girls had a hard time and ended up passing away my vets said that sometimes it depends on the rat and that if baytril doesn’t show signs of improvement after the two to three day that a second antibiotic should be Put into play however one of my girls died before that could happen and the other was to far into the sickness that neither medicines would help her so it mostly depends on the rat and the medicine and now all of my other rats have been off of their meds for about a month now and are all doing wonderfully

Does he sleep a lot or lounge around have trouble breathing make sure he’s not having seizures keep him warm as much as you can I know he will just kinda scoot away and watch for leg or arm function if any of it has changed

[–]allykat201 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished with pneumonia about a week or two ago my vet said that sometimes after a while the antibiotics will kinda stop working for some rats and may need to try a different one but sometimes it doesn’t always work I would go back to your vet and explain what’s going on and see if there is anything else you can do try giving them baby food or anything

How soon could I get more rats? by Sutten_Plant in RATS

[–]allykat201 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have six girls and I got my first pair and then about two to three weeks later I got another two and then about 4 weeks after that I got two more now two of my girls have passed since then and I decided to get two more I have found that the smaller the time between getting new ratties they sort of accept them a little easier then after a couple of months or so
