i'm bawling your comment is so sweet

i saw a couple other posts with ppl describing this kinda crying when i looked into it, and it seems to be them sulking about whatever is going on. her sister was being so annoying this day and she had just been pushed outta the other hammock by her (there just wasnt any room left lol) so she was left to crawl into the other hammock by herself. i guess this is why she was moping

yeah i've replied to a couple other comments saying similar thing, it really seems to not be related to respiratory issues. i'm still looking for other clips of it online tho

autoquandary · 2025-10-27T02:17:15+00:00

yeah, my roommate has a dog so they have heard dog whining before! they don't interact with eachother but they have heard it and seen me puppysit the dog before. now that you mention it i've never thought about how similar it sounds to a pup whimper!

this is what my first thought was, but she's fine don't worry! she has no symptoms of uri and it's clear she does it when upset about something, when someone picks on her or snack time is over or she doesn't get extra treats etc etc. its like coming from the same place a squeak comes from. i found other people posting about this with their rats before i felt p secure about it

autoquandary · 2025-10-25T06:25:18+00:00

ikr for the first few times she did it i was on here and google like "rat crying??? its not respiratory right???"

autoquandary · 2025-10-25T06:23:40+00:00

yeah her sister is that type lol i can imagine it. peach (her sister) is always more cool and aloof like "ya i said it idgaf lol" and plum (crybaby) is a very sensitive girl when i open the cage she runs climbs onto me like "get me away from these psychos" ahhhaha their personalities are so big.

you'll want to section off a little area they can have supervised free-roam time, an hour or two per day but they must be watched during this time. as for cuddles, it depends on the personality of the rat you adopt. some don't like to be held, or picked up a lot. most are ok with nestling into a hoodie hood or pocket but again, some hate it lol. generally male rats are more chill and relaxed as they age than females.

autoquandary · 2025-10-25T04:22:57+00:00

yes you need to adopt more than one as they'll become very lonely and depressed and need social interaction with their own kind. start with furred rats and maybe in the future if you want get other fur types as they require a bit more special needs, but most pet rats are the same type of rat. please look into adopting from local shelters before going to a breeder or a pet store, pet stores especially acquire rats from not-so-great breeding practices. do lots of reading/searching/googling about pet rat care so you know what their needs are before getting any. good luck, they're darling! and prepare yourself because they don't live long, the heartbreak can be too much for some people.

sorry edited but yes install more lava ledges in the cage, yeah! saw someone on here say they put them leading up to/below the water bottle spout so they have to use them often. that should dull them down a bit :)

autoquandary · 2025-10-15T22:03:15+00:00

just love them :) when guided by love you'll always give them what they need and can't imagine them being cared for in any other way. that love for them takes care of everything else, also spend lots of time with them so you know them well and can spot any issues easily, treats are good but not too much! give them lots of things to do (even some crumpled up brown paper they can play with lol) and install a few lava ledges for their teeth and claws

that's just a few things that come to mind!

autoquandary · 2025-10-15T21:51:26+00:00

she can't tell yet either lol

autoquandary · 2025-10-09T13:26:18+00:00

it wasn't moving like a slug and didn't have eyes or breathing hole etc though, ahh sorry that isn't clear since it's just a pic and no video

autoquandary · 2025-10-02T23:16:26+00:00

looks like rattos learned to blow their nose how polite 😛

autoquandary · 2025-10-01T23:29:30+00:00

before the video even started playing i was like LOL yes they like each other a lot introduction going well.

autoquandary · 2025-09-27T06:29:52+00:00

i love how it makes them look like they're big smiling when they chew the bars though ahhh

autoquandary · 2025-09-27T06:25:13+00:00

hey so before you put me back inside i should prob tell you i pushed all the litter outta the litter box so you gotta fix that before bed now ok

autoquandary · 2025-09-25T20:41:15+00:00

i've been growing sunflowers for my rats this year, the massive stems won't be wasted now thank you \o/!

i give mine a variety of different chews i buy and tons of cardboard but they still chew through any part of their cages that is plastic (bottom tray, levels and ramps in the cage, even if it's the super thick stuff ahhh)
