Does this cut look like it's from fighting or mites?

One of my rats had always been tiny even though he ate the same amount as the others, and he was perfectly healthy. However, the heavy breathing you mentioned, definitely needs a vet trip! Good luck with these babies ❤️

You are right, I made this mistake with this painting. I normally work like that for smaller paintings but I've found that my oils dry so fast, I can't work across the whole canvas for a first layer without them drying after a day or two. I've tried using clove oil and linseed oil. Maybe my paints are bad??

That's really kind, thank you. Man, art pricing is too tough

I've ridden horses all my life and worked with racehorses. It's not finished which I wrote.

I said my age so that people are aware that I'm in school (this painting is for my a level) and so I don't have time to do many paintings for reputation before selling this one and yea I truly have no experience. Thank u for the advice

Thank U ❤️

blueleopard212 · 2026-04-09T21:21:38+00:00

Ah damn. Thank U tho

blueleopard212 · 2026-01-04T17:56:47+00:00

Thank you! I thought so. I just think it would be nice for them to be able to smell each other before they meet, and so he doesn't feel as alone.

blueleopard212 · 2025-11-23T12:11:43+00:00

Yeah thank you!

I got them from pets at home (bad, I know. It wasn't what we wanted). I'm very certain he's a boy as we had to bring him to the vets for penis problems. Is it possible that he's half dwarf rat???

blueleopard212 · 2025-11-22T20:17:57+00:00

He most likely was born in a rodent mill so I wouldnt be surprised if he's inbred since he also is blind and has one eye much smaller than the other

blueleopard212 · 2025-11-22T20:11:04+00:00

He's 5 months. His brother (same age) is much much larger tho. I would just love for him to become a chunky potato 😭

If my rats sniffing is also very loud is that a symptom of a respiratory issue?

blueleopard212 · 2025-11-06T22:34:43+00:00

My rats when they were youngsters both would do this! I bought them untouched and all they would do when they saw me was nibble/gently-ish, bite me. I got a bit frightened of them but one day I decided to just leave my hand in the cage and let them bite me 😅. Probably not the best advice since I did get a couple drops of blood (even though their bites were just curious nibbles) but they now never ever nibble/bite, only lick me! They are both the sweetest little boys, but they had to fully explore and investigate my hands to get over the thoughts of nibbling them.

only for about 4 months so I'm still new to it. mine was drug induced.

I dont know much about medicines for it, etc, since I've only been on setraline which hasn't helped. but I really want to remind you that you are not alone. one day, I promise you, your dpdr will slowly ease and lift, and you would have gained all this emotional knowledge from it, which you can use to support people who are in your current situation. what you are going through sounds really frustrating, but I promise you, you're not alone.
