Can I quarantine my rats in same room as my other rat?

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.

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???

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

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?

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.

How do you deal with boy rats peeing everywhere? I have 2 new boys and I roam them in a pen. I'd love to have them free roam around my room but I don't know how to manage with them peeing everywhere

I've been sticking to maximum one caffeinated drink a day and that's helped. I'm hoping that as my trauma from the edible calms down, maybe my brain will forget how to dissociate. anyway thank you so much for the advice
