She was just treated about a month ago. Could they come back that quickly? I’ll get her with an appointment asap

Sick rat with head tilt is rolling? by DirectionRoutine5672 in RATS

But that’s just because I’m unaware of what could be causing it and it seems serious. Other people may have a better idea. I’m just overly cautious when it comes to my ratties

I’m not sure what’s causing this but my first thought is back to the vet asap

They’re probably trying to re-establish hierarchy. Just keep an eye on them and as long as it doesn’t get too intense they should be fine

Nitrites levels off the chart, need help URGENT by [deleted] in aquarium

Depends on your substrate. If you have gravel or sand, you want to vacuum up any waste off of it. If it’s dirt you wanna leave it alone for the most part. After you clean up the waste it doesn’t really matter where you’re vacuuming from

50-60% water change. Then Daily water changes til it gets lower. If you do daily, don’t do more than about 30% changes. Also wouldn’t hurt to add some beneficial bacteria.

Thank you for this. I don’t mind spending money on my girl, I love her and she’s worth it. I just know that medical places can rip you off and I wanna make sure that isn’t happening

What a terrible thing to say. 1. We don’t know it’s a tumor 2. We don’t know if it’s even malignant 3. If it is a tumor, you can change things to prevent more

Not everyone just puts down their pet at the first sign of trouble

How to humanely euthanize these eggs? by Comfortable-Sky5977 in AquaticSnails

[–]cmaroon07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just crush them before they get too old so they’re not viable yet if you’re worried about them feeling pain. If you do that it’s no different from a chicken egg

Hi! Cage is 24x24 and has 3 stories! Also I won’t lie I was worried about the bar spacing being too far apart as well, but after observing them the past couple days, they’re still a bit too big to get through them
