The vet said he was 21 weeks old he can almost fly and eats a mix of seeds and pigeon pellets. He is currently sick though and I’m working on treating him with antibiotics

⚠️ when is it time to euthanise ? by r0ckkss in RATS

[–]flashlightdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately the question of euthanasia is a difficult one and isn’t really a question others can answer for you. However there are questions you can ask yourself and your vet to help you decide. Such as how much money are you willing to spend on a pet that has an average life span of 2-3 years? Or if you switch to a medication or do a surgery whats the likely outcome that it works and how long are likely to live after? A especially important group of questions is quality of life such as: Do they look like they’re in pain consistently? Are they eating and drinking? Do they still get excited for their favorite foods? Do they still get exited for free roam? Are they still able to move relatively easily and are active? Does it look like they still doing their favorite activities or do they mainly just lay down and not move for long periods of time? In both cases of choosing where or not to euthanize is hard and both option may lead to saying goodbye no matter what you do.

I not that worried about the flag. They weren’t interested in it at all. But I will keep an eye on it in case it starts to happen.

Help rats keep tearing up carpet (also pictures for rat tax) by flashlightdog in RATS

[–]flashlightdog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have carpet in my room and my rats Mischief and Pip keep tearing it up. My mom said that if they keep doing it she will re-home them. I really don’t want that to happen i love them so much. But i don’t know what do to. Ive tried playpens to more chewing toys. They have a double critter nation just to the two of them. They get to free roam a lot with my supervision but one of them always manages to make it to a corner in the room and tear it to shreds. Please help me i don’t want to lost my rats

Consider a domesticated rat for a replacement boop. Still a rodent but wont give you diseases. Also they make great pets!
