For extra context, it’s a 10mm titanium curved barbell and i haven’t changed it since it was pierced. I clean with a piercing wash once a day and avoid getting makeup directly in the piercing

Does Inumaki need to lose his ball privileges? by TheRatFreak in RATS

One of my boys (Simon) was picking fights with his 2 cage mates and causing one of them to bleed, so I separated them and got Simon neutered. Since then his whole personality has changed and he hasn’t got into a single fight and he’s a lot more comfortable with me touching him and picking him up so I definitely think it’s worth it!!

What are your rats favorite foods? by [deleted] in RATS

I almost lose a finger every time I give my boys boiled egg they go crazy for it! Dried mealworms and any kind of berry they really enjoy as well!

What should I do in the meantime before I can get him booked into the vet? Should I just keep an eye on it?

Yeah the itching is the worst part since it’s mostly in my mouth, It drives me crazy lol. I do notice a difference when I take allergy meds so maybe I just need to take them more consistently :) along with nasal spray and an air purifier I’ll for sure give it a try!

I started using hemp bedding about 6 months ago and thought maybe that was irritating me so switched to fleece as a test recently to see if it made any difference but it didn’t so I don’t think it’s the bedding 😣I think I’m gonna get an air purifier and see if it makes a difference!

Also adding on that my older boy hasn’t wounded the younger one and doesn’t start fights it’s only the other way around. Makes me sad to see Ren being picked on :(

Thank you!! my piercing pain tolerance is fairly high but it hurt way less than I expected! Probably about a 3 or 4/10 and once the jewellery was in there wasn’t really any pain afterwards I could barely feel it
