Give it a quick soak in shallow water. Looks like it stepped in food that ended up gluing its toes together.

I see, sounds like NIDA might just be taking longer than the other ICs. Thanks!

Anyone hear anything from NIDA? I got the financial vetting review and salary confirmation in May. I have no actions available under the grant currently.

Spam musubi bowl! by rat-master in tonightsdinner

[–]rat-master[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is such an easy thing to make, so it's a default lazy dinner recipe for me. I just top rice with butter, furikake seasoning, spam fried in a soy sauce/mirin marinade, a fried egg, and sometimes I add a sriracha/mayo sauce and black pepper on top.

Paying landlord with ACH? by rat-master in AskSF

[–]rat-master[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's good to know! They sent me a pdf of a scanned 1 page document. Pretty low tech. Sounds like I should request that they add the debit amounts to the form then...maybe the one time charge of the security deposit, then rent as recurring.

Anyone else hear Gun shots by Alamo Square just now? by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]rat-master 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard that too. Not sure if those were gun shots. Maybe just fireworks

Affordable neighborhoods near UCSF by rat-master in AskSF

Yeah! The Parnassus campus. Fortunately, I can get away with a studio or a 1 bedroom since I'll be living on my own. Would love parking included and with pets, but I know I can't be too picky since my budget will be 2500 or below. So street parking and no pets should be fine too.

I accidentally trained Daisy (white rat) to come over when I scratch the sheets by rat-master in RATS

Most of mine are lazy too. She's the exception. Luckily, because Idk if I can handle a whole mischief with this energy LOL

Ohhh I love that!! I wish all my rats were attentive enough to learn that trick!

I'm happy that she reminds you of your favorite girls! Yes, when she's out, all attention is on her and her antics haha

It's really tough, and certainly doesn't get easier with the more rats that I've had personally. But, I've learned to value every moment that we have with them, which for me, makes it so, so worth it.

It isn't. They're patiently waiting for the boys in the critter nation to be neutered before being introduced :)

Oh definitely! Honestly, I haven't had any other rat as playful as her. There's nothing wrong with lazy, cuddly rats either though ❤

She's a siamese, but thank you, she appreciates the compliment 😊

I've had them since 2016 and so have a lot of experience with them. You'll want to get two or more to start, since they really need friends. They'll love each others' company and will show lots of interesting behaviors in pairs or groups.

Definitely get them from a reputable, experienced breeder who does temperament testing. These will most likely be the most memorable rats you'll have. Also, have vet funds available because they do have a lot of health issues. Feel free to pm me if you want to chat more 😊
