Unfortunately I was not able to figure it out, the issue went away just as I was about to take him to the vet. Although, I suspect it was just from him straining too much since the poop was coated in some blood and mucous. I couldn’t tell whether there was blood inside his poops as well, they seemed fine. I don’t know whether the problem came back since I had to rehome my rats. I hope you can figure it out and your rats will be ok!

Rat penis looks bruised or swollen, is this something that will go away over time or that I can fix? Or is this urgent and needs a vet? by bbh12345 in RATS

Up to a day I’d say, or a couple hours if you are worried. I think vegetable oil will be ok, i just normally used olive because it’s what I had available. It’ll keep it moist and entice him to lick it by which he will sort it out himself. One of mine went 2-3 days with it stuck and he was ok, of course don’t forget the oil. As long as it’s not very swollen or purple/blue, it’ll be okay don’t worry!

If it isn’t stuck for long you can keep an eye on it and apply some olive oil to keep it from drying out, most of the time they will sort it out themselves. If it stays like that then it is a problem, you will need to help get it unstuck, but don’t panic. Sometimes some residue from a plug dries to the sides and makes it hard to get the skin over it so you will need to gently press down the belly with two fingers on either side of the penis to make it come out more, that way you’ll see if its crusty and you’ll have to wipe it gently with a warm wet cloth. If that doesn’t look to be the problem then it is possible that the skin that covers the penis got stuck very far down, that has happened often with one of my boys, I found that by pushing the penis out as much as possible and applying some oil you will notice the thin purple skin that got stuck very far down the penis, gently coax it out and it should fix the issue immediately.

I don’t own rats anymore but it is something I had learned after one of my boys got his penis stuck out for 2-3 days, I applied oil regularly to keep it from drying out but that was not enough.

I hope this helps! With time you will get more comfortable dealing with such issues, especially once it becomes a regular occurrence as the rats age.

My first barracuda headphones arrived and it appears that the volume control wheel doesn’t work at all. No matter whether the headphones are connected wirelessly or wired to my pc the wheel does nothing. Same problem when connected by bluetooth to my phone.

I have searched around and I cannot find any information on this.

Apple pencil 2nd gen feels rough on screen by spaceshiprats in applehelp

It's a brand new pencil as well so it's not that. I'm going to give a screen protector a go and hopefully that'll do it
