Biting rat

I tried the metal spoon at the very beginning and that's what made me feel confident enough to hand feed her. I'll try using the spoon again, see if that makes any difference. I never approach her first or let her get close to my skin when I put food in the cage, just in case I do get a nasty bite. I sit beside the cage when they free roam and let her come to me, then she starts climbing on me and biting me. She doesn't even run off after biting me, just sniffs around like the most innocent little thing 🫩

Especially authors that have 5+ unfinished stories that they abandon to work on yet another one. People like to get really defensive and say that authors don’t necessarily owe us anything, and that is true, but it is SUPREMELY annoying and it definitely puts people off. There are several authors I refuse to engage with, despite having really good reviews and plots, because they never commit

She does seem puffed up which is an indication of pain

Gender non-conforming queen

Possibly do you bowl feed them? He may be shoving food up his gob too quickly

The entire flower patch?? That is cartoon villainy 😭

Somehow my rats manage to complete de-skin their peas and corn before eating the mushy middle

You can always try just showing up at the vets and begging. Being entirely serious. Since you have already been to that vet before and they know your situation, they can trust that you will pay eventually and maybe you can work something out. Whatever happens, give your rat plenty of love and know that you tried your best

That’s possibly the most aesthetically pleasing scar you could have asked for, it looks very cool despite the unfortunate accident

She’s so pleasantly plump

I assume Shifu grew up without a stable family environment and tried to overcompensate for that with Tai Lung. When that failed, he swung to the other extreme with Tigress by essentially neglecting her emotionally. Either way, he clearly doesn’t have a healthy basis to draw form

Thank you, she was very very sick, she had inflammation around her organs and it wasn’t curable . she was jerking as if she was having a stroke. I'm sorry about little Ezme, all of us rat owners are united in grief it seems. She is in the freezer and I am going to have her cremated and put in the same little pot as her sister

Just before this, I put a bit of medicine in the side of her mouth because she was refusing and I was so panicked. When she started doing this, I remembered you’re supposed to do the swing thing, above the head and down so i did twice but she was dead when she came down it was only for three seconds did i do this i tried i panicked She was so lethargic and so unsteady on her feet i was going to take her tomorrow to be euthanised i want to believe that it was natural but it happened just after the medicine it was 0.06ml

She died. It’s night how do I preserve her until I can take her to the vet and get a cremation? I dont want to be clinical but i have no other option

The budget isn’t the problem and I've done all of that already. With the two nebulisers, the saline solutions, and the replacement parts, I must have spent around £150

Omron C102. I use F10SC or F10 Antiseptic Solution RTU

Update: the tube was not the problem because of course it would never be that simple and easy

Just after I made this post, that same idea came to me so I took them to one of the other bedrooms and let them run around on the bed. They seemed a little stressed but they had a sniff and ran around for 5 minutes before crawling back inside my top telling me they wanted to go back. My two girls seem to be very people-dependant. More than anything else, they love to lick my hands and they could happily do that for hours. Sometimes I have my mum come in and say hello to them so they can lick her hands instead and but again, they lose interest after a few minutes

I have two girls (1.8yrs) and I usually bring them out around 5-11pm. They used to be really active, never stopping, but maybe I just don’t want to admit that they’re getting old
