This was Squid’s first ever walk, I think it’s safe to say he enjoyed it very much, judging by his hops ofc!

Anyone know where I can get him a cute sweater/clothes?? I know a good ole sock with some holes cut out works fine but I want him to look cute!!

Hoje eu adotei esse filhote de rato Twister, ela é fêmea

Comprei na Cobasi, e ela estava junto a um macho (dia 21 vou ir a outra Cobasi pegar uma outra fêmea para companhia)

Quando estava no carro, ela começou a fazer esses barulhos parecidos com soluços e dar uns gritinhos

Esse vídeo é dela fazendo esse barulho enquanto eu arrumava a gaiola. Isso é normal? Por ela estar estressada? Ou pode mostrar algo? Ela ainda não tocou na comida e nem na água, desde 16 hrs (já são 19 hrs)

Os: ela também está estatica, só explorou um pouco e depois voltou pro mesmo canto, continua fznd o mesmo barulho

For our first published game, we chose to have a Rat as the protagonist.

Perhaps this comes as no surprise to you (a friend who owned a rat had already warned us about this): outside of a circle of true enthusiasts, like this community, rats don't receive as much love.
So here we are, hoping that some of you will be happy to discover this character ^^

setting it up and moving them today !🥰

Hi all!

I got two pet store rats yesterday. One of them won’t come near me, but he’ll come out and explore while I’m in the room but a safe distance away.

The other comes out even when I’m nearby, though still skittish. Today, I offered him a cracker. He sniffed like he was going to take it, and then pushed his bedding towards me. I know this means he isn’t ready for close contact or wants privacy, but could it be a sign that he’s starting to trust me by pushing the bedding towards when my hand is in the cage instead of just sprinting away like he did before? Is it a positive step that he just pushed the bedding but still sniffed my hand and the cracker instead of just immediately sprinting away from me?

Hi all. So our Penny has some gunk in her ear. The vet said we should clean it with cotton, but it's not particularly effective. Has anyone ever used olive oil to treat an ear problem in a rat? It works for my ears, so that's why I'm curious if it would work on a rat.

This is my rat Skittles she is a year old and beautiful! Oh and she loves eating Skittles.

My dwarf rats boo, star, moon, sprinkles 🌙✨🩷

So about 3 months ago I brought 3 girls home from the local pet store well they said they had the boys separated from the girls however about 2 weeks after getting them one of my girls was obviously preggers! So I separated her just in time she went into labor about 2 days after I separated her from her sisters! Unfortunately the birthing was difficult for her and I had to take her to veg ER for pets! She had what they called dystopia and had to have surgery to get the babies removed! None of the babies survived but Donut did while she was under the knife they spayed her as well! We brought her home in a full body cast and kept her seperated til she healed which she did just fine! She was back to her old self within a week and took all her meds without an issue! However there was one issue which is what I’m asking bout here today! And I did take her back to the vet for a check up and they said it was completely normal! Donut started losing fur fast! First just where the cast was then around her eyes and face! And not a little and I had her seperated from her sister still so it was not barbering! I’ve since taken her back to the vet a third time and they said it was so normal it had a name! She called Post Surgical Shedding! But it’s not seeming to stop or slow down she is starting to look like a naked mole rat! Does anyone have any experience with this phenomenon? Is it permenent?its hard to get clear pics even though I have the latest iPhone so I apologize in advance for the blurry pics!

hey!

I'm a new rat owner, I want to ask a question about the rat I have. All day she moves and jumps like she was anxious, I don't know if it's because I just got her like almost 2 weeks ago or it's because she feels lonely without a companion (I was hoping to get her some companion, but the vet told me that since she's like a month old we should wait until we know for sure she's female or male) or it's because she's young and has a lot of energy.

She runs all day, climbing everything and when I open the door of her cage she "bites" me (I put it between "" because it doesn't hurts, I barely feel anything) I don't know if it's of exitment or if she hates me or it's scared.

Please if someone could help me to understand more what's she's feeling or how to help I would be glad.

Thanks.

He is known for never sitting still so sorry for the probably bad pictures lmao, but I have my son Kiwi here and I’m wondering if the darker brown on his sides with the white hairs mixed in is his adult fur coming in

There’s no litter box for now but I’m planing to buy one in the next few days, pee rock is already there with a tray underneath. There is also like 3 hiding house that are not visible underneath the paper.

So some how a rat got into our home. We were able to live trap her, and we have discovered that she was definitely someone's pet who dumped her. We live in the country and I have no clue how she evaded the dogs and stray cats to get here. Well we got her a 3 tier cage and an igloo to sleep in. We have some paper towels and an old tissue box. Can anyone give advice on how to make sure she stays happy and healthy. Iv never owned a rat before but have handled them. She lets me give her scratches and iv picked her up twice for a small amount of time. TIA🐀

Que espécie de rato é essa? O que fazer? Onde levar?

Me ajudem estou perdido.
