I have nine little rittens, four girls and five boys, born on Christmas Day. I bought Mama at a pet shop a few weeks back and little did I know, she was very pregnant. Getting past the initial shock over the fact I now own ten rats, I've fallen in love with each and every one of them. Knowing...

I have a rat named Zippy who isn't full grown, I got him from a Petsmart a couple months ago and they didn't know his age so neither do I. A few days ago, I saw a Dumbo rat at another pet store and new that Zippy shouldn't be alone. I fell in love with the adorable Dumbo and decided to take him...

It's definitely time for the babies to get their first bath. Especially the boys because when we went to the vet the viewed it as new territory and marked like crazy. What is the best shampoo (or other products) that I should buy? I was thinking of doing it in the tub. How high should the...

I had someone come into work today saying their rat had babies. They didn't want it to have babies, they bought it from a pet shop two weeks ago and two days ago it had babies. They're still pink, obviously. They came asking what they should feed them and I was like 'well...just feed the mum...

I know a bit more about my newly born manrats. I'm so excited I could barf. They are two weeks old today, and they come in a litter of 11 w/ blacks, a russian blue, and an assortment of standard ear and dumbos. At this point I will likely have two black standard ear boys, but she is...

I'm so excited!! They are so sweet. I just picked them up. I have been waiting for them for a few weeks now. One of them is a dumbo and the other two have up ears. Here's a few picks. I'll be getting a ton more later on tonight.

I have been searching and searching and I can't find any ratteries in or around Nashville, TN. I am dying to get a baby rat (preferably dumbo) around 5 to 8 weeks old... the younger, the better. I grew up with rats and haven't had one for a few years now. I miss having them. Can ANYONE help?:(

About a week and a half ago a friend and I decided to save 10 feeder rats from a immenent death from a local at-home breeder. 3 of the rats were about 2.5 weeks old (had eyes open and pretty active) and 7 were about 1 week old (eyes closed). We have been feeding every 3-4 hours at this...

So I received two new rats yesterday, both from a sisters friend who wanted to give the pups away. When I got them home, however, I noticed that my little siamese dumbo rat seems to have something up with her eye. I haven't noticed it leaking or anything, it just kinda... stays shut, or squints...

Check out my beautiful newest boys,Brennan and Regan.Brennan is the agouti varieberk and Regan is the hooded. Here they are sleeping in my shirt in my armpit! Hahaha. Thats all for now.

I have two rats (both very tame), and I noticed the female was getting bigger (too big to big to squeeze thru the tubes) and I thought it was simply because I was over-feeding her (I do give them lots of treats) But when I got home from work last night, I had 9 (yes, nine) new rats. I...
