gestation period

Hi everyone, I'm new here and looking for some advice regarding four male rats I bought on Friday. I bought them from a 'reputable' breeder in the area, however I found when the breeder arrived the way he treated the rats didn't sit right with me (picking them up by their tails etc) and the...

I am trying to rally support for laws in Illinois to be changed. My brother got us a pet skunk for a wedding gift. What a strange thing, huh? If you didn't know, pen raised (not wild) domestic skunks actually make wonderful house pets. However, after contacting my vet to get all of the...

Its past owner told me it is female. But the face, curvy body and organs seem to me to be male. I have had it for 3 months now and it hasnt mated with my female guinea. Any guinea experts who might know for sure? WARNING: explicit pics below. Not for faint of heart. :lol:

Hey everyone. I just got my first pet rat the other day, after sixteen years my parents have FINALLY let me get one! Lol! She's a young blue rat that I named Muffin!:) But I have a question, I've found all kinds of stuff on rat health, diet, toys and how to teach them to do tricks and stuff, but...

Need a Little Help - Back in August I got my nephew two so called male hamsters for his birthday...... and well, today we found out that he has a male and a female hamster (instead of two males) for there is a baby in the cage. What needs to be done now, as we were not expecting this...

Hi everyone! 1 week and a half ago I took all of my 6 new hamsters to the vet to know which ones were males and females. Once he split them in sex groups:) it was all good. The day before yesterday I noticed that one of my male hamsters was being bitted by the other 3, the others did not let him...

I've got a strange situation here. I'll give a bit of background info... My BIL has snakes. He bought some feeders, two didn't get eaten, so he was keeping them until the snakes were hungry. They were both males. One was picking on the other, the smaller one was getting weaker because the other...

:D Finally was able to get pregnant pics of Lilly on here! I'm still learning. Pics 1-4 is all Lilly. (3-4, Milly is peeking at her.) Pic 5 is Daddy, Willy. He looks so tiny compared to the girls! Lilly has all his hair groomed off from his neck. Pregnancy-over-grooming-disorder, or something...

Well, I just rescued a dwarf hamster from a home where he was neglected. I have had him for a few months and I have been doing alot of research about him but I still have some unanswered questions. I read that dwarfs are very social animals and need friends? See, I did not know that because my...

Two of my three new Roborovskis have been doing great... Unfortunately, I think one of them may be ill. She seems to sleep more than the other two and is much less friendly with me. She pretty much sleeps and hides in the tubes constantly, only coming out to get food/water and I have seen her...

I just bought an adorable albino russian dwarf, but the petstore kept the males and females togther. Now, I don't know if their were all females in the albino tank, but i think that's a little unlikely, infact, there's a big chance she might be with babies, yes? Just in case, can anybody tell me...
