I've already lost one of my boys to myco related illness. Of my two hairless twins Skinner and Melon, the latter currently has issues with myco. He's on ABs and will be for the remainder of his life. With the two they were born close enough to identical that I had to do a careful body...

Skinner: "Now I lays me" Skinner: "Teehees" Skinner: "This looks like a job for emergency pants!" Skinner and Melon "TreatsTreatsTreatsTreatsTreats.." Skinner and Melon Front to Back.

Boy and am I excited! I have been busy with school and all and have not had rats in the fam for about 3 years. Sweetie and Butterz (the dogs) passed away within that 3 years and I'm now down to Peaches (the English Bulldog). So of course, my family seemed a little lonely, but hey! We tried to...

Hello everyone! I guess I just wanted to introduce myself since I'm new here. I'm a rat owner and lover, and stumbled across this website while looking up info on myco in rats... I have read a lot of the forums in here and thought I would join in when I have something worth saying, but decided...

I am really struggling with my little double rex hairless Izzy. She seems great. She popcorns more than any non-baby rat I've ever seen. She plays. She cuddles. She explores. She eats great whenever she gets the chance. She has no sign of tumors, respiratory distress, or parasites and she never...

Well we have a new addition. We so do not need more rats, but I just placed nine babies, so the house is a little less hectic. this guy is a double rex hairless with a black face patch just like our Izzy. A lady from a myspace group I go to contacted me and basically said that he was very...

Well we have our breeding project complete now. Here are the pics of the lucky ratties that we'll be breeding when they are old enough. This is Lecter, cocoa and cream dumbo male with ruby eyes about 12 wks old These are Lecter's big pretty pointed elf like dumbo ears This is Quinton our...

Ok,so I've recently gotten a hairless dumbo rat,Lulu.I know that the room needs to say warm and stuff,but this is my first hairless and I was wondering about more info on them and advice from other hairless owners.Thanks!

wWell I haven't gotten Buddy's friend just yet. but on my bf's next day off we are going to a petstore beacuse they have hairless ratties. So since I have a min before I get one I decided to make sure I have and know everything required to take care of one since they are a little different from...

I thought she was healthy, no signs of being sick. I got home late last night, and went to feed her, but she was dead. She was probably just over a year old. I'm really going to miss her. No more rats for me anytime soon, though.

hi everyone. I was just reading an article that said that rats have belly buttons. I have two hairless rats and, much to their dismay, I flipped them over and searched their bellies for one...but couldn't find any signs! I'm very curious about this...does anyone know anything about rats and...

I lost one of my hairless ratties today. My beloved Ringalo.He was living on pine in a tiny cage at a pet store for over a year with his brothers and me and my cousin went and got those hairless rats out of that store,so they could have a good life.He was a happy go lucky little rat,always...

Judy's skin is getting dry, and without her sister to groom her, its a bit gross. any ideas on how to moisturize her?

I got one from Michelle Day today! Thank you for filling my mail box!

hi there! I have two boy hairless ratties, about seven months old. they have both recently begun to have very dry, flaky skin. I put on some baby lotion and they seemed to stop scratching for a while but did not show any longterm effects. I have been slowly phasing them from Nutriphase to a...

Here are some new pics and a video of Jake with my other two hairless ratties.They accepted him right away. As you can see he is still quite skinny and he is cut up,because Jack attacked him.He is being treated tho.He seems to have a little more enrgy today.He appears to be getting better...but...

Here are the fuzzbutts and the nudebutt! Still no names! This guy has cataracts...you can't really see in the pictures tho.They are all old ratties though. The black guy. The blue dude who isn't doing so well right now! :( More coming....

I am taking in 6 ratties tommorrow. They actually belong to Dawna (GeishaGirl),but due to some problems she has to find them a home.I agreed to take them,even if it is just temporary. I will be taking them in tommorrow. They actually used to be mine anyway,as babies.They were bred by me a long...

I've just gotten home to the most disgraceful and enraging thing ever :mad2: winds are easy 25mph today and it can't be more than 60 outside. When I get home it pitch dark and my car almost runs over a cage! and guess what is inside?? a skin & bone double rex rat. I thought he was dead!! No...

Ok so for the last 2 days Missy has been making some weird noises! Its as though she is talking but i didnt think ratties were very oral? She makes a kind of grinding chattering sound its VERY strange! Do you think i should be worried? :rolleyes:
