I am asking this for a girl who, I wouldn't call a friend, just someone I see every so often because we have like friends. I got all the information from her and promised I would ask the rat board for advice. She bought a rat to feed to her snake. She noticed that it sounded stuffed up and...

So about 2 months ago, my son Brandon's pet rat Josh started acting funny...he looked as if he had head tilt, so I took him to the vet. The vet said that although his ears weren't bad, he looked to have a little bit of an infection starting. He put him on Baytril and sent us home. Well, the...

I've been doing some research and I'm pretty sure Roy, my bunny, has developed wry neck (also known as head tilt). I'm going to take him to a vet tomorrow, but is there anyone from the vancouver (canada) region here that can recommend me a good rabbit vet? I've been told that Dr. Brondwin at...

Just wanted to post some pictures of Marla we took yesterday. She's so silly! And Lucy wouldn't have any of it, so she's not in any of the pics. Such a snot! Hehe... Enjoy. :D I might post more later. :D Later. :)

My bunbun has, since I got her 2 months ago, occasionally shaken her head or ears, and I'm wondering if this is anything to be concerned about. I see her do this probably once or maybe twice a day. She had her checkup at the vet 2 weeks after I got her. Doc checked her ears and said they were...

Just out of curiousity,what do you prefer? Male rats or female rats? I love them both,but must say I prefer males.I love how laid back and lazy they are,but every now and then get really playful and excited.I love it!They also seem a tad more affectionate! Females on the otherhand can be...

A couple days ago, I ate meat again for the first time in a really long time. I've been having so many health issues and I think they all just caught up to me last week. So now I started eating meat again and I think slowly, I've been getting better. I feel really bad doing this, but I think I...

Neil lived in a purple palace with a purple castle to sleep in. He raced around his cage at top speed, sending bits of litter out the corners as he pealed out. Neil loved cantelope, blueberries, cheerios, broccoli, and peppers. When he ate watermelon the juice ran down the corners of his mouth...

Does anyone know what causes young rats to wobble uncontrollably?:(

I was hoping some one might have advice or comfort... We have a whirled Guinea Pig named Neil. He's a year and a few months and a total sweetheart. He's been sick for months now, with a persistant sniffly nose and sneezing. We're seeing the vet that everyone agrees is the top pig expert in...

I have several piggies and a few urgent questions so, sorry if I take a while. I recently purchased a mom and baby pig and I noticed that the mom sorta lays on her side when I hold her cradled in her arms. Also I tried putting them in a bigger cage and when she stood up on her hind legs she...

I have 7 guinea pigs, 1 finch and 1 fish. I'd like to ask all you guys if you'd pray for them...1 of the twins seems to be losing a little fur and another has an inner ear infection. But praise God, its all for my good and his glory. (If you knew me, you'd know I'm real emotional with animals. I...
