    My Chi/Pug mix ripped open my 50# bag of lab block last night and ate goodness knows how much. I woke up and put my leg and foot in vomit first thing this morning. His stomach is so bloated. Lesson learned, lab block goes up immediately from now on. The thing is, he's done it before but I've...
  2. Mouse & Rat Discussion
    I came into the animal room the other night when I came home from work to let my dogs out of their cages. I got a whiff of something coming from the rat cage, and it smelled like one of my rats had died. I immediately thought of Meatball because he's three years old. All of the babies were...

    Well, I've had my rats for quite a while now and never had this problem occur... until now. Unusually, Husky is the problem. He has always been the quietest and never caused any problem, very cuddly and sweet, however when I do/did pick him up he was quite shy and always pooped everywhere...

    Hank is so big and cute, but i'm worried about his health. I was able to look at his feet today, and saw that they looked like they had owies, probably from carrying so much weight. His coat is kind of dull looking, and he had some sores that I originally thought were from fighting with another...

    Also links to previous discussions would be great. I would like to make my own hamster food, and I'm looking for a list of suitable items to put in it. I will have lab blocks and timothy/alfalfa hay pellets, as well as things you can get at bulk food stores, like seeds, oats, etc. But need...

    I just adopted two female rats from someone in the next town over. He gave me little to no info on the girls, only telling me their names, and saying that there was a third rat living with them, but it died a few days before I adopted these girls. He had been feeding them a low-quality cat food...

    I got the Mazuri Rat & Mouse Diet. The back of the bag says "Adult Rats consume 16 to 25 grams of feed per day (4 to 7 pellets)." I have two rats so should I give them 8 to 14 pellets? I'm gonna start giving it to them tomorrow morning.
