I have a pet pinky rat that I saved from beeing snake food because the snake wouldnt eat the poor thing for 2 weeks so I felt bad that it was sleeping to die so I kept it but it keeps breathing hard and always sleeping it barley eats or drinks water, I heard it could be sick but I never hear it...

Currently, I have a four month old female rat and I have been thinking about getting another female rat. In the past, the only pair of rats I owned were sisters that had lived together since birth. I am not sure if it is wise to bring home a "stranger" rat to my little friend. At this point I...

This one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=20003 AND as we started to put it together we realized a lot of pieces were not right. There was a hole that a screw was supposed to go through and it wasn't even PUNCHED OUT! My husband had to heat it up really well and...

I have a 44 gallon viv and I'm not sure what I'd like to put in it, I've only considered putting a snake in it now. By no means is the viv. ready to be inhabited, so I have plenty of time to research what ever species may be suggested. I'm looking for a smaller breed, as I would rather not have...

My dad doesn't like having pets in the house; it's alright with him if they're outside. (ex. my dog and cat, my only 2 pets). What he doesn't like, though, is if there is a domesticated animal in the house. How freaky is that?!?!?! My mom doesn't mind having small pets in the house (rodents...

Hi I am new to this site, I am a 14 year old girl that LOVES animals. Well right now I own 1 horse(for sale), 2 cats(1 indoor, 1 outdoor) and 2 parakeets. I am interested in owning a pet rat. I have owned hamsters before and even 1 guinea pig before. I am trying to find one but can't seem to...

Hey everyone. I decided if I'm going to be a breeder I need a method of advertisement so I started a myspace page just for my ratties. I haven't had a chance to upload all their photos yet but I will. I've basically just done the initial design and joined some rat groups. I thought this would be...

Okay so around my area, loads of people buy rats. When we got Figaro we were on a dumbo waiting list for a while! And you can never find anything weird like hairless. Everyone wants them there are huge waiting lists, but you can't get them. I wouldn't have Boris, except his hernia made him...

His name is Dizzy, he's a little bigger than this now

I hope that this is in the right section of the forum. I'm wondering, which would be a better pet for me, a dwarf hamster (or 2) or a rat? I want to get one as soon as my grandparents move out of our house, within a year or so. Here are some things to help your answers. 1. I'm still in high...

I have two names in mind for my newest rat,but cannot decide which I wanna name him.So I am going to go with the most votes.

Few days ago BBC TV London had a segment dealing with the increased rat population in London. In respect of vermin. They also showed the other side of rats. A keeper had three female rats, who were rather impressive and well behaved. Domesticated rats , as pets, sure got a boost on this...

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:

What are your favorite rat and/or mouse websites and why? Like in the hamster/gerbil forum I'm looking to compile a list to make another sticky :). I could probably find a bunch of sites myself but I don't personally keep rats or fancy mice (just spinies) so I figured I should ask you guys ;).
