The adaption of small rodents to pets is truly a wonderful thing. Many animals make great pets, but none are as compelling as the small rodents. Unfortunately you cannot take the instincts out of the animal. This can mean that they respond to loud noises by hiding. Hiding in a tube or hut can...

I just noticed a pea sized lump on my pet female rat. I need to know what this is and more information please.

Hello! I, like the rest of you, am an animal lover. During my younger years I was consistantly finding some sort of temperary pet (frog and toad tadpoles being a big one) to play with. I started out growing up with four cats and a dog. The only pet left from that group is my cat Sydney (who is...
