Hi there! I'm new to the group and just thought I would introduce myself. I am a second year student in a vet tech program, and will be graduating in May. I had a rat, Lydia, a couple of years ago but she died of a respiratory illness. I've just gotten another young female rat, Sienna, from school. I would guess that she's probably about 3 months old. I think she weighs about 150g and is brown.
I'm a little paranoid about the noises that rats make now that I've lost one to RI. So today when I heard Sienna making some weird noises while she was sleeping, I got a little worried. She's been doing a little bit of bruxism too, but there's no porphyrins coming out of her eyes or nose.
It's funny because even though I went through all of this schooling, I am not very knowledgeable about rats. So any tips or information that you all can provide would be greatly appreciated! It's nice to meet you all.
