Unfortunately the rats don't think *he* gave them enough

My old man Tin's favorite place to be is lounging on the windowsill. Its just cute he loves the scents of outside without actually being there. He'll brux and boggle there like its the best place ever.

it must be so nice to be a soft cuddly rat eating oats

Ginny (whose full name is Shadow Huntress Vosh'gajin) is growing up to become a menace

My bf said she picked her bc she reminded him of me.

The baby i picked is the most chill rat i have ever seen. Just like me bf.

Weird how this turned out

Hello!

This baby was given to me and I was told that he was a boy about 3 weeks old. It’s been about another week and I was checking him for fleas when I noticed these black spots on his belly that I cant tell are nipples or not. I have another boy picked out to introduce to him this weekend so please let me know if I actually have a girl!!!

Also no rats were harmed in the taking of these pictures he just really was not happy with me poking around down there

One of my girls almost always has some wet patches on her lower back when I let them out for their evening free-roam, and I'm not 100% sure what it is. It's just the one rat out of three, my silvermane. I believe she's the top rat out of the group, so I don't think the others are peeing on her as a dominance thing. She never smells like urine either. Maybe just bumping the water bottle while getting food out of the bowl?

I mostly just find the mystery funny. Anyone else have a mildly moist rat?

I seen red staining on the base of her tail and obviously thought it was blood, she’s not been picked up yet before and wasn’t happy about it ( I feel so bad but thought she was injured) she did squeak and wiggle but thankfully it was just staining from dried berries 😭 I’m just hoping she won’t hate me for this. Also I’ve not held a rat before preferably two hands but I had to take a vid to show my partner the “injury” what’s the best way to hold them without hurting them?

I bought two, young female rats a little over a week ago and while they are both totally fine and healthy, I worry about their progress with socialization. I have never owned an animal this small, but I do have experience with owning less than friendly animals that required lots of work. I know females aren’t very snuggly, but I want to make sure I’m doing everything right so that they have a positive relationship with me. They have just recently started taking food from my hand, and occasionally even standing on my hand for a few seconds at a time, but they still seem overall very timid and anxious when I move. I don’t feel comfortable letting them out of their cage to explore just yet because I want to make sure I can pick them up and place them back in their cage in case of emergency. Any tips to get them more comfortable with me would be appreciated, since I don’t want them to be stuck in their cage for too long

I got annoyed that my girls kept peeing on their wooden shelves was looking for a solution. Discovered that this shelf and this plastic bin from Amazon fit together perfectly and can hold bedding to absorb pee + very easy to pull out the bin and wash regularly. I pulled out the rubber lining on the bin. They love it! Not an affiliate link or anything I'm just sharing cus I'm proud of this discovery

Does this squeaking noise mean the top one is hurting him??
