Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / August 2004poo problem
my rat grinds her teeth while she is pooing. i figure she is enjoying it or in pain. does anyone have any ideas. she has always done it since i got her? TIA Perhaps she is bored. Have you tried giving her a newpaper to read? > my rat grinds her teeth while she is pooing. i figure she is enjoying it > or in pain. does anyone have any ideas. she has always done it since i > got her?

TIA Sorry, but I think you're being a bit daft. Where on Earth is a rat going to get a decent newspaper to read on a Sunday?

Well, without a decent newspaper, no wonder she's reduced to grinding her teeth instead. Well our Sunday Sun in Toronto has a pretty good crossword. She'd have to be positively constipated to get through it all in one sitting. Geezer > >>> Perhaps she is bored.

I'm a newcomer to the newsgroup -I've been happily owned by rats for almost two years now and they are my babies! Me and my husband both laughed so hard at the responses for "poo problem". I have never seen my rats brux, but this afternoon during playtime, my rat climbed into the litter box and became motionless with squinted eyes, like he was concentrating...I never noticed it before... -Lisa > Well our Sunday Sun in Toronto has a pretty good crossword.

TIA Tooth-grinding or bruxing is the equivalent of a cat purring, so I'd say she really likes a good poo. -paghat the ratgirl Signature"Of what are you afraid, my child?" inquired the kindly teacher. "Oh, sir! The flowers, they are wild," replied the timid creature. -from Peter Newell's "Wild Flowers" Visit the Garden of Paghat the Ratgirl: http://www.paghat.com paghatSPAM-ME-NOT@netscape.net (paghat) wrote in news:paghatSPAM-ME-NOT- 2208041434050001@soggy72.drizzle.com: >> my rat grinds her teeth while she is pooing. i figure she is enjoying it >> or in pain. does anyone have any ideas. she has always done it since i [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -paghat the ratgirl But they also do it when nervous. Is the poo normal looking? (ie: firm brown, not black or runny, or anything else yicky?). Is there plenty of water and ratty food available (constipated??)? Also, check her vent area for inflamation, and wee for unusual colouration. If all seems fine, then I guess she does like a good poo.

The poo is normal and she has plenty of food and water. she has always done it is not a recent thing. |
