Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / February 2007

Well let me bring you up today, I think it was at the weekend I had another
look at Coco's teeth as I was puzzled what was going on with him and decided
actually yes Mr they do look a bit long so I then did some internet reseach
on rats teeth and came up with a website telling me how to do their teeth,
have a look in another ratties mouth and see if they do look long and this
told me that actually yes Coco your teeth are a wee bit longer than Waffles
and Mr Tiddles, it then told me to use a good pair of wire cutters to cut
the teeth and careful not to cut them too short or snip the tounge, so
feeling a wee bit nervous I did Coco's teeth and hoped for the best. I've
been checking on him daily but not handling him as I just wanted to leave
him in peace but tonight as he was much livlier I decided to handle him and
wow he's put on a nice bit of weight, his coat is looking healther and he's
doing really well. I'm going to leave him on his own for a few more days and
then I'll attempt to reintroduce him to the boys and keep a close eye on him
when he's back in there.
