Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / January 2004New to the group..
Hello, I have a pair of Ratties.. Howie and Chuckie.. Obviously males.. Father and son to be exact.. We got these fellows as a gift from a friend shortly after Angel, our wonderful PetCo girl died.. ( I think she was around 3 monthes and had a serious infection ) . Made me cry and my girl bawl.. Anyways, the choise of a rat was made because I had some expieriance as a younger fellow.. My father had an affection for PEW's and we had many of them.. But not quite like the Angel we had... She chose us instead of us choosing her.. Never had I expierianced a rattie express and sense of kindness and affection by giving kisses.. First time out of 30 or 40 ratties.. Now the boys don't show this kind of affection, but Howard was alsways friendly while Chuck has always been more shy and reluctant.. The odd thing about Chuck i that he seems to have a slightly larger eye than the other one.. Is this a deformaty? I think it is because we have had the fellows for almost a year and it has yet changed.. ( Howard has a brown hood and cape with a creamy off white coat, and Chuck has a tan hood and cape with an off white coat.. I think these fellows are rat(ther) common..) They have a sweet tooth for yogert treats, and thier bedding is Aspen.. I will check back here from time to time.. Best wishes for the ratters.. -- Tim...

Best wishes for the ratters.. Welcome to the group, My two Ratties "Wallace and Gromit" only joined a couple of weeks ago and have gleaned a wealth of useful information from it. Not too sure about your choice of names though, Chuckie is a bit of a doubtful choice, but Howard is absolutely brilliant, guess what my name is? lol YP Welcome to the group! Where in CA?

Best wishes for the ratters.. Hi and welcome to the group from me and my rats Bodie and Setsuko! You'll get lots of information here.. more things about rats then you ever thought you wanted to know! About Chuckies eye: if it's appearance has changed, I would definitely go see a vet. Just to be sure. Klary Hello to you, Welcome to the group from me and my boy's, Stuart, Teddy and Badger, I am quite a newy too so I read all the ailments to get a good record of them all.

Lost in the state of confusion... errr make that California.. Welcome Tim and Howie and Chuckie!! As for the eyes... if it's ever so slight, then I wouldn't worry about it, but if the bigger eye keeps getting bigger, then it could be an indication of a tumor. Stick around, we love rattie owners and their pets!!!

I am in the High Desert of California.. The city I am from even got mentioned in the Terminator3 .. Victimville ... errr make that Victor.. Ah well C'est La Vie.. As far as Chuckies eyes, it has stayed consitant from the time my wife and I picked him and his Pops up.. Never really seems to get worse.. Although found out recently thier sister/daughter was sent to the Rainbow bridge. Apparently she had a life threatning infection that over whelmed her.. Besides the rats I also have/had numerous fish tanks up.. Right now it is mainly Malawi's and Guppies , but we recently adopted a few wild lizards as well.. Little fellers bout near ended up in the fire place, if I didn't pull the bark of the wood they surely would have parished.. Until spring rolls around I guess we have adopted them as well.. Also have a two pooches.. So don't hop my fence... Tim... Hi Tim.. I passed through Victorville on my way to Death Valley 2 years ago. Quite a coincedence considering the fat that I'm from Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and have only been to the US once. small, small world.. thanks to the ratties!

Actually meet a few fellows last summer from Holland as well, seems they had a flavour for Starbucks... There is now one located right by the freeway.. BTW I am a transplant to California.. I am a Canadian.. Tim... > Hi Tim.. I passed through Victorville on my way to Death Valley 2 > years ago.
