Even though Lilly has died, I don't have the heart to move her photo

Since purchasing a new cage with solid plastic shelves in (rather than the
wired levels that my girls' previous cage contained), the little monsters
have taken to pooping and piddling on them instead of using the corner of
their cage like they used to. It got me thinking how much ...

Hello, everyone.  I dont think I've ever posted here before, so pardon
my lack of introduction, but I'm in a bit of a bind.  I rescued a
pregnant rat who had babies.  I'm keeping mom and the kids, but
believe it or not, every last one of the babies was male, so I have no

I thought last year was pretty miserable with the loss of so many of
my fuzzybutts but this year is off to a flyer as well..:(  First Ollie
my dog, then Neo the cat earlier this week and now Pinto today.  My
poor old mans back legs just completely gave out on him.  Pinto

lately i've been looking through you-tube for cool rat videos. while doing
so i came across a video of someone throwing a live (maybe 6 week old) rat
with a weight tied to it's tail into an aquarium containing about 5 pirana.
i am not going to post the link here but needless to ...

A week or so ago I wrote about my friend and her rat with the eye
gunk. Well today I made a visit with the vet for my hairless boy for

November and so far it has been a waiting game.

Well I have now noticed that it looks like Mr Tiddles might have some sort
of tumor as he has a smallish lump on his next, it's under the skin and I
would say a little bigger than a pea. I'm feeling really fed up right now, I
get one better for another to become ill.

Totally amazing.

Ok... I'm a former pet rat owner (at one time we had 18 ratties!), and
I'm cleaning out my garage. I've got a bunch of rat supplies I'd like
to sell off - 3 fern cages (which I don't want to ship so would be
avail only locally to the Twin City Minnesota area) and Wodent Wheels

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 ...

i was at a wendys downtown the other day and had the pleasure (for me) of
watching a rat raid the dumpster. back and forth he went, from dumpster to a
hole in the wall of a building next door. he was the classic silver-grey
color of the urban rat. i still can't figure out why ...
