Well,are you all confused by the title of this post? Thought you all might be,so here the story goes........ I took florence and doodles to the vets the other day,doodles for his extremely smelly breath and florence coz i was concerned about her eyes. Well doodle has a bit of tarta (cant spell) but other than that he is ok, and florence it has been determined is possibly allergic to the wood shavings,hence the sore eyes. So i have since changed the bedding in the rats cage. Now comes the interesting part. The vet gave her a check over,and has requested the other 2 maybe going in to check them over,if i want to. Anyway on checking florence over,he discovered she had 3 holes. An Anus,a vagina and a penis,but no testicals. And to top it off he hardly ever see's albino rats either,so i have a rare rat. Oh she also bit me,quite hard. Didnt really pierce the skin on the underside of my finger but the teeth went straight through my finger nail OUCH!!!!!! i now have a very sore finger Posted: Sat Apr 19, 2008 4:15 pm Twig Packleader Joined: Feb 14, 2007 Posts: 495 Age: 18 No.Of Pets: 10+ Pet Types: Dog, 2 rabbits and lots of fish!

Yeah rats are very prone to allergies, woodshavings a definetly a no no, what have you switched to? I've heard megazorb is excellent and very cheap. Is tartar a common problem in rats or is it just diet?

Am still having problems with taming the girls, i know i cant expect anything over night,but ive had them for a few weeks now,and they either still run away from me,or they will take food off me but at the same time will try and bite me. I know with the girls being older than the rats ive had before will make it a bit harder too. I will keep it up and see how it goes Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 9:35 pm nahatalie Packleader Joined: May 22, 2007 Posts: 215 Age: 23 No.Of Pets: 3 Pet Types: Three rats; Kitty and Maya, and Roland the rescue rat Karma: 2 Thank Medals: None 1520 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Just keep perservering with the handling. Food is always a good start. One good way to gain a rat's confidence is to just sit by the cage and read a book or something, with the cage door open and let them come to you. Hold your hand up to the cage once they get confident and let them walk on to you. Visit www.fancy-rats.co.uk for rat specific quesitons, it's great! Glad you've got them off the woodshavings Posted: Mon Apr 21, 2008 10:46 pm poppydog83 TopDog Joined: Feb 07, 2007 Posts: 672 Age: 24 No.Of Pets: 7 Pet Types: 3 dogs,1 hamster and 3 rats Karma: 8 Thank Medals: None 2509 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: i know i have to really keep trying, i guess the big problem at the moment is i havent spent much time with them recently. so gota spend more time with them,get that back on track. If i still get no where or am still finding i cant spend as much time with them then i will have to rehome them Posted: Tue Apr 22, 2008 10:58 am nahatalie Packleader Joined: May 22, 2007 Posts: 215 Age: 23 No.Of Pets: 3 Pet Types: Three rats; Kitty and Maya, and Roland the rescue rat Karma: 2 Thank Medals: None 1520 PetPounds Items Status: Offline Post subject: Where did you get the rats from? Don't give up on them! I'm sure they will be tame with perserverance!

She got them for her son as he really wanted rats,and they did their research etc...on them before getting them. However due to being bitten quite a few times (they were never really handled much) and the lady being allergic to them,they felt it would only be right to rehome them. So thats when i stepped in,i am a sucker for animals Posted: Thu Apr 24, 2008 8:05 am Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  All times are GMT Pet Chat Forum Index » Pet Chat Printable Version   Jump to: Select a forum Pet site information----------------Updates & AnnouncementsWebsite HelpSuggestionsFurbabies News Pet Forums----------------Pet HealthIntroshorse/donkey/goatsBird Chat ForumsHealthPet ChatExotic Pet ForumRodent chatFish ForumsPet StoriesRabbit Chat ForumPet Breeders & BreedingPet RescueOff TopicLost PetsFound PetsDiscountsRainbow BridgeDiet Cat & Dog Forums----------------Dog ForumsCat ForumsAgilityShows  Related topics  Topics   Replies   Author   Views   Last Post  Top ten breeds of dog 19 Lu-1 1294 Wed Jul 05, 2006 12:15 am Pet-Village Top pet pointers 4 dobie_lover 625 Sat Jul 02, 2005 2:30 pm amethystmyst Top 15 songs 7 Lu-1 944 Tue May 31, 2005 6:55 pm doglover Staffie is top dog 3 sambo 874 Sun May 15, 2005 5:56 pm Lu-1   All times are GMT Ported for PHP-Nuke by nukemods.com Powered by phpBB 2.0.11 © 2001, 2002 phpBB Group :: Theme & Graphics by Daz Forums ©
