    Introduce Yourself

    Well hello there...not an intro, but a re-intro. I was quite active on here from 2005-2010, but due to a spiteful ex was forced to give up my collection (thank you Philth for always being there for me) and eventually faded away from this forum altogether. I am still in touch with some of you...

    Rattties!

    I have had many a beautiful boy from breeders and simply the most lovable rescues. Dwarfs are indeed difficult to find, and interestingly enough, the breeder that I got them from and the breeder i got most of my others are at odds. I have had several Burmese boys as well from one breeder. I...

    Rattties!

    This is the first time I have a brood with the same coloration. Three are brothers (one big fat squishy dumbo and two dwarfs). I found the new comer at my friends pet store (first time I bought a rat at a store), and he fits in perfectly. My oldest is a hairless that I rescued over two years...

    Rattties!

    I was too excited to wait till I got home to take a picture of my newest addition, CU. And am I losing my mind or is your avatar's eye sending a laser beam at me?

    Rattties!

    I've been keeping rats as pets for the last 3 years. Despite their reputation for being "dirty", they make wonderful pets....social, CLEAN, adorable and easy to care for. The one pitfall is that their lifespans are only about 2-3 years. Some pics of my current grey and white brood to make you...

    Cage set-ups.

    Since the OP is asking about set-ups for PET rats, the people who have input are also rat enthusiasts. Obviously breeding for feeders is a huge turn-off for us. In answer tot he OP, many people use fleece as bedding, as it is washable and absorbent. I have my shelves lines with plastic and...

    Rattie Question

    No problem, desertdweller. we all learn from eachother. Best wishes for contimued success. Intros with males, (as I am currently learning too), is not easy. The best advice I can give is that when you start to feel overwhelmed, give it a rest. And from what I am reading and experiencing...

    Rattie Question

    I guess I found this thread a little late, but I'll still contribute. Even males that are raised together can have dominance issues. I have 9 males, and only two had aggression issues. Neither of these two were part of my original 4. One was neutered about a month after his arrival, as I had...
