I think Asher is dying!!!

So glad to hear that Aiden is progressing. Lice are pretty easy to get rid of, and pretty benign in the scheme of things-at least you are almost done with that chore.
You could try sneaking the meds into a bit of baby food or yogurt, but then you have to be sure he eats it. I chose to squirt the nasty stuff into their mouths, too, but they quickly forgot about the ordeal.
Are you getting the new boys from a breeder? At least they can go into the big cage and Aiden can stay put until they are ready for introductions.
Yay, new ratties!!!!!!

yes, the babies are from a very small private breeder. The 2 new guys will be in a tank for 2-3 weeks for quaranteen and then they can get introduced. Aiden can move into the bigger cage as soon as his lice are completely gone. I figure if I move Aiden in first, he can hold his ground a little bit better when the 2 new ones move in.

Good for you

The world would be a better place if there was more people like you that care enough to pay $150 for a $5 pet! :worship: :worship: :worship:
Enjoy your rat, they are wonderful animals
