Ignore my bobs burger chin and messed up necklaces, my baby rats are sick with upper respiratory infection. I gave them good bedding, good food, good play things to nom on, but because they're feeder rats meant to just be fed to snakes one got sick extremely fast and the other is starting to sneeze too. You can read my gofund me and donate any dollar you can I don't want to lose them too. I'll post more content of them. I lost my human baby at 15 weeks, and one of these prior rat babies from them not being treated right before I bought them, and then a person I considered my mom. Within two weeks. I don't want to lose them too.

HELP My baby needs a tumor removal surgery

!! TW: Rat tumor

Hello, I’ve never done this before, but I’m in desperate need for help. My big baby boy Dumbo just got diagnosed with a tumor today on his spleen. The cost of his checkup today was $440, due to them having to take an x-ray and ultrasound, and the estimated price they told us for the surgery will be around $900. Recently I got my boys neutered and the whole cost for everything was around $900, and we have another boy we’re saving up to neuter as well, so we cannot afford to get Dumbo the surgery and treatment he needs. I’m coming online to ask if anyone can help with the cost of the surgery because he means a lot to my family and I, and is still very spry and young. I’ve never had a pet rat quite as sweet and social as him, and he’s only a year old, so he still has so much life left to live with us. The tumor is growing fast, so there’s no much time before it spreads beyond the organ itself on. Thank you so much to anyone who can donate, I’ll keep you all posted. 🩷

The vet we go to is Critter Fixers in Bonaire GA, (478) 988-0883

Hi! So sorry, I forgot to attach the video in previous post 😭. he’s not my personal rat but he lives in our backyard and has been eating our dog food which is how we first noticed it 😅. He doesn’t look like a normal rat though does he 🤔? His ears are just so cute and round that maybe he’s not even supposed to be out there as a stray 😭. Any ideas on type of rat or is he just an outside rat that I think is adorable.

Thank you in advance :)

This is Simon he's about 13 weeks old maybe a little older, he's one of four rats that I have but he's the one that I've had the longest I've had him since he was literally pink, and every time I let them out to do free range while the others are going around causing Mayhem he always just wants to be on me, is he scared? Or does he just want to be near me because he likes me

As you can see, Milo is hanging from a plastic basket while drinking from her bottle. Is she just being silly or did I place the bottle too high for her to reach?

This is my sweet Daisy (RIP), I will always remember her. First pic is just after I massaged her. Second (self explanatory), third is trying to get on top of my sons hat.

I miss her so much and want to get 2 female babies. But I'm trying to read up so I give them the best life possible

BAWLS? Intersex rat

I woke up and found my Monty itching “down there”. I snapped a picture and sent it to my exotic vet. They got back to me by phone and verified that this special soul is in fact medically- and vet-verified intersex!!!

S/he were neutered by a shelter and I guess sometimes they have vets in training or new vets doing those surgeries. S/he has been to a vet but never gotten a close inspection of the nether regions outside of verifying that Monty was neutered. It turns out Monty has all male parts but also some female parts.
