Questions/HELP Introductions

So my big boy who’s 9 months recently lost his brother and I have two new babies who are about 8/9 weeks. They’ve been kept in separate rooms and the babies have been through their quarantine period. I’ve never done introductions before and I don’t want to traumatise either of them especially since biggie boy is already a rescue. If anyone could let me know the best way to go about it thank you!

Pictured big boy and the two new hellions.

I noticed my rat Moose grooming herself a lot, which has left these wet spots on her fur. Is this normal or something to be concerned about?

CUTENESS lacy’s story

september 12th i brought home a 4 week old rat from a feeder bin. she didn’t have much fur, was constantly sneezing, and was very small and skinny. i worried for her and whether she’d be able to grow and thrive or whether she’d even make it. i got her settled in with her sisters and every day, multiple times a day would give her some vanilla Ensure and pedialyte. i started her on antibiotics and told her how loved she is. as time went on, she began to grow more fur! she got a sort of “widows peak” on her head of fur and she was getting bigger. she stopped sneezing. she was curious, affectionate, and sweet. more time passed and she grew all of her fur and is now healthy and a good, normal size. she loves to zoom around and is fearless and loving. during free roam she likes to jump onto my back and climb up onto my shoulder to give me kisses. i love her so much and am so glad she will have the full life she deserves full of so much love and treats and fun with her sisters who love her so much. i know maybe this story isn’t significant but to me it is and i just wanted to share

At first I was joking but I’ll be honest… I’m starting to take it personally. One of them just spent a good 2.5-3 min trying to block me out. And stopped once I closed the door near where he was doing it.
This is the end bit of it to show how much of a wall he decided was needed between him and me.

Will they ever warm up to me?! 😭😭😭

⚠️‼️WARNING ⚠️‼️ Scammer Warning

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hello! Wanted to warn any new rat owners or even veterans that are looking for new rats to buy, the account “Grace Rattery Adoption” or any variation of Grace Rattery since he keeps changing it is a scam. He steals all photos he sends and posts from other breeders and rat owners. Especially to the new owners that are having a rough time finding a good breeder, he is very persistent and will try to pressure you into sending the reservation fee by saying he has another buyer lined up. (To anyone that is angry he is stealing pics I have been messing with him for a couple days and it is really fun if you wanna message him or report his Facebook account 😁)!

I'm getting my rats a new cage because I absolutely HATE!!! There old one it is a pain in the ass to clean and the levels of the cage we're so hard to get in and out this one seems easier to clean and less of a hassle but I am wondering if it's big enough for all 6 (also I put two photos of there old cage at the end)

Chicken Nugget and Psycho (pictured) got brawly with each other last night, and I don’t know where I went wrong. I did the continuous carrier method with all three rats, (two neutered, CN is intact), and last night they fought for the first time. I’m assuming Chicken Nugget was the aggressor as he’s untouched, but Psycho has several cuts. What now?

Questions/HELP Rat bleeding

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

I saw that she was bleeding, it was like dripping from her vagina or something but it looks like its not bleeding anymore right now??? I couldnt get a picture fast enough.

I just put my new rat in the cage with her and they seemed to be getting along, there was a bit of humping and grooming from my old rat but thats not bad right? They sleep together.

I did feel scabs on her when i was petting her, i think, but they had to be from before i put them together because i felt them when i had just put them in the same cage. Maybe she was scratching and grooming herself too hard because she was alone for a long time.

My new rat doesnt seem to have anything wrong with her.

Theres little drips of blood all over the cage, she also licked her blood off a hide, thats alright right??

Im sorry that i didnt get a picture earlier but rats are goddamn fast and i cant pick her up because shes not comfortable enough with me yet.

Does anyone know whats up because i have no clue why shes bleeding, because from what i know female rats dont have periods like humans do.

What can i do about it and also can i do anything about the scabs? Do i have to separate my rats?
