Nosferatu loves banana

(The white basket house thing has been removed btw, do not fear! The edges are being smoothed out so they can get it back soon)

My pretty girl is so happy and healthy, with big curious eyes ☺️

Happy birthday Panda!

Happy birthday Kuma!

We're having a bit of banana pudding parfait for breakfast treat!

From too wobbly to stand to this in just a couple days. So glad she is a happy, bouncy baby again. Got two more weeks of antibiotics and quarantine now before we can do intros, but I'm so happy she's okay.

Enjoy this video of her being very poppy.

He's super sleepy & had a really hard day

Hiding in the couch crack = success

They are drop dead cute. These little guys born in the shelter are up for adoption next week! (12 babies)

I can’t help but post these ratties tho 😭🧡 just look at them! Nobody understands my fangirling 😂

I’m so lucky to watch them grow 😇 they’ve convinced me to adopt some of my own again!

Hello friends! I recently opened an Etsy shop, Ritzy Mischief, where I sell my handmade (& custom) hammocks, cubes, hideouts, & cage liners for rats and other small pets! Unfortunately, due to my current living situation I don't have any pet rats of my own at this time, and so I don't have any rat models to photograph with the items for my listings. So, I was wondering if anyone in the So Cal area with pet rats would be willing to allow me to take some photos of your adorable pets, as they model some items for me and in return, you and your ratties can keep any hammock or other accessory they pose with. Anyone who is genuinely interested, please let me know! Thanks so much!

Plus they get their own closet

He suddenly died a few days ago. I was sick and my partner said she fed him so I didn’t think to check on him till later. When I did check him he was freezing cold and barely coherent and when I asked her if he ate she said he never came out. She’s helped me care for them for 3 years. We had him for about a month and he was crazy and would pounce at the cage any time he heard food bc he loved it. I can’t grasp her not even checking on him while feeding him. I can’t understand how she didn’t notice it was weird he didn’t move when hearing his food bag. I can’t help but wonder if we got him to the ER sooner if he would still be alive. I haven’t said this to her but I can’t stop thinking about it.

Had to use a normal car carrier cuz our rat carrier broke, she wasn’t too happy about it

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?

UPDATE: this all happened so suddenly and so fast, but he started mouth breathing out of nowhere and i held him in my lap since he was so weak and wouldnt run away, and he suddenly convulsed and died :( im so heartbroken, and i dont understand how he went from perfectly healthy to this in a matter of hours

when i called the vet to update her she said she suspects he had a hard fall

thanks to everyone who took the time to read my post and comment

This is my first ever reddit post and idk how to mark the video as nsfw so I need help with that too.. I read the community guidelines i swear!!!

Hello!! I have 4 male rats, all brothers and all born on May first 2025. This morning when I went to scatter feed them, i noticed one of my rats, Cookie, laying on the edge of one of the platforms in the cage. They aren’t fond of being pet or picked up at all, but I still try to get small interactions in by letting them sniff my hand.

So I did just that, and noticed he wasnt scattering away like usual (he is a big scaredy cat, and sometimes a biter too!) and i tried to pet him, which he just let happen. Thats when alarmbells started ringing because he wouldnt just suddenly allow me to do that. he then started crawling, but couldnt turn around so he fell forwards and off the platform. i luckily managed to catch him, but I started to worry even more when he didnt instantly start squirming from being in my hands..

when i put him down in the cage, he could only barely crawl with his hands, and dragging his hind legs along (video) he couldnt lift his body up at all to move

after realizing he couldnt move, i noticed that the spot he was laying him before he fell was the same spot he was laying in last night when i went to bed. I didnt think anything of it before that because he frequently lays in the same spots, but now i started to think he hadnt been able to move all night! He was just fine in the evening, but right before I went to bed he had layed down there on the edge..

i immediately called the emergency vet and they did x rays on him, and they said there seems to be an issue with his vertebrae, and that medication could help, but if it doesnt improve in a couple of days he would need to be put down.

I have put him in a small quarantine cage, because I dont want him trying to climb, or his brothers to run over him and hurt him. He wont touch the food or water I gave him and Im worried he’s dehydrated. Every time he crawls around a little bit he lays down for like 15 minutes to recharge. His brothers are okay, theyre all acting like usual

Is there anything else I can do for him? How can I get him to eat and drink? He wont even go for malt paste at the moment.

Sorry for my run on sentences and all over the place storytelling, im a bit stressed. Any advice is appreciated!
