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

We have had him for 2 days now and he is the sweetest little guy ever. Chives (aka Piss Boy) is so excited to have a friend again and they get along so well. Only a few playful scuffles so far. He's definitely still a little skittish but is super curious and loves to give kisses and sniffs.

This is Reid. Every morning he greets me, I take him out of the rat cage, and I let him run around in my bathroom while I get ready for the day. He thinks that our Dial antibacterial bar soap is the most tasty forbidden snack ever.

They're 4 months old, and I don't see any difference from when they were 45 days old. The person that gave me them hasn't said anything about their dad, but their mom seemed to be bigger, as a normal size rat. Should I be worried?

CUTENESS Since Jeanette passed I had to get my other girl a new friend. I couldn’t contain myself and got her 3 new ones.

I thought there’d be some problems getting Jolyne used to new friends so shortly after Jeanette passed away, but they all instantly bonded and I haven’t seen her this active since the passing. I got them around 3 days after Jeanette passed which was a little hard since I didn’t want to ‘replace’ her. But seeing Jolyne alone made me feel so bad. And knowing she feels happy again now makes me feel a whole lot better.

I’ll still forever miss my girl though.
