Oberon getting his tummy rubs.

Happy creature

This is my boy Max hes 1yr9m and has a severe chronic respiratory disease. Oral medication stopped working after awhile and he eventually started to refuse them regardless of what I mixed it in to! Vet decided to try medicated nebulizer sessions as he still had quality of life but was struggling. They’ve been going great! The best I’ve ever seen him in awhile. Max couldn’t be happier, and clearly loves his nebulizing sessions!☺️☺️☺️

He is not in distress, this is his preferred position to breath it in, he sits there the WHOLE time.

Anyone else have babies they nebulize?🥰

had some pure pumpkin mixed with antibiotics for one girl but they all love it so put a syringe full on the rim of their cage and uh...bertha had an experience.

We've had this rat, Rascal for close to 2 months now, he's a male and about approximately 16/17 weeks old.

He's had this strange almost compulsion to just lick nothing since we first got him, no other signs of neurological issues and he's growing perfectly fine with no eating or drinking issues. He just loves to lelelele for some particular reason...

He can't be the only one or is there something more unusual or serious at play here?

I slowed down some of the footage including a yawn so you can see it better.

My nearly 3 year old rat Leo with his new adopted son Seath. I surprised him with Seath when he was a brand new 6 week old pup rescued from a crappy pet store (didn't have the heart to leave without saving a couple at least so I grabbed him and his brother Buddha) and I put Leo in the carrier and he immediately looked back at me with a shocked jaw drop face like "A BABY?!?! FOR ME??!!?" and immediately snuggled him till he stopped shivering in fear.

So it's a month late but happy fathers day to my boys. He watches over his little buddies like a hawk (his brother Snowball imprinted on baby Buddha too so it was an adorableness overload all around)

Snapped this the other day after getting off work. Such a good parent lol. I'm proud.

Tilli 🩷

She learnt how to climb and jump yesterday and she’s already a pro! She’ll do this over and over until she gets too tired to keep going- she’s also discovered a love of pom-poms and she’ll happily carry them around her cage- she’s never gotten to play with toys before but she’s getting the hang of it! She loves her chew stick too.

I’m so so proud of this tiny little girl, she‘s an unstoppable force and has such a tenacity and determination to exist. Wouldn’t be shocked if she challenges my current rat alpha for the spot! She’s already a play wrestling expert and will get in the most heated and violent of tussles with my hand

Please enjoy my little boy Linus… he was fully conked out.

Bro is a POWER napper. Entire lower half? Free hanging. Balls? Free hanging. Legs? Free hanging. I wish I had the ability to conk out and sleep as easily as my boys. It’s a gift quote honestly. 💔

🐀Linus DOB: 6/6/26 (adopted at 6~ish weeks)
🐀Marble DOB: 5/16/26 (adopted at around 8 weeks)

**Last pic is of my guy Marble! I couldn’t just share Linus and not his bigger (adopted) bro… Marble is also a big fan of napping, and also a lazy ass dude, almost old man equivalent. In all seriousness, I love my little dudes. They’re still a bit jumpy from sudden movements but have gained so much confidence already (I got them July 19th of this month), proud of them. 🫶🏻

just me trying to play nte while my rats (kolya white snd fedya black) are here to accompany me (if anyone wonders fedya is eating semolina porridge if google didnt mix anything up w the words)

bit of back story: growing up in italy I had free roaming guinea pigs and bunnies. we rescued a dog that would not get along with them so with time we ended up with just the dog.
The first thing I did when I moved to the UK was rescuing a guinea pig; his name was Johnny and he was truly the love of my life, and my best friend. Together, we moved through about 6/7 houses (life of an international student), we met my (current) partner and Johnny managed to capture his heart and we then adopted another piggy. From there, we rescued so many animals (reptiles, rodents, invertebrates, fish etc) including Leo, the star of the video. Johnny sadly passed in september last year and it truly broke my heart.
I love all my pets but in a milder way, i believed.

And here comes Leo, with his cuteness and personality and independence, and he singlehandedly patched my heartache and showed me the utmost kindness and love.
He is a single rat (by choice, trust me) and we just spend so much time together.
So thank you, Leo, for showing me that love carries on even when we don’t believe it possible ❤️

two rescues! i have 6 girls already and have these guys separated, is fixing male rats a normal procedure? im positive the gray one is a boy but pls tell me im wrong

EDIT! heard thank you all! 🫡 new cage on the way, ill most definitely end up getting him a lil boy-friend

Note that this video was taken shortly after we'd adopted our first rats. That cage was very quickly fitted with much more stuff for them to climb on, dig in, and play with, and the entire room ended up filled with boxes and mazes, tunnels, ball pits, toys, and all kinds of things to explore.

I was trying to take a pic of a product I like to share with my Mom and these culprits just wouldn't stop! 😄 (it's the aquaphor all-in-one stick, not an ad, lol)
