rats

when you are not cooking? Everytime we get one the rats get into it and leave their droppings and it never a good thing to find one inside when you lift the lid so what is the answer?

US scientists have grown kidneys that produce rudimentary urine in the lab and also after being transplanted into rats. They hope to refine the approach so one day it is possible to grow human kidneys in the lab that work as well as donor kidneys in transplant patients but without the need for...

I've heard that rats can be taken outside if they are on a harness but I was wondering if it's a safe thing to do before actually trying it out. Is it safer to train them to stay on your shoulder if you want to go outside? And is it possible (just for extra precaution) to keep the harness on...

I'm thinking of buying a rat and do you have to buy 2 or can you just have 1 on its own? What rat is the best rat to buy and what rat can you teach it tricks! Are they much better then hamsters? Are rats a fun pet to be around and do they liked being picked up and is there a rat cage for £50...

I know you are not supposed to, but I'm getting 2 rats soon, and I can't afford a $200.00 cage right now. Though my big sister has an empty aquarium/tank I could use. I was wondering if I could keep them in it for 1-2 months or until I can get a cage... And please, no rude comments.

Picture 3 rats jumping your neighbor doing classic wrestling moves what would you think?

I have had the guy for about a few days, he is not an adult yet. If i take him to the vet and make sure there are no signs of disease can i go ahead and introduce them in the cautious ways?

their eyes are half closed, are eating, but it seems hard for them, are barely walking, the tail is almost sort of grey

Everyone wants to know how to introduce rats like a new one to the current one, but how do you introduce them when they're from separate breeders? Like separate breeders but you get them at the same time?

I got two rats about two weeks ago, but before them I had two other ones that got sick. So I took them back to the pet store and they said they would cure them. Well they called and said that one of them died and the other one was ok but he was alone. I fell bad and I would like to take him back...

Do I need to get them any injections or anything or do I need to take them for a regular check up? Is it as simple as buying Rats and only taking them to the vet when they have a problem?

I have two baby rats, 4 and 6 weeks old. They were always slick and thin and suddenly, within a day they were chubby. Kind of bloated and round. They are behaving the same. Hyper, happy and loving. Just more round. I feed each of them a piece of dog food a day because the breeder recommended...

Im getting a 1 year old rat from Craigslist and hes never been with another rat as far as I know so how do I introduce him?

hi my baby rats are 10 days old (11 of them) i can not stand the smeel of them anymore so i was wondering if i can use carefresh instead of papertowels and if not how old should they be before i can?

i have rabbits in runs and rats are managing to get in to eat food

I have had a bad problem with rats. Now, I hear noises near the vents. Should I hire a pest man to look down the vents with a camera/mirror to see if there is rat/mice debris? or, put a string on a trap filled with peanut butter,open the vent and lower it down to the duct? Or, just throw some...

Lately I have noticed I have been dreaming of rats which has never happened so I'm curious about what it means. I've looked some up but usually they just say if you are attacked or attacking the rat, you are guilty, enviousness, or really angry. That's not the case in my dreams though. In one...

I had a female rat about 1 year old dumped on me by a friend who could no longer keep her. I have never taken care of rats before and I don't have the space or the money for another cage and all the introduction stuff. It's not a matter of me being lazy I honestly just don't have ANY room for...
