I have 2 male rats (brothers). About 2 weeks ago, I noticed a sore on 1 of them, George. It was like a round wound, size of a pea, on his lower belly. Did not look like a bite or something that would have happened from falling or from part of the cage, or something like that. The fur grew over it and it healed. Last night, I found a new wound, much larger, on his side. It is like an open sore, but I can't figure out what is causing it. His behavior is normal. He is eating. He doesn't show signs of mites or dandruff or scratching a lot or anything. I've attached the photo of the sore. It is about the size of a nickel. Does anyone have any idea? Or experienced anything like this with their pet rats? Is there a parasite that could do this?
HI I HAVE JUST BOUGHT 2 RATS 8 WKS old and they have not been handled at all - one of them let's you stroke her and the other one goes to try and bite me - I stroke her then she has a brief sniff then attempt a bite - I've read that it can be grooming or nibbling to see what you are and also to squeak when she dies it - but is she just scared or have I bought a nasty rat? Also what's the best way to get them used to being picked up and handled - someone please help
Small rattery located in Lancaster, Pa. We focus on health and temperament foremost. We specialize in russian blue, fawn, platinum, chocolate, merle and minks. We have other colors occasionally. We will be focusing on harley but we will have rex, velveteen and standard coats too. Our rats are mainly dumbos, but we may have a few standard eared dumbo carriers from time to time. We also never turn down a rat in need...so occasionally we may offer rescues.
