If you remember or have seen, I got my first 4 rats in November of last year. Nearly a year later, 4 boys turned into 8!
I just wanted to give you guys on update on how everyone is doing. Here is their updates from oldest to youngest!
Gus - Gus turned 1 year old recently. He has been good, however still going through itchy skin. Weve done a ringworm treatment (he gave ringworm to me - bad breeder) We've done 3 mite treatments but they help a little but not significantly. I've switched his diet (for allergies) and still no relief. No idea what it is since none of the other rats have issues. Harley rats (what gus is, aka long hair) are prone to skin issues, so maybe that's why he is having issues.
Gus is a sweety and is loving life! Loves nightly snuggles and time in the playpen.
Freddie - No real updates on him, hes been pretty consistent for the last almost-year. Sweet boy that loves his cage, playpen and hammocks!
Tavi - Tavi just got a URI, so we are treating him for that. Other than that, he's the spunkiest & a slight trouble maker. Very gentle and loving boy.
Tobi - Tobi has been battling a few URIs, so the vet has prescribed a long-term medication for respiratory help. It seems to be working wonders! Tobi is the trouble maker of the group, he always is silly and likes to escape the playpen, but he doesnt go far and I find him right away.
Max - Adopted from Judge's Park (a rescue) with pippin! Hes a sweety but recently hes been a butthole and may need to get neutered depending on how much more aggressive he gets to other rats.
Pippin- Adopted from Judge's park with Max! Pippin is such a foodie and is a funny boy!
Leroy - my first werewolf and hes better than I could have imagined! Werewolf rats molt their hair around weekly and it grows back as symmetrical patterns. Leroy's personality is so funny and silly! I can always see the gears turning and the grumpy thoughts in head haha! Loves loves loves hammocks and anything soft!
Andy (aka Junior) - got from a reptile expo and he was too sweet and cuddly to be left to be eaten! I got him about a week ago and intros are going very well to the other rats.
Cage they are in: (dated about a few months but it looks very similar. Fleece & uhaul pads on the bottom now)
Their (try to do) daily playpen is 15 ft x 4 ft!
Diet i make based on the shunamite diet principles: This time there is 50 ingredients!!!
Hope you guys enjoyed the cute pics and the updates!
