my pet rat, when i picked him up today, he has been sneezing ever since i got him, which is about 1.8 days, and untill now, i looked at his nose, it looks like blood, but he never gets into fights or even playfights with his brother, from what i understand, they are about 2 or more years, more being 2.2 years old, and thier cage was constantly neglected by the 10 year old who owned him, the previous owner wasnt too intellegent with her pets, nice and all, but just didnt know alot about them, i think her bird died because it loved chocolate too much, they havent been to the vet yet, so if anyone knows a good vet in the US, ontario, california aeria and how much it might cots to get them looked at, PLEASE REPLY. i just cleaned out thier cage, and its a 10gal fish tank with a wierd mashed cardbord like bedding, mostly like recycled paper, and it has a ramp that leads to a cage above, i havent had time to get to the pet store, something came up, so i had to feed them hamster food. help.
also, is it safe to give them un-sweetend cherios, the plain brand to a pet rat? how many is safe?
thank you, ill take him to a vet, ill to some research now, see if i can find exotic pet vet, i dont care howmuch it costs, alsong as its a reasonable price, i think bobby’s vet does small animals.
also, he squirms when i try to pick him up, its soo sad hes old, the lady only wanted $25, and that in its own pays for the cage, and the rats, but i had to lie, we were really low on gas, and didnt have enough to get home. anyone know whare i can go about actuall hand handeling the rats, they might be too old for it, ill pickout the sunflower seeds and go first thing in the morning to get the food
