Good work cwt ^ at least someone on here agrees there are better ways of identifying them without cutting up parts of thier body.....
common sense rules

[h=3]Nail Polish is very toxic for rats they also like the taste so would tent to chew it off. Sharpies are non toxic or crayola perm markers and come in different colours you could put a ring around each rat you need to identify. Ear notching, tagging or any injury to the ear can cause infection which can then lead to the death of the rat. .
I will go with the permanent marker, I do not want to cut holes in their ears, or hurt them in anyway, even being poisoned.... :/
Hi guys, I have 4 Red eyed white rats and was thinking of finding a HUMANE method of identifying them?
I am new to breeding rats and cannot find any info on humane ways to ID them, like rings(that a bird wears around its foot) or food dye, as they are white?
Or would ear tags be better, even though I dont really like them :/
Just throwing this up.... how do you ID your rats when they look the same, lol?
Thanks
Could you let us (me) know how you go please. I asked the same thing a while ago and didn't get any answers that I liked
Ear notching is defiantly an accepted method and isn't considered painful, no worse then getting an ear peorcing in humans,
If done at a pinkie age the rodents arnt even meant to feel a thing.
Im sure there are others on hear that know more about it
