Hi,
I really need some live baby rats for my spotted which has not eaten for a few months. I know they can go ages without eating but his last meal wasn't much and he hadn't eaten much before that either. Have tried defrosted rats, mice, baby live mice, baby live mice scented with rat, rat scented with skink.
Need a live baby rat as that is the only thing I could get him to eat before and stupid rats have stopped breeding. One female that I bought a while ago hasn't given me one baby and now she has a tumor. The other 2 females just aren't doing anything.
I am in the Toowoomba area and the rats I need are the pinky fuzzy stage before they open their eyes and develop any real teeth (really don't want to risk my spotted getting bitten by a rat even if it is a baby). If anybody could help I would really, really appreciate it as I am quite worried about my python.
On a side note what the hell is is with rats and tumors? Almost all the rats I have had has developed them. With the first 2 rats I had (pets) 1 developed a few tumors didn't die, put her down when the other one died, from them and the other died from bleeding to death from its vagina. The second lot of pet rats I had, which were great pets, 1 got tumors while the other one bled a little bit from its eyes all the time and then I think she also got a tumor, both of these were eventually put down. Then with the first male rat that I got for my breeding setup, who also happened to be a really great pet (when he was in the house for a short while) and he was genuinly friendly and liked lots of attention, he developed a lump on his side but was ok with that but he much later on got a tumor under his chin which I only noticed about 2 days before he died. I honestly don't think I could be the reason for all the tumors and in a book on pet rats it says tumors are common but they just seem far too common for me.
Sorry bout long post, ment to make it short but just kept on going and once again if someone could help me with a baby rat I would really, really appreciate it.
Thanx
