Yes but accommodation doesnt accept dos and i cant afford £500 a month

yep i can only rent and nowehere whithin my budget accepts dogs, his insurance is partof the problem and if i need to rehome him i MUST give him back to where i got him from, it was in the contract i signed. And i have shopped around for food to and cant find anything cheaper. My decision hasnt...

I dont know to be honest

Ive sat down and talked with my parents, for advice, and when i do move out i wont be able to take him with me, 99% of rentals dont allow pets, and realistically i wont be able to save money for my own place AND for him for just incase so he has to go back. On the plus side it will be easier to...

It pains me to write this but im afraid i might have to get rid of Floyd, i have had some financial difficulty recently and am struggling with finding enough money to keep him with his food costs rising, vets bills, insurance fees etc and ive got to move out and i cant find anywhere that accepts...

Well harvey hhas finally stopped sneezing but gained a massive scab streatching from one shoulder to the other and right over his back from the antibiotic injection plus the vet said he looked like he had mites. BUT he is now scab free just a bald bit on his back and a red bit about the size of...

Yep dad got his pliers out lol tis all up and harvey seems to like it lol wíll post pics soon.

Does anyone know of any websites offering insurance for rats? ive found exoticdirect.co.uk

Yeah but i cant get the last pin more than 1/4 down lol

Haha nope he's not run off with anything he shouldnt have yet lol he has pooped in my dads shoes though lol

I gave him a dose this evening and ill carry on till end of next week as he's only missed 2 doses, i was given plenty of AB as she thought i might struggle so i have plenty. He seems to be getting alot more active in the evenings now lol his cuteness factor has woken up :lol: And ive only just...

Ok thanx, so when would YOU advise me stopping the AB? When he's stopped sneezing or?

Well she said to take him off the baytril, as he's hardly sneezing, and if he starts sneezing again then put him on it for 5 days then see what he's like off it and if he's still sneezing then take him back. She said to dilute it with pineapple juice as it is too strong neat dunno either way...

Yeah have done lol

Well harvey is still sneezing albeit not as much but still sneezing. The thing i cant understand why the vet told me to dilute the baytril because its too strong :blink:

Sweet we need pics lol

Only one? cant choose would love to have ALL the following: Rottwieller Doberman Mastiff, spanish, french, english - not tibetan mastiff cos they too fluffy :lol: Great dane - harlequin one Landseer newfoundland American bulldog LOTS of greyhounds Whippets Leonberger Irish wolfhound Saint...

Have you tried a can of air freshner up its rear? i keep threatening my dog with that :shout: But sometimes i let my dog sleep upstairs on my bed with me, 9 times out of 10 he sleeps sprawled out at the bottom of my bed the other times he sleeps right in between my legs on his back with his...

Vague ones yes, i can figure out how to put it up its just the last "pin" for the sides that wont go in lol

Yep vet rang to check up this morning, she also said to "water" it down abit cos it is too strong neat :blink:

Lol yeah thanx, he's still sleeping in his rat bag, ive got a poorly doggy to parents young dog went for him and he has a small hole in his cheek :-( they made up now 1st time ive ever seen a dog fight and harvey slept right through this and through me shouting at the dogs lol

Well harvey went to vets in his rat bag. The vet said it could be stress and him getting used to his new home but seeing as there is discharge he will have anti-biotics, baytril at 2.5%, she took him off and weighed him and said he was something like .2 something of a kilo? dunno cant remember...

I got that one from argos and i need help putting it up lol

Im taking him up to the vets in a few mins, will let you know what the vets say.

Ah thanx good idea, i get through alot of pringles anyway lol will try that.

OK thanx would the wood based catlitter pellets be ok? OR recycled paper? Like this: http://www.petsathome.com/shop/medium-recycled-paper-small-pet-bedding-by-pets-at-home-16097

What are your opinions for the best litter?

It is bio catolet as thats what the store uses and it doesnt say its perfumed and none of the rattys instore are sneezing :blink: Market rasen, lincoln city area, my local vets have people that specialise in small animals etc.

Ok thanx, its not blood its more like when you get a piercing and you get that yellowy type crusty stuff, i shall ring the vets up and see if they can give any information. Thanx

Ive had my ratty for a week now today and since i got him he's been sneezing. Last wednesday i set his cage up and i used woodshavings/sawdust, YES i now know not to use it and i changed it to a paper based cat litter the store uses, and he's still sneezing and gets like dried crusties on his...

Wow id love to have one like that but space wont allow neither will parents or dogs lol looks great tho.

Yes something like that. Ok thanx, thinking about the lino im assuming your meaning the felt backed stuff you can buy off big rolls?

Ok thanx, so just cut the lino to the right size and use something to hold it in place? I assume the ladders would be ok as wire ones? I have been thinking about possibly taking them out and using some of those plastic corner shelves and lots of climbing toys. The link is the type of cage i...

Lol thanx for the info. Ive seen another cage to but it has wire shelves and ramps, how would i go about "modding" them so the ratties feet are ok? is it as simple as getting some fleece and attaching it to the shelves?

i keep looking in the local newspaper classifieds, will look on gumtree, What do you think of the ones i listed?

Yeah he was getting biscuits and he made a new friend lol

Haha great name lol

Ive since found other cages: Ive put them in order of ones im thinking of, the first one im thinking about the most. What do people think of these ones? Pros and cons for them all please. http://www.justcages.co.uk/products/liberta-rat-and-rodent-cage...

Oh yeah soo much fun, we used to take one of ours to the beach and she went on holiday with us to :lol: You'll have to warn your wife to not wear stockings/tights around it or she risks ladders ferrets seem to think that legs that aint bare are for climbing up lol

Wow go for it hope it goes great for you, that was never an option for us cos we had/have dogs that would love to pick a fight with them lol Just a thought, i dont know if you'd thought of it but it might be worth keeping a small cage open so they/it can retire to it if they want to.
