But I'm just so excited to tell you this!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just checking Natty's babies tonight and their coats have grown in more since last night. You know the...
Hey Everyone, A friend sent me this article from today's NY Times. Good ratty PR, for the most part. Enjoy, Mell Ratz and catz For Sniffing Out Land Mines, a...
Hey Everyone, I noticed something today, and I was wondering if anyone else had had a similar experience. About 3 months ago, I had to have one of my rats,...
From what I understand, Mell, it's normal. The testosterone in his system is greatly deminished so his chemical make up is now closer to that of a female rat...
Hali, I remember you mentioning that there was a vet here in town that was starting to work with rats - we discovered one of ours that has developed misaligned...
My Dog's vet, Dr. Hendrix has done some work with rats and small rodents before. He helped me hand raise a litter of mice once and I remember him being good...
Mell called me yesterday morning - Athens Veterinary Clinic, right? Dmitry took Freya there and was VERY pleased. The doctor even said to bring in Down...
Dr. Hendrix is great with Butterscotch. He's really personable and reasonably priced as well. He'll try to work with you, holding checks up to two weeks, etc....
Well, Down was supposed to go in today for her tumor removal, but Dmitry got called in to work (grrrrrrrrr), so she's going in on Thursday morning. So, be...
On the subject of her developing tumors, is it possible she was simply exposed to a particular carcinogen? I noticed my line seemed to have extreme amounts of...
Mine have NEVER had chlorinated water - we have always filtered the water (including removing the chlorine), and she has been exposed to exactly the same...
Weird, it's not caused by carcinogens, so it'd have to be genetic, though it's odd for that to develop in a line otherwise void of the problem. I'm glad she...
He did a great job with Down, and free follow-up. He does have a lot to learn about rats - he wanted us to have her fast, and he didn't provide any pain...
Please e-mail April directly as time is of the essence. :*( ... wrote: > From: "1 spouse and 5 kids" <heitman7@...> ... ===== Sandra Beasley and the...
Hey Everyone, Amy wanted me to extend an invitation to everyone to attend the GARMCA cookout in Kennesaw on July 10th. Here is the information: Just want to...
Well, Yang had suffered solitary confinement for awhile now due to his aggression, so I thought I would try reintroducing him to his cage mates and see how it...
I'm selling my Martin's Cage (R-690) for $50.00 if anyone wants it. I used it just for one year so it's in top condition. It's the powder coated one that...
Let me check our financial situation - I'm between temp gigs, but I do have unemployment coming in. We could use an extra cage (we could always use an extra...
Hey - I just talked to Dmitry and he thought it best that we wait until we see what we have left after we get Gretchen's tumor removed. It is likely it will...
Mell told me some people are adopting the ratties he and I have been supporting through Rathens at the Shelter and the people who want them want a martin's...
... Yay!! :-) ... I noticed that :-O ... Hey, that would be fabulous. If that doesn't go through, once I've paid for Gretchen's surgery and if you still have...
With the help and support of Rathens, The Athens Humane Society currently has adopted out all it's fostered and sheltered rats! There are currently no rats...
A good friend of mine finds herself in a position wherein she's unable to take care of her four rats any longer. She has four. 2 males, true black berks...
Some of you may remember that we had a tumor removed from our Molly girl in December. At that time she was about 18 months old. It's back. On the bright...
Well, I'd say Down is adjusting pretty well to having her inner ear problem. Yeah. I just went into the bedroom after something and happened to notice...
We all know rats have been used in a lot of scientific research, and even sent into space, but did you know that the VERY FIRST rats in space were sent into...
Yeah - I found the rest - the focus was that they sent a couple dogs up there and as an addendum there were a bunch of mice, two rats and some other animals ....
OK, so the main group is in Switzerland and the leader of this group seems to be in Italy (?), but hey, there is a conservation group out there SPECIFICALLY...
She had her surgery today and she's back home. Her feelings were hurt terribly to have to go through that again and the growth was pretty huge by the time we...
Glad Molly's home. Children are expensive. Butterscotch's puppy care was $500.00. Thank goodness, you can get insurance on dogs. UGA is expensive, but for ...
