My rats are just standard feeder rats turned into pets, so I'm not really sure exactly what kind they are.
They are two females:
Sweetheart, because she's my little sugar lump, and
Yesenia. She was named after the doctor who isolated the bubonic plague bacterium.
And whoever named their mouse De-con, well, that's the funniest thing I heard all day. I love it!

(Rat People Only!) How can I save my favorite girl's litter?!?
I know quite a bit from experience already but I've never had this problem before:
I have a 6-month-old female with very desireable genetic traits and a great personality, whom I wish to breed. Her first litter was destroyed either by her or by her female roommate who was also pregnant at the time (I had heard that leaving them together was a good thing, but apparently it can also be very bad). Now she is alone. I put her with the same male during her post-partum estrus since she had no babies to care for and she gave birth to her second litter stress-free, only 8 babies and for the first 2 days she took great care of them, but this morning of day 3 there is one gone. There is no way of escape and nowhere else for it to be, and no blood (added to the existing birth fluids). She had to have eaten it. I have a couple options here to save the rest. Should I:
Answers:
i think you should do this...this is what i would dooo...be carefull how much you touch them..she may not like that.make shure to keep an eye on her and give her attention.she may want alot of attention..n if all eles fails seperate them to save the babies..
should you:... what?
Make sure she is by herself and keep your hands out until they open their eyes.
I have had sereval rat litters and if you touch them alot or get to close and the mom isn't comfortable with it then she will eat them. I know it's tempting but no touching the babies.
I would say A because when I tried to foster rats to another mother it didn't work to well and sometimes they would be attacked, but if anything, not C, the survival rate for fostering baby rats, especially pinkies is low, I would leave them alone, but if it gets worse I would try fostering.
It is very common for rats and other rodents to eat their first litter. If she does get pregnant again, I would keep her seperate from other adult rats, and just hope for the best.
I have had two female rats pregnant before at the same time, and they both gave birth on the same day. It was really cute, because they both took turns taking care of their litter, and the other rats litter also.
Make sure though, not to clean the cage until the new babies are at least a week old. That could stress the new mom out, causing her to eat her young. Only feed them, and give them water, and just wait.
this is what your should do make sure there is plenty of food that she likes and she will only eat the babies if she doesn't think it will make it. there is no telling if they are sick or not . the human eye can not see this only the mother will no. so maybe getting rid of that baby will keep the others to survive.. but there should be no worries. if there is plenty of food and water
don't touch them if u have that is y she eat it.
well she just might not know what to do i would leave them be with there mom and continue to moniter her also make sure she gets good nutricious treats because she is a nursing mother whatever you do dont touch the babys period if you want to leave them with Momma

"clicking" rat?
i have a 6-8 month old female rat and jut recently he ha tarted "clicking"and not eating...she drinks but wont eat.she i getting skinny too! i dont know what to do!The nearet vet that properly treats rats is who knows where so...is thi deadly? will she get over it?help.
Answers:
You should have taken her to the vet when it first started. The "clicking" you can hear is difficulty breathing brought on by a respiratory infection. If she isn't eating get her to the vet RIGHT AWAY, you shouldn't have left her until she started losing so much weight.
I've got to be honest with you - if she's not eating her outlook isn't good. She may need intensive nursing for a few days with antibiotics and feeding milk with a dropper if she's not eaten in a long time. And surely the health and wellbeing of an animal you love is worth ANY distance??
I would suggest you start calling around to your local vets and find out where the closest small animal vet is.
Check her teeth, they may be overgrown. She may not be able to eat if her teeth are too long.
What other symptoms does she have?
I think a regular vet could help you with the rat as a lot of people have them for pets...she is ill and unless she gets to the vet and gets some meds ;she;s not going to make it ...good luck
shes having trouble breathing. is it possible that she was a runt?
If you absoulutley cannot find a vet then you can also get her checked out at a petstore or something. They won't treat her but they can probably tell you what is wrong so you know what precautions to take and what to do until you can see a vet.
seperate them first off untill you find out what is wrong. try looking up a vet that treats them it's easyier then you think. try feeding her something really yummy and see if that gets her to eat. like peanut butter cookies. it's not good for her but at least it is something. it's possible the other rat is to aggressive and is eatting all the food. that could make her thinner and prone to ill ness. gett her to a vet as soon as possible.
she should go to the vet. it could be a myco flare up or it could be a respiratory infection. in both cases she'll need antibiotices to help her get better.
i think maybe she might not like the food. you should try to change the food as soon as possible or take her to the vet!
