My rat is currently going threw the same thing, I called the vet and asked them what was wrong and the vet said that it's either one of two things.1. It's a urinary infection and you can tell by giving your rat a bath with just warm water and see if the bleeding stops,and if it does make an anointment with the vet as soon as possible so it can be treated!2. It's a mass and you can tell if it's a mass if after you give your rat a bath the bleeding continues. It's a mass. Then it is NOT treatable. The best thing you can do is love them while you have them at that point and let them die peacefully.(I still suggest going to the vet either way though)
Yes, infact, they get it every month, just as much as human women do.
strange, I know.
No, neither mice or rats have 'periods'. A rat will not bleed naturally except during birth.
No. All pet rats are vaccinated.
You can find pet rats in a lot of pet stores, or animal rescues. You can find wild rats just about anywhere.
you sicken me
its not all pet rats its just the ones that are black and white because it looks somewhat like a tuxedo
Yes
No, they can sometimes prevent them!
Pet rats are not vermin. Pet rats are raised in a pet store, laboratory, or adoption center and they are raised to be pets or in the case of labs, experiments. if you are thinking of buying a rat remember not to buy a rat raised as food for snakes. Rats bred to be pets are much gentler and sweeter than rats raised as food.
no
for a pet, or for their predators
no
Pet rats don't have to be cleaned. They are fanatic groomers, and take care of it themselves. -Rat girl <3
