Care of Mice and Rats

A rat's normal temperature ranges from 100-103F [38-39C]

Yes, Norwegian rats are most commonly secondary consumers. This is because it is an omnivorous. But, if it consumes plants, then it may be considered as a primary consumer.

A mouse's ear may be itchy and bleeding due to infections, parasites, trauma, or skin conditions. It's important to seek veterinary care to determine the exact cause and provide proper treatment to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.

Yes, sexually mature sibling cats can and will mate with each other, if you let them. Letting them mate with each other is, of course, a very, very bad idea, as inbreeding among any species causes numerous birth defects and deformities. If you plan on keeping a male and a female that are brother and sister in the same household, you must get them neutered/spayed.

Furthermore, when a male cat becomes sexually mature, he will also try to mate with his mother, if she is around. Unlike humans -- well, most humans, anyway -- cats (and dogs) do not recognize that having sex with members of your family is a major no-no. So if you plan on keeping a mother cat and her son in the same household, at least one of them must be neutered/spayed.

We call them rats because their scientific name is Rattus norvegicus. All the pet and lab rats are belonging to this species. The tiny black colour, house hold rats are under the species of Rattus rattus.The strain name depends on what kind of rat it is.l

A panda has black and white fur and is known to have a distinct color pattern that gives it a unique appearance.

The smallest of all rodents is the pygmy jerboa, pygmy mouse, or the harvest mouse. The shrew family are not rodents, as rodent only have 4 teeth, and shrews have many teeth. Shrews are also one of a few mammals with poison glands. The smallest tailless rodent is the roborovski hamster, measuring only two inches in adulthood.

There are two base colors of rats, black and agouti. Agouti is the 'wild-type' rat, and it is designated with an A and is dominant. Black is the recessive form of agouti, and is designated with an a. So if you have a black rat, he is doubly recessive (aa). When you say 'white rat', I'm assuming you mean your rat is a pink-eyed-white or an albino. Rats can get this way in two different ways, either they are homozygous for albinism (cc) or they have so many other recessives that it washes out their color entirely. I am willing to bet it is an albino, as they are very common in pet stores.

The problem with albinos is that when a rat is homozygous for albinism (cc), it makes them albino no matter what their other genes are. This rat could have all kinds of recessives hidden or it could have none. Since you bred your two rats and got both black and 'white' babies, I would say that your black rat carries the albino gene 'c' and your albino rat does not carry any recessives that your black rat has, except for black of course (a). So your albino rat is technically a black rat with two copies of the albino gene. I know it seems kind of confusing =)

Bacteria are consumed by various organisms including protists, fungi, and other bacteria. Predatory bacteria such as Bdellovibrio and Vampirococcus also feed on other bacteria by invading and using them as a food source. Additionally, bacteriophages, which are viruses that infect bacteria, can also help control bacterial populations.

A baby civet around 5 days old would typically be fed a special milk formula designed for young mammals, like kitten or puppy formula. It's important to consult a wildlife rehabilitator or exotic animal veterinarian for specific feeding guidelines to ensure the baby civet receives proper nutrition and care.

Type your answer here... Yes... but only if you sit still long enough.

rats ate the dead bodies in the trenches and also carried round disease. soldiers made a game out of teasing them in with food then hitting and killing them. rats ate the dead bodies in the trenches and also carried round disease. soldiers made a game out of teasing them in with food then hitting and killing them.

What you want to do is this. Do an oil change with Valvoline high mileage 5-30. A can of 6 cylinder engine treatment. an a fram high mileage oil filter . this will cost about $30 at wal-mart. It took me years to figure this combo out. but they will quiten down and will get louder when your within 500 miles of oil change. so when it makes the noise its time for an oil change. The rodeo is notorius for the valves rattleing.

try a heavier weight oil maybe 15w30 or 15w40 you shouldn't have to do this but it may quiet them down for awhile. Either way you should have it checked by a mechanic.

the golden eagle is aquila chrysaetos........

Mice typically hide in dark, secluded areas during the daytime to avoid predators. Common hiding spots include inside walls, behind appliances, in cabinets, and under furniture. They prefer places that are warm, quiet, and close to a food source.

Signs that a laboratory mouse may be sick include lethargy, hunched posture, reduced appetite, weight loss, respiratory distress, and abnormal behavior. Regular health monitoring and observations of physical symptoms can help identify illness in mice. Consulting a veterinarian for a thorough examination and diagnosis is recommended if a mouse is suspected to be sick.

It is unlikely that all of your mice die suddenly of old age. There must have been disease/virus/bacteria etc that caused the death of the mice. One mouse probably caught it and introduced it to the others. If you had just recently gotten a new mouse and introduced it to the others without quarantine, it could have had an infectious disease that ended up killing all the mice. This illustrates the importance of quarantine when you buy a new mouse. If they had been eating the same food then it may also have been something they had eaten - they could have eaten something poisenous.

Mice constantly groom themselves so be sure it's that and not actually pulling hair out. If you see no bald spots it's grooming. If the mouse is pulling hair out she's upset over something or, could have a skin problem. If it continues much longer please take your mouse into the vets. Marcy

When engine temperature climbs near to 100C this light turns on. But this is a late response to alert you that your engine can burn. I suggest you install a numeric thermometer. It's worth knowing the light is wired to the oil pressure light via a diode (like an electrical one-way valve) This is so the bulb lights with the ignition on but the engine stopped- renault's cheap yet reliable way of letting you know the bulb's not blown. (otherwise it would only ever illuminate upon overheating!) The product of this, to the observant, is the lights work simultaneously on normal starting and stopping, giving the (wrong) impression something's amiss.

To make a maze to test a rat's level of intelligence, you can start by designing a maze with multiple paths and dead ends. Make sure to include rewards, like food, at the end of successful paths to motivate the rat to navigate the maze. Consider adding obstacles or challenges that require problem-solving skills to overcome. Record the rat's progress and time taken to complete the maze to evaluate its intelligence level.

Rabbits and rats are two distinct species with different characteristics and evolutionary histories. While they may share some similarities in their appearance, behaviors, and dietary preferences, they have distinct anatomical, physiological, and behavioral differences that set them apart. Additionally, rabbits belong to the order Lagomorpha, while rats belong to the order Rodentia.

yes i think they are because they eat leafs and acorns

The scientific name of tarpon is Megalops Atlanticus.
