  Kim D. asked:

  Where can I find the dilution rate for amoxicillin 500mg capsule for a little rattie the now ways less than a pound? Capsules are expired but hopefully they have some properties left that will work until I can get new ones. I have a girl who has lost a ton of weight and I have been listening to her but never heard wheezing or anything that suggested respiratory issue until today. She’s really struggling and I want to do what I can to help her. I can not take her to a vet today. I put a vaporizer with plain water near her cage. She won’t eat now because she’s gasping. I feel so bad because this happened so quickly with the respiratory issue. Hoping I can get her to lick something with the amoxicillin in it.

  Okay i posted last night about our little Charlie who sprained his leg yesterday. Can anyone with experience giving rats liquid children's ibuprofen tell me how to gage the amount to give him? And maybe a good place to get a rat friendly scale? He's under a year and on the plump side, but I just want to make sure I do it right. Thank you!

  So my boyfriend and I are getting two male ratties soon, and I need help thinking of names for them :) Also, the last time I had rats was when I was little so if anybody has any tips or useful info on their care, what they can eat, type of cage, toys and such to put in their cage, etc it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Also, if there are any breeders in my area I would much rather adopt from a breeder than get one from a pet store. I live in the Northwest Indiana/Illinois border area Pic for attention

  Stay away from those snack shack things as they can cause blockage, but the best rat food would have to be oxbow or mazuri. For cages it needs to be big enough for the number of rats you have, if the levels are wire then you should cover that up with fleece so they don't get bumble foot. But you can check out myratfriends.com they have a lot of info on there :)
