The BRODENTS! Rodent Enthusiast Thread!

I finally got my rescue boy to start warming up to me He doesn't run anymore, and I am hoping to have him come to the front of the cage when I enter the room by next week. He's an agouti roan boy, and I can't wait for his white to spread

What do you guys know about rats who have special needs? I think my boy North may have special needs. He acts a lot different than the other rats and he's kind of slow when it comes to doing ordinary rat tasks. And im 200% sure that he's healthy.

Edit; Three out of four of my boys love me, they always want to be picked up, they are always running around and playing, but then there is Zander, who hates being touched and just hides in his little bird basket all day. How do I get him to stop being shy? How do I get him to like me?

@CaptainMarvel: Hmm, maybe food? Peas, peanut butter, Cheerios (they can't have too many soft things because then their teeth get all messed up and they have digestive issues) and try to lure him out if he likes 'em. My rats have always been food-motivated, my little girl Tib (rest in peace, sweetheart ;n;) had peanut butter-flavored medicine that she loved XD She would also eat peas, but only if I mushed them up first lol. But anyway, please get a second opinion- I'm no expert and I haven't really dealt with unfriendly rats before, this is just an idea.
@satans__lover: Oh, he's so adorable! <3 I love the ruby eyes, I used to have a rat who had them named Betsy. Good luck with your new friend c:


My little black-hooded rat Winona died a few days ago, in the end of heart failure. She was over 3 1/2 years old, really old, but I'm still so sad~;m; She died a week after her friend Tib. (she had chronic lung problems and was only a year old). Rest in peace, ratties </3

Can anybody tell me what kind of rat (as in colour wise) Kirby is on the previous page? Kirby is the one with the diamond marking on her head.

Broken agouti:)

[Keriae]

Could you snip the pictures? :3 just for people who have slow computers.

She's my baby xD I don't know what I'd do without her tbh; I feel strange when she's not there to be looked after, like if I'm at a friends XD To think she screamed in the beginning if I went near the cage!
