    When you talked about rescuing snails, I can tell you that's definitely a needed thing!! I rescued 12 Fulica 3 weeks ago, they were kept in an overcrowded environment and had to be adopted. A friend of mine has rescued Marginata Ovums before from bad keepers who don't give calcium / protein. I've even seen snails in need of rescue that were kept on WOOD SHAVINGS. So the giant snail community really needs more people looking to rescue

    I have 2 siamese boys and I love them sm(their names are Chip and Gus)! I didn't know they were going to be siamese when they were younger because their coat colours started to change when they were about 6/7 weeks old, but now they are practically twins and hard to tell apart.

    People don't realize how expensive proper rat care is. My rats weigh less but cost more per month then my 25lb dog and 17lb cat combined. I just got a burmese boy to breed the colour combo into my rexes I'm so excited! I'm sitting at two young boys, Big guy and Gus gus. Two older boys, Marshmellow and Maurice. They all have either the hairless rex or the wired rex gene in them. I have four retired old ladies, Cornflower, Buttercup, Rose and Moxi and two younger ladies Brena and Shiloh. My computer room is my rat room and Maurice and Big guy are cuddled on my lap while I type this. I love my rat babies and Love your videos.

    Dumbos seemed to be *ever so* slightly more chilled out than standard when I had 4 of them as 2 pairs of brothers, (only a couple of weeks difference in age, so they mingled when young perfectly) but then again it could easily just be the personalities - Monty with Mikey (dumbos) just happened to be a bit more relaxed than Twix and Crunchie. It meant the dumbos got FAT though, and then it probably became self-fulfilling.

    For me, the Answer is: way too much rat poo!
    I just fostered two girls. The additional two rats have ust made cleaning an over the top chore now.
    I am up to my elbows in rat poop. These two were never litter trained and that's the reason why I don't like taking care of more than four rats at a time.
    The difference between for rats and 6 rats is significant. Especially if they're not litter trained.

Her sister Jellybean whom I got her with, is the same age (more than 2 and a half) and I feel bad because I give pudding so much more attention. I also have a question for em, I am in the process of moving rn, and when I do I will be able to free roam my rats again, but for the past like 3-6 months, I haven't been able to ass the only spare room we had was being used. I'm moving in like a month or less, is this considered animal neglect? As I feel really bad but there's nothing I can do.

    Hi, if it’s not too much trouble, could I have some advice? From you or any other mice owners in the comments!! I’m looking to get a group three to four female mice sometime in the next month. I know all the basics of their care, but wanted to know if my cage is big enough. It’s a wired cage that’s 540sq inches (30in by 18) and about 17 inches tall. How many female mice could this comfortably fit? I’d also really appreciate any info about their dietary needs! I haven’t been able to find much info on that.

However, my parents want to wait till September so that my grandmother, who will be taking care of them during summer vacation, won't need to take care of as many mice. Please tell me and my parents what we should do.

      So sorry for your loss ☹️ you definitely need to get another mouse, preferably two ASAP in the next few days or weeks, a few months to us doesn’t feel very long but for a mouse having to live in isolation that long it can be very damaging to their mental health. If you get some now and introduce them to live together before summer they won’t be any harder for your grandma to look after than one mouse ☺️

      Thank you! Just feel a bit overwhelmed with where to start when it comes to specifically how to go about doing it in the UK, i'm so used to seeing mostly US 'service dogs', wish there were more people UK based making content showing how they've gone about it!
