I’ve been trying to train my rats to use the litter box but they are too lazy to use it when I’m not there, when I’m in the room they use the litter box but when I’m asleep or at work they go everywhere else and it’s a mess. How do I know this, whenever I have a day off they use the litter box but when I don’t have a day off they don’t use it 😅 I love them so much but I just wanna train them to use the litter box Also here is a cute picture of the guilty culprits

this is my girl rolo, she’s about 2 now and recently iv noticed some changes and im really worried. she had 2 lumps, one under her armpit and one by her private area but only thumbnail size, not too bad. but recently she’s began to lose a lot of weight to the point i can feel her spine, she isn’t really interested in her solid food i give her she kind of just sits there and looks at it, she doesn’t pick it up but will attempt to eat if i hold it. iv been giving her liquids like baby food and some custard because it’s her favourite however iv noticed she’s began to walk funny. she sort of walks to one side and doesn’t walk upright anymore, she had no energy and used to be so full of it, im so worried about her she’s like my little baby girl, she also keeps trying to throw herself off my bed which she never used to do? someone help please what shall i do!

Is there any different type of bedding and stuff I can give my my rats

My mom doesn't know any stuff to give it she just gives it whatever

She calls herself an expert rats to me it's just another lack of research

She did not make it to her appointment. Cancer sucks. It's really tripping me out because I was holding her when it happened. I felt it. She sounded happy, though.

I have two 2.8 year old males (white one is Remoraid and the brown/white one is Domino) who have been at each other’s throats constantly for the last few weeks seemingly for no reason. They’ve stopped playing with their toys and either just lay around or fight with each-other. I’ve been separating them so that remoraid can heal his injuries, but beyond that I’m at a loss. They used to cuddle and be so sweet with each-other but I’m getting worried they might kill each-other. I can’t always be home to moniter them and while I have ample space for free roam and two large cages when they need separating I’m not sure what else I can do for them, any help is appreciated!

How long should she stay separated from her cagemate? When it is safe to let her out for a frew roam (usually she roams all around my room). How small should the temporary housing be?

This is a picture from last week. They did not eat the entire mini pumpkin pie, we gave them half to nibble on. They ate a small amount and we gave the rest to our dogs (spilt amongst 4 dogs). Anyway, please wish my child luck!

Hi! My rat juno had recently been put on medication for something but also some for mites that we apply once a week, the only problem is that the scabs that are forming on her back due to them she won’t stop scratching so they won’t heal or help. How do I get her to stop scratching them?

So for context my rat is 3 and unfortunately lives on his own now, but for the past few months when ever he eats he runs up to his food bowl and eats on top of it. He's never done this before and I was just wondering if there was a reason behind this? I haven't trained him to do this
