i recently got two 9 week old female rats (they were 8 1/2 weeks when i got them) for my 12th birthday. mines name is Ozzy (after ozzy osbourne) because i had a male rat named ozzy and the next day i found out he had mites so i carried on the name. i want to know how i can teach her her name, ive tried calling her with a treat in my hands which sometimes works, and when i hold her ill say "hi ozzy!" softly and i say hi ozzy when i pass her cage. are there any other ways that i can teach her? how old should she be before i bathe her and clip her nails? thanks alot!

I love my hamster and I often want to give him a treat, but he doesn't like strawberries and celery like most hamsters. I buy the special hamster treats but sometimes I don't have them, what else do you think I can give him?

I wasn't sure if the spacing between the wires on the cubes would be too big that they would excape? (Large rats) Are they good at squeezing through stuff? Do they make the wire cubes things with smaller spacing? If this won't work, what kind of wiring could I buy to make my own rat cage that would suffice?

Thanks!!!

I had a golf-ball-sized tumor removed from my rat's armpit area for $327. It included the initial vet visit fee, the biopsy fee, and the medication afterwards. Is this a reasonable price, or did I get ripped off?

I have two male rabbits that I took on earlier this year as their previous owner didn't want them anymore and was planning on killing them. I've had them both neutered and they are always together so they must have a good bond. My older brother has asked if I can take on another unwanted, badly treated rabbit from someone who rescued it from a young boy who wasn't caring for it properly. The woman who currently has the rabbit has said she will take him to the vet to be neutered. My two rabbits live in an enclosure which is approximately 10feet x 8feet x 10feet x 8feet and around 6 - 7feet high and have a hutch in there too, I let them out of the hutch in the morning and shut them in again late at night. My question is, am I doing the right thing taking on another rabbit and are they likely to fight, or will they settle down and be good company for each other? I'd like to give the rabbit a good home, but not if it's going to cause trouble with the other two!

1.) Can 3 FEMALE guinea pigs fit into a 3x3 or would that be pushing it?

2.) Anyone recommend a Veggie/Vitamin C feeding schedule? I know that they are supposed to have a cup of veggies daily but any on recommend a schedule?

3.) Not too important but which pair of names do you like best?

-Kiwi and Coconut
-Star and Angel
-Oreo and KitKat

First things first I am not breeding my rats- just so we're all clear on that, but I am trying to understand rat genetics- my question is regarding himmy or siamese rats, would you breed such a rat to an albino or other high white rat- I think this mating would result in faint markings, or albino offspring- or do you breed to another Himmy/siamese. Can you breed a Himmy to say a black hooded, and produce himmy babies- or do both parents absolutely have to carry c/ch or ch/ch genes?
I hope I don't sound silly, but I really want to know everything about my rats..
When breeding himalayan cats, each parent cat absolutely must carry the himalayan gene to reproduce himalayan offspring- I'm wondering if the same is true for rats?

Thanks

how good a pet is a ferret, what would be the implications of buying one (feeding, exercise, poop, etc), and finally, could they really be trained to sit on your shoulder?

PS: ferrets are rodents, right?
