Ok well my little brother (he's only 11) has a very friendly and smart rat and so he was letting him crawl around the kitchen floor and some how he got into the 3 inch hole (that we didnt know about) in one of the cupboards. We've tried getting him out with food, he eats a little bit of it but then when u pull it out farther he wont come, we've tried usin pedro (my rat) to get himout but that doesnt work, we've set food on the floor by the hole and that didnt work either. My mom is getting really frusterated and we dont want to have to cut up the cupbaord so what should we do to get him out?

My friend and I decided to breed our rabbits.
They are the right age, and we already have homes for the babies when they come.
The problem is, all three of his females wont accept him. They're good friends, but the females wont raise their rear to him. So he ends up just 'doing' their back or tail.
We tried to hold the female down to help him, but then he didn't seem interested. Why not?
We need help. This is his first time breeding, and once he got to the female, but it freaked him out and he jumped away from her.
None of them seem to want to be mated, and when they stand still, he just gets their back or tail.

Can someone please help? ;-;

When my younger brother went into his room today to check up on my hamster, he found that my hamster was dead. He (my hamster) had been fine when we checked on him just a few hours before. He was eating normally, drinking plenty of water and was active as always. I checked to see if he could have choked but I couldn’t feel anything lodged in his throat. There was nothing he could have hurt himself on in the cage and when he was found he was laying on his back under his log house. He was a Chinese Hamster, and was about 2 ½ years old. Chinese hamsters are supposed to live between 2-3 years so is it possible he just died of old age or was it something I did?

I am looking into getting a fancy rat I heard they are really smart and loving. I have a few questions. Do they bite? Do they smell bad? And can you really teach them to come?

hi.
i have 2 guinea pigs and one is much larger than the other and the larger one likes to eat. but, whenever he puts his hands on the food bowl it tips over and the food spills everywhere. any ideas on how to stop him from doing that?
i dont want to use duck tape because they might get to the sticky stuff and eat it and die. any other suggestions?
thanks

I have been trying to litter train my pet rat who is about a year old. He is not doing very well for some reason he just doesn 't seem to be getting it. The only place there is litter is in the litter box the rest of his cage doesn't have any. I had to put a box in half of his cage bottom because he was peeing in the corners and not his litter box. Is he too old to train?? Should i just give up? Maybe trying to train with cat litter is not the right choice. What litter do you use with your rats??

Ok, so, my guinea pig doesn't seem to like orange slices, which, we all know, has Vitamin C in them. We have tried these pill looking things, but, my guinea pig doesn't like those, either! We also, have tried the drops for water, which, my guinea pig didn't mind, but it made the water bottle very dirty! Also, our vet said that they weren't the best. Our vet said that our guinea pig needs Vitamin C, since his coat isn't soft, and because they can't produce it themselves! But, my guinea pig doesn't like any of the options! Does anyone have any other ideas? I would really appreciate any guinea pig experts! Thank you SO much!

I have had guinea pigs before in the past, and I have always had one in a cage. I am thinking of getting a guinea pig again and I am wondering if they are lonely being one to a cage and if its better to get 2 ? Is 2 a lot more cleaning than having just one? (almost a stupid question) but i mean is it a big difference to have 2 cleaning wise?
ok thank you...

They have a really big, nice cage. They have each other. I would leave several lab blocks and fresh water on Friday evening. Would they be okay until early Monday morning? I know they would miss me, but they'd get lots of love when I got back.

I am going to PetSmart tomorrow to get 2 rats. But what should I look for when I buy them? And I have searched for rats to adopt but there isnt any in my state and the closet rat breeder is a ways away. So this is my only choice.

So please help me out and tell me what I should look for. Thanks!
