    bloody poo
    I just picked up a couple of feeder rats yesterday and one of them happens to be the cutest naked dumbo rat you've ever seen. I was thinking of keeping her as a pet but I noticed that she was extremely stinky, more so than normal. I picked her up to look at her and she started pooing on me but it was runny and stunk to high heaven and it was red like there was blood in it or something. She also started sneezing and wheezing. I know the sneezing is a symptom of a respiratory infection so i isolated her from the rest of the rats. I guess my question is, is the weird poo part of the respiratory infection as well? And if I feed any sneezy rats to my balls can they catch it?
    thanks!

    That one should be food or disposed of asap.

    Why take the chance of infecting your others, if they're not already.

    I'd also look for a new supplier.

    Doubtful, but your other rats could easily.
