So, Snickets and Wiggles decided to gang up on me today and not eat. I think Snickets didn't eat due to low temps last night. We turned our heater off (Got worried about Carbon Monoxide) and the one time we do that in weeks, she decides to hang out in the cool hide. That's the only reason I can think of why she didn't eat. The lowest it could have gotten would be 70.
Wiggles seems to be going through a temper tantrum. Hissing, bad shed, one retained eye cap... He was fine up until today, I went to go change his tub and he wouldn't let me. Kept hissing and blocking his body so I couldn't pick him up.
So, I'm left with a medium rat and a small rat. The medium rat is ok, seems to be acting like a normal rat (Cute bugger too). The small one I'm worried about. I put him in Micron's tub at first, and he found the first crook he could and stayed there. Micron wasn't interested in him, so I switched the rat with Wiggles cuz his was moving around alot more. Micron took his rat almost instantly, Wiggles still didn't.
I'm wondering if there could possibly be something wrong with the rat since two snakes refused him. He's very lethargic, doesn't move much at all really. The rats at the store weren't in very great condition. I saw a dead one in the racks (already decomposing) and also one that had patches of lost fur. Now I know NOTHING of rats, so if someone could help out that would be fantastic!!!
Never thought I would be worried about the health of a rat, but here I am. If he's suffering I'd feel so bad, and would like to end his misery somehow.
