I went ahead and placed an order.
I brought home a Tylan 50 bottle and switched. It's day 5 and I'm not seeing improvement from the Doxycycline. I'm too impatient to wait or to find them even worse than before. During my major sanitizing spree I lost an entire hold back litter. Long story short my dog began to freak out, I ran back to the room and he was laying by the momma tub. All of the babies were killed and a stow away male I just received was inside eating them. The poor momma was in shock, curled into herself against the wall. The other soon to be momma leaped out of the tub when I took the lid completely off. It looks to me that he chewed through his metal tank lid and then managed to pop one of the tub click sides. In all my years of raising rats I have never seen this.
Should I kill of the stinking baby killer or accept it as nature? I know males will eat babies that arent theirs but this is digusting. I had a beautiful self siamese dumbo rex female with amazingly dark even points killed by him today.![]()
