So in the past two days, I have had two rats develop neurological issues, both females cam from a store sold as feeders. I have not had the greatest luck finding good well taken care of rats to start my colony... I do not know what is causing this... both litters that’s these females have produced are healthy as can be... I did notice they have been lathargic the past few days and just thought it might be the “mommy woes”.... I do believe a couple of the rats I have been able to obtain did have or begun to have URI’s and between the GF and I we have been administering antibiotics (she is a vet tech and the vet we deal with said the antibiotics would not harm pregnant/nursing rats and along with the litter)....

any help is greatly appreciated....
