Rats spread the Plague, topic re-railed

Toxoplasma is a parasite which infects rats, and makes them run up to cats and get eaten.

Do the cats then run up to dogs and get eaten?

Do the dogs then run up to goats and get eaten?

Do the goats then run up to cows and get eaten?

And then humans can get toxoplasmosis from da cat pooz and die.

Used to have rats. Wonderful pets. Stupid amounts of cute.

Sweet.

Do they ever break their nocturnal pattern?

Last night she started running on the rat wheel at 3:30am, with a slight squeak in the wheel every revolution.
"She'll tire herself out in a minute, I don't need to ruin her fun"

3 hours later... still running. Why couldn't she have done all this in the day time.

[Retardobot]

Nah.

They get up to all sorts of mischief (topkek) at night.

If your cage is made from wire, they're gonna start gnawing on it. To avoid this, I housed my rats in pretty big fish tanks (minus the water). You can also subside the gnawing by feeding them foods that go a good way to grinding their teeth down (cat biscuits, dog biscuits etc). Their teeth grow insanely fast.

I used to take a piece of bread and put cat biscuits on it and then wrap it up like a dumpling. They loved that shit.

Don't feed them chocolate.

Yell out if you need any more help. I use to actually breed Golden Buff rats and sell to petshops.

This is why I don't eat cat shit.

If Ngati_Grim was still here, would this thread be more or less interesting?

That's all I have to add to this.

more interesting, Ngati was an extremist

I thought Ngati_Grim was Tandoori?

+1 would ask again

Got kept awake for another few hours this morning. It's okay I guess because it means I get to work on time so that I can bother the Macedonians about learning Macedonian.

I have noticed her gnawing on the cage (It's a bird cage lol), but it usually is no more than a second. Is it bad for her teeth / health or are we just worried about escapees?

Did you ever dress your rats up in little tin foil sparticus costumes?

Is there a signature move that they love? Scratch behind the ears? Poking them with large meaty objects? 2 in the goo, 1 in the...?

LASTLY

What was their staple food? Staples? I bet she would eat staples. Did they have a treat they all fuckin' went ape shit over? cat biscuits in bread?

[Retardobot]

Their teeth grow back fast so if they ever did gnaw them down, it wouldn't be too much of an issue. You'd just have to prevent it from happening too much otherwise it'll prevent them from eating a healthy diet. Most of the time you should be worried about NOT providing things that will wear their teeth down. I've seen rats that have teeth so long they can't eat due to having a soft food diet and nothing to gnaw on (remember that episode of The Angry Beavers where Daggett and Norbert grow their teeth into giant balls? Yeah, that)

The lid to their cage when we had them was wire mesh, they would gnaw on it all night long and we never had an issue with their teeth.

Hah, never dressed my rats up in anything. I obviously missed a prime opportunity.

Rats love cat biscuits, sunflower seeds (still in husks, they like cracking them open), bread, chips, nuts and wet catfood. But if you feed them treats too often they become greedy much like people and begin to demand better treats. Oh, and cereal, they love cereal.

Every rat is different. I had a rat that enjoyed being rubbed behind the ears and others that hated it. Most rats love being let loose inside your top, chilling out in a sleeve.

Staple food was me going to the bulk food section, mixing nuts, seeds, cereals and oats and then mixing it with a few cat biscuits.

[Apostrophe Spacemonkey]

I had a pet rat once.


Actually it was a dead rat my cat caught.

[Xsannz]

I had a rat recently, big bastard could hear it in the roof, put in 8 boxes of poison..  recently found the carcass   the body to tail was 45cm  the body was about 28cm long  and yes it was that big,  greyish and goldish coloured fur.  on looking it seems to be a Norway Rat(Rattus norvegicus) apparently the biggest rat nz has in the wild

biggest bastard i ever seen, pity i didn't find the carcass sooner as it rotting caused the ceiling tile to discolour and rot as well, so now have to rejoin a patch in the roof.

This also works quite well on small dogs too
