How old is he now? to me he looks like a particularly hairy, hairless. i wouldn't be surprised if with future moults he became totally hairless. but then i'm definitely no expert on varieties. he's certainly a cutie anyway. i hope you get some more answers soon. also if your in the UK Ht would proba...

if there is still infection in it which there probably is it may be worth getting a week or twos course of antibiotics to get the germs out and continue on with the eye drops also. i know vets bill are expensive but thats the responsibility we take on when we get pets. if there is bacteria in or aro...

i hadnt thought of that great idea...............looking at my explorer .......the back panel has the legs so turning that upside down i dont think will be a problem. however, the normal top edge of the back and front panels have drilled holes for the roof grid struts to fit into........if you turn ...

that is awesome i bet it would make a ferrets day too...............would love to see some pics/vids of your ratties playing with it if they like it

looking at my explorer i think it could work but there are going to be a few problem areas where it may weeken the integrity of the cage. ok so if you start from scratchs and do away with any floor grids (and use them as ceilings) as the cage is going to sit on the floor. you will have a problem as ...

Thats so strange i've neve seen anything like it. i hope you and the vets figure it out and hope the poor wee one gets well soon

i've used the bath method before and it always made the initial intro go very smooth indeed :D but later when they all calmed down from the bath....they eventually notice the strangers in the camp.....and the squabbling starts.....but if they get through the next 24 hours without blood shed......tho...

my lot have two litter trays one at the top and one at the botom of the cage that way the lazy bones dont have to go all the way to the bottom to use the loo.this works great for poops........none of mine poop on the shelves ( i have taken out the ones that come with the explorer and use ferplast co...

i know the ratties love their live food the same as any other carnivourouse animal, my boys often used to catch or find spiders and moths and nom on them like i would a juicy cream cake. when i had a large group in an outside shed on free range they used to hunt the woodlice in the panneling...........

lots of people on here have hairless rats i absolutely adore them.
i was wondering though when you say you have one. does he/she have a companion?

do you have any photo's i love photos:D

i agree, my thoughts exactly. i mean you have the opportunity and the money obviousely to design and make whatever kind of shelf you want. and yet you have chose to copy whats already on the market. i understand you trying to make an improvement but its still a corner shelf the same as ferplast make...
