Sick rat! I can't think of anything I can do!?
So yes I know what I did was wrong, about a monto again I went to my less feed to get some stuff for my pets, and I show the cutest little naked rat, ever since my mom had her naked rat I have always wanted one, so I got him a dig nice cage and toys and hammocks (I plan to get him a friend and a bigger cage with more toys in itπ) but what I started to notice his sneezing, 2 things I thought, 1 the bedding, I used the bedding I use for my bunny and the new home sneezes, so I changed his bedding to these pellet paper bedding and he was still sneezing and what I thought was bloody noses but turned out to be his snot, so I looked it up and found to use a very small amount of amoxicillin and it lighted up his sneezing quite a bit but it never stopped so I called my vet that takeshe my little and reptile animals and he said sorry we only take mice not rats, so I'm stuck, I can't find any other vet that takes rats, just mice π‘ so I have to play vet, I was doing research and found Mycoplasma Pulmonis, from what I have been reading there are some things I can do to lighten the sneezing but no longterm help, will my rat be in pain with this, can this kill him, what should I do!
2 AnswersRodents5 years agoWhat is the safest website to buy a python and witch websites should I avoid?
I'm new to buying reptiles over the Internet, never have done it befor, well never really thought of it before now, I found out about piebald ball pythons and I feel in love, so I started to look around for them and there are no breeders close to me so I would have to get one off the Internet, but I have heard bad things about people doing so and I'm a little scared, I don't want to buy a snake for like 300 to 500 $ and receive it sick then it might pass, not only would it be heat braking but that much money for nothing, so any suggestions, I have a tank all set up, 80 to 85 on the hot side and in the 70s on the cool side in a 50 gallon tank with a hid on the cold side one on the hot side and a most hid in the middle with a big water dish I have a thermometer on each side and a humiditymeter in the middle, any suggestions on anything else I should get will be very helpful as well, I'm a little new to ball pythons, but not new with snakes, please and thank you π
1 AnswerReptiles5 years agoCan I put gerbils in a cage made for rats?
I got a cage I say is to small for rat, my rat is still growing and I plan on getting him a much bigger cage, and I might even be getting him a friend, but my question is what can I do with the cage in the picture below, I was thinking maybe a couple of mice but I feel like it will be to big and make the mice feel unsafe so then I thought gerbils, but don't they like to dig and stuff like that, if I can house ether of them in the cage, what would I have to change to make it safe and how many can I house 2, 3 or more or less or is there a different animal I can put in there happily

1 AnswerReptiles5 years agoBall Python Help?
I have had corn snakes for a long time and my last one was much sweet little man, he passed away 2 months ago, at the beginning of last mouth I decided to get a ball python, I have always been interested in them and think they would be a pretty cool pet, so I got my little girl Viper, fell in love with her the first day, did not curle up into a ball when I help her at the pet store and when I opened her box to put her in other her new home she was already on her way out, and was moving around her tank for the rest of the night, now my concern is that she's always moving, she's pretty small, she's eating pinkys and fit's in a 10 gallon, even when fully stretched out she still has room left, but I just read that if a Python is moving around a lot then it must not be happy, at the moment she is in a 10 gallon with a water dish and hid, with a heat lap and coconut husk bedding, wants she starts to grow out of the 10 gallon witch I'm think in like December so like 4 months or even soon, Im going to put her in a 50 gallon, but it's more tall then ground space, in that tank I'm going to have 3 hides a cool and hot side, claiming branches, and a dish big enough for her to get all the way in, and I'm prepared to up grade her if it comes to that, but my question is still am I not giving her the right stuff, I don't want to put her in the 50 gallon because I herd a lot of space can stress out baby snakes, any suggestions I'm happy to hear, I want her to be happy and healthy, thanks π

I fully understand the feed as that's the only thing that it helped me with but what u need/want to know is how to set up the cage, Google and YouTube told me how to set up other kinds of gardener snakes tanks but the red-sided as long as how big of a tank, I would like to keep two, and I also would like to know if that's a safe number should I add 1 or more, and so what size tank, that kind of stuff. Any info is well needed, heat, food, Bedingfield, hides, size of tank, how much to feed and so on. Only have owned corn snakes and ball pythons, thank you for the help!
