Re: Hiding medication
Wet style dog meat was always a winner with me. Just the tiniest bit would cover anything!

Re: Rats and Dogs living together.
Exactly the same!! My sheltie pup has discovered that I don't want him to go under the shed... I've spent all morning dragging him out! Where are the men to move some bricks when you need them?

Re: Question about rats: e-cigarette safety
Oh I've had many talks about them. Asking them to stop. It never lasts long. It's the same with my mum at home where my dad uses one, it gets at her throat.

Re: Question about rats: e-cigarette safety
My workplace sells e-cigarettes as a side business. To be honest, I wouldn't have rats anywhere near the office. I have colleagues who are on them all day and it really changes the air in the office, its dry and smells strong. Its terrible on my throat and I constantly have coughs because of them. T...

Re: Rats and Dogs living together.
I always find with dogs (I own a Sheltie pup and two Border Collies) is that if you actively stop them going to a certain area then that's where they will always want to be! Why not try keeping the curious one on a lead so that you can easily break up any situation and importantly without hovering o...

Re: Poundland tea towels
I created some hammocks out of microfibre tea towels. Not the Poundland ones specifically but something similar. They lasted forever and were such good value for money! They were a big hit with the boys, I just couldn't bare to touch them! ha ha. The feeling of them really goes through me! http://i1...

Re: scabs and cuts on shoulders, already treated with iverme
Have you trimmed his back nails? When I treat mites I always do a trim and file of nails to stop them doing any more damage. Did you say it had been less than a week since first treatment? I have found it takes 3 weeks for everything to fully calm down on the skin. My vets told me to do one drop on ...

Re: How old do you think she is ?
Oh no
How are they getting on? Poor little mites. I was going to poke the OH and see if we could get them to rehome, no room at the inn at the moment but that tub was so small even temporarily!

Re: Operation for an Abscess?
My boy Howard had to have a second op to drain a post neuter abscess. Although they weren't 100% sure it was an abscess, it was a suspected hernia. He recovered fast after the op and it didn't return

Re: death during castration
Oh, no! I'm so sorry to hear this! Poor little man!
I haven't heard of it before but I'm not an expert on the topic. All I have is; was the vet recommended? I went especially to a recommended vet to have my boys castrated, cost a lot more but I knew they were in experienced hands.

Re: First castration worries!
I kept my boys separated when I got them both castrated - due to them fighting so I didn't want them after each other after the op! But I have heard people putting a calm friend with them. I gave them a basic layout, very low and flat. Nothing challenging but enough to keep them busy and not start f...

Re: Do your rats use their wheel?
None of my boys use their wheel. One boy doesn't like it, two boys just ignore it altogether and the forth... He does sit in it and will walk it a half turn on the odd occasion but none of them use it for it's intended purposes.

Re: Logging me out.
I find the forum will log you out when you change from Wifi to wifi or from wifi to 3G. The change in internet connect logs me out.
If I don't come on the forum till I get home but leave the tab open I won't be logged out which made me believe it was the different connections that do it.
