Rodents - Answered Questions & Fixed Issues

Watch and see when the rat goes for food. Then set out the food and watch so when it comes out shoot it with a BB gun.

It's better to use shampoos which are designed specifically for guinea pigs. After all, human shampoos differ and differ significantly and that's why it's quite hard to give a versatile answer. The same goes for food. It's better to use well-designed feed. Yeap, some products like bananas can be given to your guinea pigs but there are some aspects you should pay your attention to.

Another question for the rat section.

Depends on the school and the problems they are having. But random testing deters the use of drugs.

Internal injuries.

I can see why this is in the rodent section.

No. Ham comes from a pig.

You can do a lot more activities with a cat. Inside and outside of the house.

An aggressive rat can bite the cat if it is a docile cat.

Not very favorable.

Good luck. I would not like to be put in a situation like that. When we get animals that we intend to process we give them names that imply what they will be. Like sirloin for a cow or bacon for a pig. Although these animals become pets, we are always calling them for what they will become.

Teddy bear hamsters are incredibly cute and make great pets, the common name for what's known as the Syrian hamster. The average lifespan of a teddy bear hamster is about 2-3 years in captivity, and less time in the wild. Individual hamster can live shorter or longer depending on their lifestyle, diet, and care.

A cat would be less of a problem.

How old was she? Going past her due date by a week may not have been the cause (I had a female that delivered two weeks late!), but without a veterinarian doing a post-mortem exam, there's really no way to know. Guinea pigs are very good at hiding health problems until they are critical, so there's a possibility she could have developed ketosis without showing it.

This is probably way too late, but... It will take some effort on your part. You can buy a safe (non-poison) rodent repellent on Amazon. That's only part of the solution, though: you need to make sure that there are no openings to the outside that a mouse could get through (an adult mouse can squeeze through a hole a bit smaller than a dime). If you live in an older home, it may have roof ventilation that is open to the outside; mice can climb very well, so to open vents would need be covered with screen. You can also get live traps - bait them with some peanut butter or sunflower seeds, and leave them before you go to bed where you see there has been activity (gnawed objects or droppings). The next morning, take the traps to a park or meadow/woods and let the little intruders go. Try and relocate them a good distance from your house, or they'll find their way back. IMPORTANT! Don't keep a mouse in a live trap any longer than you need to 8-10 hours max) or the stress will kill them.
