I guess if they weren't related, then it'd be ok!
No need to worry about unwanted litters.
Prehaps it is a dominance issue.
Or is something in or around their cage setting off chemicals which are
interfearing with their hormones?
Are there wild rats in the area whose smell might be "turning them on" -
so to speak?
I've seen male rats do this with each other, but then, that's men for
you (ha ha) - No, alls equal in love and war -
But the explinationfor males is dominance.
Prehaps if they are young females, then this is all part of their
developement - they just have a stronger urge than other female rats.
I have seen female mice act in this way, once when I had a heap of them
handed in to me, they were crowded together, with no amusement like
running wheels etc...
Two of the females, one more than the other, had taken to 'rooting' the
other females, moreso the younger or newer ones.
Yet, I am at this time unable to explain this any futher.
Prehaps buy two unrelated females, seperate these two, give them a new
partner each and ...well...problem solved ( unless ou were hopeing for
grandchildren)
cheers,
Rebekah blackwolf.
My two young female hooded rats have taken to vigorously rooting each
other more often than not. Now I'm an open minded parent and am more
than overjoyed to welcome two little lesbians into my life but with
each other?? thats stretching the bounds of liberal parenting a bit
far.

Guinea pigs are rodents from South America. They typically live for 2-
6 years and their gentle nature makes them ideal pets, especially for
children. They are quite easy to care for - all they need is the
correct nutrition and housing.
The ideal diet for a guinea pig is guinea pig pellets, hay and fresh
vegetables. They require daily vitamin C otherwise they may develope
scurvy, a serious condition affecting their teeth and bones. Guinea pig
pellets usually contain some vitamin C; otherwise you can provide it in
the form of vegetables. All vegetables are safe for guinea pigs to eat.
Hay or grass is also very important, as it provides a good sorce of
fibre - important for good dental and gastrointestinal health!
Guinea pigs require only simple housing. Cages can be constructed
from plastic, metal or wire and bedding can be made from newspaper,
wood shavings or straw.
Good ventilation is very important.
Make sure the cage is in a shady area, as guinea pigs cannot tolerate
high temperatures - on hot days your guinea pigs would also appreciate
a couple of ice blocks added to their water container!
Guinea pigs are social animals.
Males (boars) and females (sows) can be kept together, but unless you
want lots of babies produced, we advise having the boars castrated.
Sows give birth to up to 10 pups (no-they're not called piglets!) and
the length of pregnancy is 60-70 days.
Guinea pigs are generally very healthy and do not require routine
vaccinations or worming, but if you notice any problems with your
guinea pig, then it would be advisable to have it checked by one of our
veterinarians!

Hi,
I'm new to rodents and I'm looking for reputable breeders for mice as
I don't trust pet shops. I live in the Brisbane metro area so if you
know any good breeders can you let me know! Any information on where I
can find a list of breeders would be good too.
thanks in advance
I have a pet mouse. Don't you think rodents and rabbits are so cute! I
a have joined to learn more about mice and how to take care of Dash
the best way. I am nine. I have a mouse, a dutch rabbit and my sister
has a guinea pig.
I only just joined 2day. I was wondering if anyone knew where i could
buy a cute Guinea pig and Lop earred bunny. Willing 2 pay decent
money. Trying 2 avoid buying from a pet shop. Thanks
Does anyone know anything about quarantine regulations for pet rats
coming into Australia? I looked on the customs and quarantine webpage
and it wasn't clear. I plan on sending them an email to enquire
further, but I figured I'd also see if anyone had any experience with
this.
I will be returning to Oz in a few months after a few years in Canada
and I would really like to bring my 3 pet rats with me. I'm just not
sure if it's possible based on the info available online.
Firstly I'd love to welcome all new members since May 2005 - and any I
haven't yet welcomed pria to that.
Wow - Ingnacio Molina, lovely husband of my dear friend Maureen
(parents of Tiare and Alexi)- has translated the Australian Mouse and
Rat Information Service introduction sheet into spanish for me.
Animal welfare groups in Bolivia were very interested in our clubs
views on compassionate care and understanding of rats and other rodents.
So, if you speak spanish, please stick with us - as we'll need a
welcomming party for our new members when they arrive.
OOH I'm so excitted.
bye all!!
your founder, Rebekah Blackwolf.
PS - once I get a home computor, instead of the local cafe, there's
going to be major downloads of rare and hard to find rodent info,
histroy and facts about issuse surrounding rabbit and rodent use in
laboratories, as pets, as food, in fables and veterinary care info.....
Hopefully too, we'll have guest speakers inside our chat room.
Bye!!!!!
Is there anywhere in Victoria Australia where rats and mice can be
rehoused.
I am also looking for young baby rats in the Box Hill area.
If anyone has any avalible to Good homes, please let this club know.
Does anyone know how to catch a rat lost inside. My just purchased 6
week old female has gone awol in my heavily furnished flat and i cant
find her.
Is there a way i can set a safe trap. I've left food and water out for
her and a bedding box because i'm worried about her, but this is not
helping me catch her.
Yes Carrie I can help you soon , two of my doe rats are pregnant now and might
have kittens in a few days now. I just don't now how I can get them to you, I
also have pictures in my rodent file under Matthew O'Connor's rat's.

Hello to all of the rodent lovers out there!!!
We are posting this message or "Mission Statement" on as many
ratty/rodent sites as humanly possible in a bid to gauge what sort of
interest there would be for a new rat/rodent food product line that
we are considering launching.
As rat owners ourselves, we are concerned about the general well
being, health and happiness of our babies and therefore have spent
many hours researching ways in which to prolong the lives of our
ratties, ward off tumours and, of course, the ever dreaded MYCO!!!
We have established, that in order to achieve results, it is
imperative that we boost the fragile immune system of our rats. We
believe that we are doing just that using special recipes that
include natures super foods, herbs and supplements.
After extensive research and trialing our products on two of our rats
who had early signs of myco with much success, we started feeding all
of our little guys our miracle food.
Since this, we have shared our success with a few fellow rat lovers
who all suggested that we should share these products with rats and
their families all over the world.
We are well aware that responsible breeding is the major way in which
to breed out problems and produce healthier rats. That is all wonder
full but what about our existing pets and what if we could strengthen
our new generations even further? Wouldn't that be fantastic?
All of the produce that we use for our 'SUPER FOOD' is natural and
whats more, our rats love it and always devour every last morsel!!!
All that we are asking of you wonderful people out there, is that you
send us a brief e-mail and let us know if you, and/ or anybody else
that you may know
would be interested in purchasing such a product before we get the
ball rolling. We will keep all of your e-mail addresses on file so
that we can keep you posted on how things are going.
Thankyou for your time and love and kisses to all of your ratties!
Kate & Jhanine.

We are seeking information about a colony of black rats (rattus rattus)
living pure and untouched on a British island since c.1600's.
Please let us know inside the club if you know ANYTHING about this
subject.
Thanks,
AMRIS Online.
Introduced pest species such as housemice, black rats and brown rats
should be humanely treated and if sick taken to a veterinary clinic.
Pest species are not native animals and wildlife shelters will refuse
to take them.
However, if you are uncertain of exactly which species you do have,
please contact your veterinarian or wildlife shelter.
While pest species may not be native, they are still wild animals and
suffer more if kept in captivity.
Re-release may seem unorthodox and unfaverable by councils and
general community, particulary in bushland areas where introduced
species are a threat to native animals. In such cases humane
euthanasia is recommended.
However, in built up areas, re-release is often a more humane option,
despite being frowned on. Prevention is far better than cure with
feral animals. Do not provide a habitat suitable fro breeding and
they will not breed to plague numbers.
besides, it cannot be worse than humane overpopulation. Whose heard
of a feral rat building a nuclear bomb? Or, a rat committing genocide?
........bla bla bla
Ecotraps manufacture live-traps for the humane capture of cats,
possums, dogs and various other wildlife.
While they do not have traps available for the capture of mice
and rats, there is a product available called the "Elliot Trap". The
Elliot Trap is designed to safely and humanely capture rodents alive.
Visit Ecotraps website and there you will find a link to the
Elliot Trap web page.
http://www.ecotrap.com
Viewers of Discovery Channel keep an eye out for a documentary
featuring Ecotraps in use.
Ecotraps manufacture humane live-traps for larger animals. They
are endorsed and recommended by the RSPCA and are used by various
wildlife parks and city councils to safely and humanely capture feral
animals.
There is a CD-ROM available demonstrating the traps in use.
Animal Welfare organizations can obtain one of these CD-ROMS, as well
as more details about the range of Ecotraps available, by phoning Sue
on: 61 03 9754 7588
Or by requesting details over the website at: http://www.ecotrap.com
Ecotraps also sell overseas.
