Respiratory Infections with rats and Home-made litter/bedding?
3 days ago we bought 2 rats from Petco. They are appx. 12 weeks old and hooded. Sister rats. We bought them and walked home with them after riding home on the city bus. Shortly after one of the girls started sneezing, I thought at first it might be form the cold weather that day but then I realized from other q’s and a’s that the bedding might be the problem, we made the mistake of getting a mix of wood shavings (such as pine) Wellllllll point of the matter, I found a recipe to make my own bedding: shredded newspaper/magazines/reg paper …warm water… eco friendly dish soap and baking soda, I a currently drying it in a pillow case in the dryer. My ULTIMATE question is, has anyone used this method, and dide it work to ease up on the sneezing. I also gave the rats some garlic cloves which they loved, because i read that it might help. Thanks!
Sneezing is quite common in rats for about a week after you bring them home. Stress related. They don’t like change and going from pet store to your home has them a bit upset right now, but they will get over it. Get rid of the wood chips. You should see a change shortly. Can check site below which has good info on rates .. also good links to other sites where you can check on medical issues and care. Enjoy your pets … they’re great!
