“Was that offensive? “ Love that you talk to your rats like I do mine.

lol yes poor Kip, assaulted on video

One of my boys was such a solid brick, my other was a squishy pillow 😂

Great video! I'm very excited to see more episodes of this series. Thanks for sharing your knowledge

Thank you for the video Jemma, can't wait for new video!

I love my squishy bucks. Lockdown has not helped. I dread to think the comeback rat shows results xD I need a month warning!

Another great video.

I see how easy you are holding your rats haha. I have 3 boys, one of them will just hang there for ages if I kept holding him. But one, no matter what I do, he still claws the hell out of me when I pick him up. Usually its because hes got somewhere he shouldn't be! He is 6 months though, so hopefully I'll get him more used to it. Thanks for these videos, very interesting 😊

Some rats don’t love that kind of handling which I tend to respect lol, but most of mine at least put up with me lol

Great video, thank you :)

Yay. Nice vid. Two of our bucks had their balls chopped on wednesday 😭🤣. Poor chaps. We love both bucks and dows (but tend to lesrn towards dows) but all very different personalities

that black male has such shiny pretty fur

Kip is awesome, really lovely black (and an amazing person too). I can’t wait until he’s old enough to gather some babies. Half my friends are eyeing him up too lol. He should have a very good life, food, friends and occasional one night stands!

Well well.. Here I'm again... Watching everything from the buck series 😂🙈 as we rescued two boys... That we were most certainly just foster... But now I want to keep them too! 😂 Send help! 😂😭

My approach to fostering is to find them a good new home before they get to me, the only way they don’t end up staying lol

Hi Jemma, Quick question. Just reading the pro rat a magazine. It mentions coco fibre soil for rats? Have you used this before? If so what is a safe onw to get? I know you use soil n your cages but can not remeber if coco.? As a note the coco soil if ok to use will only be using it for play/foraging not bedding

My soil is coco fiber, it’s a really good option

What about bucks over a year old who have a ton of buck grease?

I would always look to there diet first, I’ve found an excessive build up of buck grease is most a dietary imbalance of oils (often the wrong types) or a shortage of omega 3oils. What are you feeding?

Isamu Rat Care Currently the main diet is Oxbow Essentials adult rat food. I ordered a scuttling gourmet book too

It’s a great book. I would try offering them a few drops of linseed, flax or hemp oil once a day. You can also get a soft bristled brush to help short term. See if that helps
