    Could you possibly talk a little more about the fits, please? I came to this video because my boy was what I believed to be choking but sounded like what you described as a fit, there was no drooling, he looked like he was gagging, going be sick (mouth closed) had his ears up and squeaking, it passed after less than a minute, he didn’t loose his balance or have any twitching like I’d expect from a seizure and I’d be really interested in learning more so I can help my boys properly, thank you:)

    Wondering if the same rules can apply to mice? My mouse looked like she was gagging last night and I eventually clued in she was choking. I did nothing, just sat and watched her do her thing. A short while later she was fine running on her wheel. Still keeping an eye on her, but she seems fine. This video was very helpful and I’m glad I left her alone.

    Hi there, Just wondering what type of soil you use for the substrate in the bottom. Is reptile bioactive substrate a good option? You can buy bigger bags of plant bioactive substrate for less money and in much bigger quantities, but I worry about what would be added to it and if that could harm rats.

    Also, would putting a storage box into the bottom of the cage, even if it doesn't completely fill the cage, be a reasonable option for ratties?

    Found your channel searching on Reddit for information about this topic. I just lost one of my sweetest girls to a Zymbal's tumor a few days go. I've had rats for about 20 years and I had never encountered this heartbreaking ailment before. We attempted to drain the abscess but within a day or two my girl went straight downhill. Absolutely killed me to see her hang on until we could get to the vet to have her laid to rest. We also have a second girl who came with her (they were rescues) who is exhibiting the telltale head shaking. I am already gearing up for this to be another ZGT. Do you have any idea what causes them? To see a possible second one is wild because from what I understand they're not super common. I'm so, so sorry you lost your baby to one too. Such a horrible thing for these sweet babies to go through. ;_;

    Hope your well and having a good start to 2024. I’ve just looked at the test strip vid, extremely informative. Have one of my two girls who scratches for ever, presented blood in her urine which the vet gave us enrofloxacine. Seems to have fixed it. Her scratching continues, ivermectin spot on not stopping her, vet gave us Metacam as she scratched herself raw. Back to the vet as scratching continues, sore area healing slowly. I know you no longer produce episodes but what you have made available is gold. Many thanks

    There was this one bias "study" who presented soy as the culprit for a higher incidence of cancer/tumors. I agree with you, soy isnt guilty and if anything, like all beans, decrease the frequency and severity of cancers. Many studies have proven this since then, including the study of populations with high consumption of soy products, and their rates of different cancers.

    Idk.. I regret putting my cat to sleep..he was sick but he also wanted to live. He would have died within a week or me making the decision, but I still very much regret it. My last rat wasnt in pain and passed away at home with his mate and I am ok with my decision not to have had him put to sleep.

    I just got 2 more rats from a lady who was selling her cage and giving the rats away (her daughter's really). They are underweight and so skittish but I put them with my rat Teddy and they are now taking food from me and coming to me when they seem me, albeit still very cautious.
