Update by user Mar 28, 2018 Not to mention I wanted a fancy rat and ended up with a dumbo rat they are very different in size Original review posted by user Mar 28, 2018 I bought a female rat whom was apparently pregnant because i only bought one now i have 11. I called the pet store they said i could bring the babies back in a month. This is my first rat i have no idea how to care for them. I called the store march 27 because my rat has had these bumps on her ears and they have gotten worse. They notified me that they are currently treating rats for mites. They failed to tell me this when i called about her birth knowing they had infested rats. I dont have the money to take her to a vet for 70 dollars plus whatever care and medecine she may need i have also been informed that over the counter medecine can or will kill her nursing babies and i cant see letting them die and dont have another female to wet nurse them while she gets better i am also sure that the store ans its rat care providers are aware of the difference in care for a nursing mother and are failing to offer advice or care for her i really cannot kill her children with medecine amd cant afford for mites to go to my dog or other rodents that i have. Please help.
