Bumblefoot?

Tak · 17-04-2008, 17:33

Bumblefoot - basically ulcers and infections in the feet
Another "guide" with some links to pictures further down

Cmot doesn't have any ulcers as yet so I'm hoping I'm just being paranoid

Hey,
I said this on MSN but not sure if it sent.
You can get stuff called "Purple Spray" It helps with Bumblefoot. It used to be available at The Rat Warehouse.

Also, your new boys are stunningly adorable!!

Tak · 18-04-2008, 07:15

I'll investigate the purple spray - thank you

Carrot has become quite the huge boy, while Nobby is still cheeky but very skittish. Unless he calms down Nobby won't be able to go to shows like I had hoped as it would just scare him too much.

Someone is feeding Carrot growth hormones, I'm sure of it

I have pics on the camera so I'll try to remember to upload some soon. Keeping in mind Carrot and Nobby are around 4 months old they are huge!!!

There seems to be a general sniffle going around both cages at the moment. I'm not too worried at the moment but I am going to increase immune system boosting things like garlic to their diet for a few weeks (much to Mics disgust

)

He can't stand the smell of it

Photo-spam
When looking at the size of these boys, keep in mind Dibbler and Greebo are about 22 months and Carrot and Nobby will be 5 months on 4th June (rats usually grow for the first 10-12 months of their lives and live to 24-36 months)

(This was banoffee pie baby food):

(Zombie rat will eat your brainzzzzz)

(Look at the length and thickness of Carrots tail compared to Dibblers)

(I'm sure I have a photo of Vimes and Errol in this exact same pose)

(This is just sooooo cute...Dibbler was actually trying to steal a yoghurt drop out of Greebos mouth but shhh we won't let that ruin the effect)

I'm not entirely sure Zombie Rat is after brains, but LOL nonetheless - and it didn't even occur to me they could do that.

Awwww cute!!
Your guys are huge!! They'd dwarf my girlies... Well except Squeak, she's half a kilo of rat muscle!
