a couple of don'ts:

DON'T wear a strongly scented perfume
DON'T forget to brush your teeth
DON'T be late

That last isn't mean't to imply that you are normally late - my own sense of directio is so bad that I give myself 15 minutes extra locally, half an hour if it's not dead local.  If there's a choice between left and right I ALWAYS choose wrong.

"Franky, come on." Andy drug him away by his collar. A few people had shown up. They were girls, about their age, and of course Franky was right on top of them."Don't be afraid to visit!" Andy rolled his eyes,"Dude, give it a rest. Besides, what about Abella?""She didn't like me. I think she found I was annoying!""I couldn't imagine why." Andy sighed and let go of his shirt,"Come on. We have to go find that deed before the hearing starts.""Why? It's not like we're going to find it...""Hey, I thought I was supposed to be the pessimistic one. We have to try, it may be the only way for us to actually run this place.""Yeah, but what about Clara?""She has a boyfriend, I don't think we even have a chance that way." Andy and Franky were relying on finding the deed before the hearing for permanent owner began, but if they couldn't, they were just thinking about having one of them marry the soon-to-be-full-time-owner's daughter. Though it probably wouldn't work because she had a boyfriend and her dad wouldn't be too happy. It was always a possibility, though, and they could always try.

omg, that made me go check on my girls and they are just in the next room  like everyone said,put up those posters. and to whoever took them, karma is a b*tch   the girls send their prayers to your boys!!!

Hey, I'm 23 now!  But I was 22 when I got my IUD...

Greatest decision EVER. I was so sick of hormonal birth control and all the side effects. The Paraguard IUD is wonderful. I can't control my periods or know exactly when they're coming anymore, but it's soooo worth it. I never had a single problem getting it, in fact, my doctor said, "It says on your chart that you never want children; have you looked into a tubal? Here's some literature!"

I'm weird and do take my rats in to get a basic check up ( even when they are fine). When i first started getting rats the first thing i did was take them in to make sure everyone is healthy.

Nothing wrong with that!

Most people I know usually don't though. It can be a very good practice though. It allows the vet to get to know you and your rats, and develops a better working relationship. It really isn't a bad idea!

I've had trwo vets tell me the kitten-safe flea soap is safe for rats (on the other hand, that doesn't mean they are right, either!). The oatmeal shampoo will soothe the skin and has no chemicals. I've used it with good effect to reduce the itchies while I was waiting for the Revolution.

 Apollo was from my work (petsmart) Remy is from a breeder, Remy is the one with the most issues. Its a very long story but since i got remy i have found more and more problems with the rats i saved from her.

This is just so upsetting!
I don't know if this is overreacting but I think I would call the police... isn't this considered theft?
I am so sorry. I cannot understand how somebody could do this!

Hand shakes- Main things

-firm hold
-eye contact
-say something INTELLIGIBLE like,"Hello, Mr/Mrs/Miss (blah blah). How are you today?"
-don't giggle or shy away from speaking

One of my english teachers told us this. Why, I ahve no clue, but I fins it true.

 

I know from experience that ivermectin is half the size of an uncooked piece of rice, once a week for 3 weeks. 

That's a normal adult rat portion.  Combine Baby and Dwarf and that would be a drastic overdose.  Revolution is a once-and-done treatment rather than a multiple.  A single kitten-size tube of Revolution will do all four babies and then some.
