I think I might have pink eye, I'm on eye drops for it right now. I was wondering if my rats can catch it from me? I know it's very catching to other humans, but what about to pets?
Thanks!

Pink eye can be caused by several thing(virus, bacterial, allergy)...in general, things that cause pink eye in humans are different in animals so they don't cross species. It IS possible to transfer it, depending on what type of pink eye you have, but you'd have to try REALLY really hard to actually infect your rats.
