Hi again! I posted a few days ago about me taking in my friend's rats that she could no longer care for. She brought them over today (in a cardboard box) and I loved them immediatly! They are so sweet...the quaratine lol. Any words of advice? How to keep a close eye on them in case of illness? How to keep them as healthy as possible? I feel like my concerns are stupid, but any help is appreciated

how can you tell if a rat has sda virus? Do they just have extreme myco/uri?

UK rat owners should be aware that currently there is a SDA virus outbreak. Which I only found out about as I'm researching current breeders in my area, I was quite shocked and surprised as I didn't...worrying as I might be looking for new rats soon. On the note of reputable breeders, does anyone know of anyone still breeding in the London area? All the ratteries seem to have shut down. X poste
