I noticed that the one rat in the video, the one white one, had it's head kind of tilted to the side. I have a rat that does that and it only started about 6 months ago. Any ideas on what this might be? I wondered if maybe when she was sleeping under her water bottle maybe she got water in her ear and it did something to her eardrum or something? She does just fine, just always has her head tilted slightly to the side.

@611acook That's called head tilt. It is usually caused by an inner ear infection. If you get it treated immediately, the head may correct itself and go back to normal but after 6 months it's probably too late. It would be a good idea though to bring her to the vet to get antibiotics to treat any infection remaining. The rat in the video, House, came to us that way. We treated him but he had been titly for far too long to help him.

@jorats yea thats what i thinked....theres not too many rat cages in finland :D

[jorats]

@asdasdasd730 You could perhaps make one? Have you checked out all the rat forums, there are a lot of good ideas there for cages.

@ARmandaLO well they do that because if you get another rat it will tell that rat this is my human.you can not train a rat not to do this.it is a normal thing my rats before they passes marked there territory and my other rat would not go on that part of me if bell my rat marked her territorry there.i wish they wouldn't do that also but all rats do it even females

[jorats]

@ARmandaLO that will be hard to stop them do. It is marking. Some rats significantly reduce this when neutered.
