Hey everyone, first time rat-owner here. I just bought a couple of pretty ladies.  Moved them into their cage, and they're exploring, but I think one of them started sneezing. She wasn't when we got her, she just started to do it suddenly. I thought she might not have liked the soap I washed my hands with... Should I be worried? She's active, and doesn't seem to feel awful at all or anything.edit: Oh, and I cut up some old shirts and put them down on the wire floor sections for now... could she be reacting to those?

Professor Wayne posted:That's a normal reaction to a new environment and can be due to stress, new bedding, etc. Give it some time, and she will likely adapt. If the sneeze starts to not sound right, she stops eating, or is lethargic then you should be concerned. Okay, that's a relief. I'll keep an eye out. And don't worry, I've covered the wire floors. Thanks for the advice!

Sorry for all the newbie questions! How can I prevent my rats from getting mites or lice or whathaveyou? I've always been really worried about that sort of thing, even with my dogs. They just give me the willies. Rats seem to be settling in nicely. The other one isn't sneezing, and as you can see we still haven't named them yet. I'll post pictures eventually.
