He has settled down to sleep now but did move about the cage a bit so im very pleased. Dont mind how empty the cage is, their hammocks are in the washing machine at the moment

And the other two are downstairs leaving Harry alone to maybe eat some more, if he doesnt I will spoon feed the rest in a bit

Aubery

I know the pair of them are too big, im just finding it very difficult to get Harry's weight up and keep theirs down :? :( I want Harry to have access to food he will eat while im not here and they are helping themselves
 
Don't worry about the weights.....I have 3 girls together.....1 is a runt and always will be, 1 is normal weight and the other is a greedy porker!!

I put a bowl in with eggs or chicken or fruit and veg etc and the greedy one grabs it and drags it off for first eats....Maggie is a greedy so and so ;) x

Your guys are gorgeous :) xx
 
:love: Thanks hun

I dont know if he is a mink :oops:

They were all the same size up until Harry became ill and started losing weight :( Obviously I have been putting food in to try and fatten him up a bit and the other two are eating it and also putting on weight but Harry is struggling to get the weight back on. Im not too concerned really and I would rather the two of them are a bit overweight than underweight at their age, my main priority at the moment is keeping Harry from getting any thinner. Im feeding him things like complan and weight gain meals away from the other two but still keeping treats in the cage so there is something there for Harry if he wants it while im at work :)

Does Aubreys colour change from time to time from light to dark?

Try some nourish-ums paste or nutrical for Harry as well...Very high in calorific value and nutrients and ratties tend to love it. He'll only need a small quantity on a daily basis :) xx
 
No he doesnt really change colour

Here is a pic of him in natural light :lol: He is the big one :D

Thanks hun, have been giving him nourish-um and my nurtical arrived today :) Ive been having to spoon feed him for a little while now :(

He is having warm porridge each morning made with soya milk with either coconut milk or honey mixed in and complan and nourish-um up til today. My mum is doing him cooked brown rice at lunch times with meat, egg or fish but this meal is being put straight into the cage and she is making sure he eats a spoonful before she leaves because she doesnt have long enough on her lunch to remove the other two and spoon feed him the lot. In the evenings im following recipies on the rat forum for weight gain and alternating them so he is getting something different every few days, he had baby food tonight and ive just put him in a tiny piece of a rusk soaked in apple juice and water in the cage before the other lads go back in. He has stopped eating dry food all together now :(

Aubery’s weight is ok, he is just a bit chubby!! He isn’t as big as Zeke though. Its only Harry’s weight that I worry about right now, all three of them have resp problems and Harry is just so thin and has no interest in food at all anymore, at least before he would come over to take a look and see if he was getting anything interesting
