I just got a surprise from my friends. It was a new baby rat. They got her from a pet store are at the moment we are calling her Ratpunzle. I am a bit worried about her. When my friend got her for me she seemed fine (or so my friend said) But since coming home to my house, all she does is SNEEZE. When sleeping she is fine but when awake she is sneezing. She sneezes so hard that she sometimes squeaks. It worries me!!! I dont know if it is because she is getting use to her new home or if she is really sick. At the pet shop she was fine but now she is all sneezie. Other than that, she is a healthy little rat. Her eyes and noes are clear, her fur is shiny and soft and she is quite active. She is also cuddles biggrin a sweet little thing. I dont know what to make of this. As of now, we are going to wait till the end of this week to see if she gets better. If not, than we will take her back to the pet shop (which I don't want to do if I can help it) Do you guys have any advice for me PLEASE!!!!!

Rats have very irritable immune systems . Perhaps it's any dust of particulates floating around in your house that weren't present in the pet store . (( And pet store rats really aren't that healthy to begin with , if they come from a large store ; such as petsmart or petco.)) If there's nothing else that's wrong with her , she could just be adjusting . My baby girl sneezes all the time . I say , don't worry about it unless she becomes lethargic or produces more mucus than usual. ^ ^
Hope that helped , at least a little :3 And g'luck with your new rat ^ ^

She had an upper respiratory infection... We had to exchange for a new one. The one we have now is a sweet T as well.
