Sep 9, 2026, 6:47 PM#Rat people: I'm planning to work with old rats 🐀🧓 for my next experiment (neuroscience). I know we have a lot of pet rat experts around here and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind listing the problems that you might have noticed in your old rats and at what kind of age these started appearing? Like - tumors, problems with locomotion, things like that. Memory problems would be very interesting too if you noticed any.
Not a very joyful topic, so of course feel free to scroll by if you don't want to think about it...
