It's always heart-breaking when a ratter unexpectedly passes, I'm so sorry for your loss. You sound like a great rat parent and your girls look so happy and it was so cute seeing them snack during the unboxing. I'll have to check out more from your channel, your babies are so sweet ♥

I don't have rats yet, I'm in my researching phase before getting some! I love watching your videos, makes me excited for the day I can get my babies! 😚 I've been researching and am half way down reading on of Alison Campbell's books about the shunamite diet and I find it so fascinating that your rats were experiencing some skin troubles on that diet. I know it would be hard to say but do you have any ideas on what might have be causing that? For example the mix or the vitamins category.

[@amethystscorner]

Im not entirely sure, could be they were picky eaters and not actually getting all their nutrients or were only eating the protein which if I remember right, can be an issue for Harley coats. Could also be the vitamin situation, but I'm not really sure:( I wish shunamite was better for them though

@@amethystscorner I see, it definitely would be hard to figure out what was the issue. It really good that you were able to find a better option for them tho! I'm researching into the possibility of using Oxbow lab blocks as my base. I know it is best to use a mix as the base but I'm struggling to find a good option for one in Australia. Could be an options for you to try if you wanted to see if it was the base that was the issue or something in the other categories?
