OK I really don't know now...I was just handling them again and saw nothing....thinking maybe a bath would help put my worries to rest...pics to come soon

Why don't you just take them to the vet and have a general checkup done. The vet can tell you if there's anything there... and they can get a general health clearance...

That's never a bad idea. Vet bills are part of pet keeping. I'd had my new babies for a week, they went in for a wellness check up just because ALL my pets do that especially when they first get here.

I'm pretty sure you have gone to college and found money to be a hard thing to come by...

I can't just go to a vet right now. I need that money for my own food! However, I do think I have enough to schedule an appointment..but whatever the case I will keep you guys informed of what is up.

>>>>I I need that money for my own food!

that's what Raimen (sp) noodles, beans along with mac & cheese are for

Ahh but shouldn't they be offered as treats only?

I really do think you should schedule an appointment. Better safe than sorry you know? If I ever wonder whether a rat of mine is feeling under the weather I take them in for my own peace of mind. I do understand your circumstances are different though. But, whatever happens please update us.

Yea I'd do the same thing. But now I am not sure what I am going to do. So much stuff is going through my mind now.

Yes... I have gone to college and found money to be an issue....... and I am there currently.

However, I wouldnt get a pet unless I could afford the medical bills tha come along with one.

I can afford it...just my parents aren't happy if I have to..lol. I'd like to wait till I got home to get treatment. Would bathing with baby shampoo in the meantime be ok?

Baby shampoo won't do any good for the lice or whatever it is. All it will do is clean them... it wont kill anything on them.
