My rat shivers frequently. Is something wrong?

Question

I keep them in a comfortable environment and the temperature is fine.

Answer 1

It might be comfortable for you but the rat might be cold. Get it a wee coat and bootees

Answer 2

How do you know its shivering and it's not just some other movement?

:P If its shivering its the body's natural reaction to warm herself up. Does she have a fever? Any other symptoms? Keep a close tab on her if she shows any symptoms and put her in a separate cage;

Good luck with your baby

If you have any questions you can email me.

Answer 3

There is no other explanation except that the rat is cold. Rodents don't fell the same temperature as you do.

Answer 4

It's cold. Give it something to keep it warm and you should keep the rat in the bathroom. It is a very warm place.
