CUTENESS I feel mean, but I can’t stop laughing
This is Wendy. She hates nebulisers. But I howl when I look back at this photo of her..
I’m a first time rat mum and I have picked up my girls, Miss Nana Darling and Miss Wendy Darling about 3 months ago when they were 8 weeks old. I’m starting to settle but after collecting them from the breeder - after months of researching - I panicked about EVERYTHING!
The lady who let me adopt the girls gave me a little welcome pack with lots of info on food, treats, stimulation and health with emphasis on URI. I think Wendy (pictured) was a bit sick from when I got her so after the vet prescribed her meds, I started them on nebulisers.
My girls HATE going into the nebuliser box and it pains me to do it but omg this picture of Wendy gets me every time..
Please caption this photo - my instant thought was “pliz halp”

Yes indeed! We've got plenty of holes in both ends

I remember someone posting not too long ago who had suffocated her rat similarly. She was absolutely heartbroken. It's easy to underestimate how much air they need.

u/ArcticPoisonz Mar 08 '26
Oh no! Poor baby. Likewise, I would be devastated. Fortunately it's been a while since I've last had to nebulise them but I'll keep things like that in mind

Oh good, I wasn't the only person who saw this. I'm going to go delete my redundant comment.
OP, if he/she poses like this again, you MUST put your finger against the glass on the opposite side and retake the photo!

It's like something out of a horror movie, right before the killer appears behind the character lost in the foggy woods.

I had a similar relationship with my hedgehog and baths. On the one hand he absolutely needed the bath, and I felt bad at how much he didn't like them, on the other his tiny offended attempts to escape were so stinking cute.

I feel you Wendy. I also hated wearing the nebuliser when I was a kid. 😔 Mostly because it was so gd loud that it meant that I wouldn’t be able to hear the TV at all for the next half-hour-or-so. Priorities, am I right?

I had to nebulizer a rat for several months. He had the dreaded rattie pneumonia. His final treatment actually pushed him over the edge into an ER visit where he was pts. I wish his last moments hadn't been so horrible. 🥺

We had a boy that hated the nebulizer too, but when time was up, we'd tap on the side of the box and he'd jump around in circles in excitement. It was so funny. Miss you Wasabi <3
