Rodents and tummy bugs?
Hi...I guesss this is more specifically to the rats as the are the ones that are all over me. But i have got really nasty bug thing...i'll spare you details though. But can they be affected by it? Should I limit contact and or free ranging time tonight? Or are they fine? Guinea pigs are already out...but have stayed away from them.

Sorry this is a little messd up...just can't really think nevermind type!! xx

Re: Rodents and tummy bugs?
as long as you wash your hands before and after contact then i cant see a problem. now if you had a cold or flu then this would be a different story!

Re: Rodents and tummy bugs?
I wouldnt have thought it would affect them and dont worry, rats cannot catch the human cold.

Re: Rodents and tummy bugs?
Just consider what rats eat in the wild!
I bet they have a caste iron constitution.

Re: Rodents and tummy bugs?
there is a rumour that rats can get a chest infection or the sniffles when a human in very close contact has a cold! always thought this was true would be greatfull if someone can prove me otherwise!

Re: Rodents and tummy bugs?
There are very few diseases that can pass between animals and humans so don't worry they should be fine. I hope you feel better soon

Yeah it's not true - I get stinking colds all the time and my rats don't suffer for it
