When it comes to expanding storage life of dry goods, you can’t beat a vaccum sealer IMHO. With 500 cc oxygen absorbers costing per 50 (Nitro Pak), investing in a vaccum sealer to help you extend shelf life makes sense, especially if you want to use canning jars in the process. The model we have cost under 0 when we bought it on sale 2-3 years ago, and now retails for approx. 0. Though I didn’t show it in the video, you can also re-seal plastic bags with your vaccum sealer. As mentioned in the video, please check out this video series on creating a home food storage system (very practical method!), using a vaccum sealer, as well as a solar oven. This is a link to the first video, and you will see the other (8) listed on the side. www.youtube.com Mrs. Dewitt also has a downloadable cookbook with recipes specifically pertaining to using a home food storage and a solar oven: www.theideadoor.com Another link related to this topic you might find helpful is Walton Feeds storage life of dry goods: waltonfeed.com

Q&A: RAT EXPERTS: Why is my pet rat sneezing?

Question by : RAT EXPERTS: Why is my pet rat sneezing?
I know I’ve posted loads of questions about rats, but I can’t find anything like my particular case online.

Here are all the details. I know it’s a RIDICULOUS amount of info, but I want to make sure everything is covered. Please read all of it if you want to help me. I really need your help! Personal experience would be great.

-My new rat Ella is always sneezing (except when she’s sleeping or sitting still).
-I got her about 12 days ago from a pet store. She was a feeder rat (I realize they are generally unhealthy).
-Ella was sneezing when I picked her up from the pet store (less frequently, however).
-She’s maybe 3 months old and still wary of me.
-Usually she’ll sneeze between 3-8 times a minute, but sometimes she won’t at all for as long as an hour or two (maybe longer… I don’t hear her when I’m asleep, obviously).
-Occasionally she’ll break into sneezing fits of about 10-15 sneezes a minute.
-Ella also sneezes when she is out of her cage, but perhaps less than usual.
-Whenever I put her back in her cage after handling, she’ll sneeze several times in succession.
-When she runs around on the floor in her “play pen” outside of her cage, she will make sniffing noises like a dog. She usually only does this when she’s sticking her nose in something.
-Ella sneezes liquid (mucus or water, it’s not poryphin) about 75% of the time.
-There is no red discharge from her eyes or nose that I have seen.
-Her nose is not wet, red, or stuffy.
-She will randomly blow air through her nose. Kind of a like a sneeze, but more like a strong, intentional puff of air through her nose. She doesn’t do this very often.
-Ella is an active, curious rat who eats/drinks plenty. She takes treats from me, playfully nibbles at my finger, and plays “tag” with me when I put my hand in her cage.
-She does not appear to have trouble breathing. I haven’t noticed any wheezing/coughing/heaving/etc.
-Ella’s been living alone for about 9 days because her former cage mate turned out to be a boy (she also might be pregnant…great). Unfortunately, I can’t remember if she sneezed as much when she was with him, though I bet she was happier then.
-I have purchased her a new friend (Luna) from a first-time breeder 6 days ago. Luna’s parents were feeder rats. She is living in a separate cage until I can figure out if Ella’s condition is contagious or not. Due to friend’s mistake, Luna has already been exposed to Ella and even drank from her water bottle (this occurred the day I got her). I have not heard Luna sneeze at all, which may or may not be because she’s very young–about 7 weeks. This might also be evidence that Ella is not contagious.
-I’ve tried Kaytee (for 4 days), CareFRESH (for 7 days), and now aspen bedding (put it in last night) for Ella, but her sneezing hasn’t stopped or lessened (I have/will never use cider or pine).
-Her cage is well ventilated in a room with a humidifier.
-I change her bedding every 2-3 days.
-Ella went to the rodent vet about 5 days ago (after I’d had her for less than a week), but the vet was unable to diagnose her and told me to wait it out to see if her condition worsened, if she could fight off whatever she has naturally, or for her to settle in.
-Vet also said that Ella’s lungs seemed clear/healthy and her heart rate was normal.
-I am not prone to allergies, but sometimes my sinuses do get a little irritated by dust in my dorm room. I dusted and vaccumed 3 days ago hoping it’d help Ella–to no avail.
-I did try giving her a tiny bit of dark chocolate which I don’t think made a difference because isn’t suffering from breathing difficulties.
-The only medication she is on is a topical lice killer which I applied yesterday. There has been no change in her sneezing habits since I administered it.
-Ella is skittish from bad socialization as a baby. She still poops/pees on me when I pick her up directly from her cage. I’m making progress on her though. (Luna, on the other hand, is active, hyper, adorable, friendly, and sweet–as a baby rat should be. She does not poop/pee on me when I pick her up because she was socialized at a young age).

***

I am aware that it generally takes time for a rat to adjust to new bedding and a new environment, but her constant sneezing really concerns me. I don’t want her to be miserable.

I really don’t think Ella is suffering from an upper respiratory infection or pneumonia. I have heard of certain rats just being sneezy their whole lives due to allergies–I hope this is the case. If it is, what can I do to reduce the sneezing?

I’d like to put her and Luna together as soon as possible–I feel like it’d make them both happier. When should will it be safe to introduce them?

I’m sorry this is so long! I just wanted everything to be on the floor so that certain things can be ruled out.
I know about Myco, and of course Ella has it. I’m just concerned she might carry something contagious or is having a life-threatening Myco flair up.

Her cage is under my bed. No drafts.

Best answer:

Answer by Justin
Sneezing is a semi-autonomous, convulsive expulsion of air from the lungs through the nose and mouth, usually caused by foreign particles irritating the nasal mucosa. Have you been dipping your rat in sand and/or flour?

Consumer Magazine’s Real Problem Rating Vacuum Cleaners Reviews (Part 2)

www.EZVacs.com 720-348-0400 By 2000, they started doing double vaccum issues yearly – and their stupidity REALLY started to show. Only Hoover or Kenmore has been #1 in the past 9 years. When the ‘pet hair’ grades came out two years ago, another portion of Consumer Magazine’s stupidity came out. WE all know the power nozzle makes a canister vaccum – so how can canister vaccums with the SAME power nozzle (and the same motor (think Vortex) have three different ‘ratings’ for carpet cleaning and pet hair pick up? also they did exactly that in Feb 2012 issue when they rated the Miele twist # 2 the Miele Cat and Dog #3 the Bolero #10 and Jazz and Salsa # 11, Now all these machine have the same exact motor brush AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCES ARE SOME HAVE A LIGHT AND ONE HAVE DIGITAL CONTROL AND ONE HAVE CHARCOAL FILTER AND ONE HAVE THE SUPER AIR CLEAN FILTER INSTEAD OF HEPA. IF Consumer Magazine. told the truth, those three models would fall exactly in the same way – the same rating for everything – since they are, in fact, the same vaccum cleaner performance wise. You’ll also NEVER get me to believe that a vaccum (think Windtunnel) with 80 inches of lift has better ‘tool airflow’ than a vaccum with 115 inches of lift. Especially when a few ounces of ‘test dirt’ (they use sawdust and talc) will cause the #1 vaccum to have NO AIRFLOW after 1 cup of THEIR test dust. Know what’s interesting (well, to me at least) – the Vacuum Collectors Association has been
