Question
My dad has just brought three six week old rats and one of them tilts her head slightly from side to side and we wondered if there maybe anything wrong with her

Answer
She could have a head tilt, An inner ear infection. You need to take her to a vet as they can be painful sometime. If she seems unbalanced then chances are she has head tilt. If not it could be an early case or it is just how she holds herself.


Good luck
