    Keep an eye on her but it will probably pass thru her. My dogs once ate a box of 100 wax crayons. They pooped technicolor for about a week but were otherwise fine.

    Hopefully she will be ok. Plain wax is fine, rodents eat it all the time, but scented candles can kill. This is because they aften contain toxic oils like clove oil to make the scent.

    (Just a few nibbles)

    She had a few nibbles but i don't think (i hope) that she ate too much, but why! Why would a rat be attracted to a scented candle!

    What scent was it? I had a rat bite a chunk out of a blackberry scented candle once. I guess the blackberry smell was irresistable.

    She was fine, but I was really worried for a few days there. Is your rattie pooping normally?

    Thank you Wolf_Q!
