Critter Care Tutorial: Part 5, Rat

Critter Care is a fun game that can earn you instant clams as well as up to 15 clams of salary. In Critter Care, you work in a lab and help take care of animals. You feed them, give them water, clean the cages, and help keep them healthy.

There are 5 animals in Critter Care you can take care of: fish, frog, pig, pigeon, and rat. In this tutorial, I will show you how to take care of the rat.

First, go to the Critter Care lobby and click on the clipboard that says "rat". Next, click on a rat cage to begin. On the right of the screen, you will see a little white piece of paper. Click on it to see the animal's history report (and I don't mean on the Civil War).

The Report will tell you when was the last time the rat had been fed, the water was filled, the cage had been cleaned, the rat's energy level, and and a scale that will help you determine whether the rat is underweight, overweight, or at a healthy weight.

• If the rat's energy is low, give them an apple to snack on. Click and drag the apple onto the cage.
• If the cage is dirty, clean it. Click and drag the soap onto the cage. You may have to do this a few times until all the droppings are gone.
• If the water bucket is not full, give it some water. Click and drag the water icon onto the tank. You may have to do this a few times to fill it up.
• If the rat is a healthy weight, and it's food bowl is not full, give it some food. Give one scoop if it was fed 1 day ago, and 2 if it was fed four days ago. 
• If the rat is underweight, fill up the food bowl. If the rat is overweight, keep it half-full.

Reasons to Red Tag:

• The cage has not been cleaned in a while (at least 4 days), but there are no droppings. This means the rat is not excreting waste, and there is something wrong.
• The cage is very dirty even though it was cleaned just a day ago. This means the rat is excreting too much waste.
• The rat has not been fed in a while (at least 4 days), but the food bowl is still full.
• The water bowl has not been filled in a while (at least 4 days) but the water bowl is still full.
• The rat is underweight or overweight.
• The rat's energy level has been low more than once.
• The rat has Rat Eye Disease. See image below.
• The rat has Rat Unkempt. See image below.
• The rat is pale. See image below.

Once you have correctly tagged all four cages, click "submit lab report". You will instantly earn 15 clams. Once you have done this 3 times, correctly tagging 12 cages in all, you will receive 3 clams of salary and a total of 45 instant clams.

Good luck! I hope you enjoyed these critter care tutorials!

• If the filter has not been changed in a while, or if the tank looks foggy, change the filter. Simply click the filter icon and drag it onto the tank.
• If there is any green grime on the tank, clean it. Click and drag the brush onto the tank, You may have to do this multiple times until the green disappears.
• Check the frog's weight. If it is a healthy weight, and was fed 1 day ago, give it one bunch of food. If it is healthy weight and was fed four days ago, give it two bunches of food.

Next you will need to feed the fish. It was last fed 4 days ago, so you will need to give it two bunches of food. Drag and drop the fish food onto the tank two times. If the fish is looking healthy and not showing any signs of illness (we'll get to that later) give it a green tag. Drag the green tag onto the tank, and click exit.

• If a fish has been fed 1 day ago, give it 1 bunch of food.
• If a fish has been fed 4 days ago, give it 2 bunches of food.
• Always clean the tank if you see any green grime.

Reasons to Red Tag:

• The tank is very dirty even though it was cleaned just a day ago. This means the fish is excreting too much waste.
• The fish is upside down. It's hard to tell, but a healthy fish will have 1 fin on top, and 2 fins on bottom. An unhealthy fish will also be slightly tilted. This means the fish has Fish Confusion. See image below.

Once you have correctly tagged all four tanks, click "submit lab report". You will instantly earn 15 clams. Once you have done this 3 times, correctly tagging 12 tanks in all, you will receive 3 clams of salary and a total of 45 instant clams.

AALAS Solitaire Game Revamped and Game Guide

Originally posted on: Sunday January 8th, 2012

The AALAS Solitaire game has been updated, and I find it easier to use, faster to play, and more fun. Win up to 40 clams a game in a short amount of time.Confused on how to play? I'm here to help!

The object of the game is to learn more about diseases that affect us. A random card will be drawn at the start of the game. It will tell you the name of the disease and give you a little information about it. You must choose one orange "impact" card, one green "experiment" card, and one purple "vehicle" card. The cards must correspond with each other and the disease card.

Click on the cards you think go along with the disease card. When you click on a card, it will turn yellow. If you click on two cards in the same category (impact, experiment, vehicle) the first card in that category you clicked on will turn to normal colour.

If you matched all three cards to the disease, they will get a purple check mark on them and move to the bottom.

If a card does not match at all, a purple "x" will appear over it and you will lose three clams for each incorrect card. For example, chickenpox does not cause cervical cancer in women.

If two-three cards do not match with each other, the cards will have a purple dash (-) appear over them. You will lose two clams for each pair of incorrect cards. For example, your vehicle can't be animals if your experiment is to make a model. The cards must correspond with each other. Computer: model, animal:animal, etc.

This game is fairly simple and my best tip I can give you is to use your context clues! (I know you aren't too thrilled to talk about English on your snow days!) If the experiment mentions animals, the vehicle must be animals. If the disease affects the muscles, than the impact should probably say something about muscles. Good luck. :D
