I just wanted to make a recommendation. My rats were huge chewers and chewed all the plastic on the bottom. So I ended up getting a metal critter nation tray. It was somewhat expensive but totally worth it! If that ever becomes a problem for you just keep it in mind. Good luck with your future Rats!

My daughter saved up to bring home some rats. I was not much of a fan. Then the pet store messed up and gave us 2 girls a boy instead of 3 boys. We ended up with 31 babies within a couple months. 😰 we ended up keeping 5 of the babies and they are honestly the sweetest little things and I love them so much. The way they reach out to be picked up. 😍❤️❤️❤️

Love this! I just put the add-on onto our double critter nation. Now it's a triple and so fun! I encourage all rat people to use water bowls in addition to bottles. My girls love their water bowls and watching them "wash their hands" is ridiculously cute. 🤩 Watch out for added sugars in dried fruit!

oh one last tip (i haven’t fully finished the video so forgive me if you already mentioned this) but rats are incredibly smart and can be potty trained!! i put a big rock in my girls cage that they would pee/poop on and they never ever once pooped in my room - only ever on the rock!!

Highly recommend investing in some cheerios/frosted flakes because they're like crack to ratties 😂 also that hanging bed will fit about 10 rats, they love to squeeze into the smallest places and snuggle. We use to give our girls empty tissue boxes because they loved to chew them up/cuddle in them despite us spending money on fancy bedding for them.

My rats love unsalted and raw pumpkin seeds! They also love walnuts, but I don't feed those very often due to the high fat content. Remember that baby rats love a higher protein diet, so feeding them pieces of hard boiled eggs can help with that (my big rats also love this hahaha). I hope it goes well when you get them! Thank you for sharing : )

Their food is good for herbivores such as guinea pigs but not so much omnivores such as rats and hamsters 😊 Great hall, you've truly spoiled them! They're going to have such a good life with you!

I guess, the only advice I would give, is to skip the young rat and mouse food. The quality isn't as good as the oxbow adult rat food. Just supplement with a little more protein(eggs, dried meal worms) until they are around 6 months old. This is what the breeder i got my rats from did, and most other breeders I know say the same thing. :) Excited to see the new babies!
