I think the biggest problem I see with most rat cage setups in my country's rodent groups is the lack of enrichment. A lot will just have a litter corner, a house, maybe a hammock or a sputnik and some chew toys. Awesome video though, will definitely be linking it to those who need some more help with their rat care or are thinking about getting rats. ❤🐀

[@asherkarr5096]

Yes I work in the vet field and animal care so many animals will get so bored without enrichment it can cause drastic positive changes in behavior

[@kidstuff44555]

If you're on a budget, this is what we did. We used a $100 large dog crate, which I covered with mesh (attached with zip ties). Not expensive, just a bit of time involved. Bedding was dirt, dug from the garden, and hay. The dirt absorbs odour, we change every 3 weeks. One litter tray in the corner and they poo there almost exclusively. The cage is filled with branches from the garden, cardboard boxes for nests (although they also make nests in the hay), old ropes, a hanging plant basket, plastic tubes from the hardware store. Hammocks are old clothes, T-shirts or kids track pants, attached with clips to the top of the cage. Our 4 girls are the happiest rats ever in this set up, and most of this is free.

[@rylenvanderhoek2834]

this was very helpful! thanks. Hammocks are kind of expensive, so this will help me, because my four boys are destructive, and quickly destroy their hammocks.

It's my new fave thing asking if they wanna go play and letting them forage and nest for an hour at a time while I clean their cage or hang out on my laptop 🥹 I also traded their old pan in their critter nation with a cement mixing bin and I was so happy seeing one of my boys popcorn around and bury himself in his bedding

For the playpen thing: the storage cubes are normally called c&c cages in the US. That stands for cubes and coroplast. Just wanted to pop that in here for anyone in the US who didn’t know what it was. These are used very often for guinea pig enclosures but obviously can also be used for other small pets like rats, rabbits, ferrets and perhaps even mice if you get the panel-type cubes rather than the bar type. Thank you for sharing your advice. I don’t own rats atm, but I would love to get at least a pair some day when I’ve got more room. Living in a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 adults, 3 kids and a whole slew of pets from reptiles to rodents (I believe the count is 19 reptiles, 2 guinea pigs, 20 mice [accidental pregnancies from lack of research.

got her a buddy today!! she's a black and white hooded rat, and much more comfortable with handling than otter!
