[@gigigrass6050]

tip for if anyone has big rats: products that are marketed towards guinea pigs, chinchillas, and ferrets are often quite large and are actually a pretty good size for a group of male rats. i have hides marketed towards guinea pigs or chinchillas primarily and they are a great size for my big male rats. just make sure they are rat safe.

[@samsixx]

i had this playing whilst i was cleaning my rats out, and as you mentioned rat pee i found a lovely little den of shredded tissue they'd torn up and it was SOAKED in pee 😂i was so confused because i did a huge cleanout last week (i normally do a big one every month) and couldn't figure out why it was smelling so badly already -- oh the joys of owning smelly boys :))))

[@mamamabaleen1944]

Oh my goodness yes to the foraging toys! I used to buy these cheaper terracotta cup toys (basically same function) but they just chewed off the rope and the cup would fall. I don't want them to accidentally commit ratslaughter by chewing the rope and having a giant cup fall on someone from above, so I'm switching to the types with chain links...

[@jsk-art]

I usually put a bit of fleece in the bottom of my space pod so my girls don't want to pee in it as much, and if they do, it's absorbed. At first they would kinda toss it around and stuff but I found that a couple mini binder clips on the edges of the openings work great to keep the fleece in place.

I just accept the wee-wet pieces of kitchen roll in the Sputniks now...I just put in fresh kitchen roll (shredded up a bit) every few days...ratties do scent mark and I think feel more comfortable if sleepy areas/cage smell of them 😴😊

Even if they are comfortable with that it's bad for their respiratory systems.I reccomend *like I do* Putting clean bedding,food and water in everyday.

There's only 2 pet stores in my small town. A petsmart, which doesn't have foraging toys and only sells frozen rats for snakes, and a small mom and pop place where I bought my two rats, which doesn't have foraging toys either. I'll have to order mine online.

[@purpleunicorn9351]

I’ve been looking for some new toys for my rats because their toys are getting destroyed so this was really helpful and perfect timing! Also a tip for the wheel foragers you have a plastic cage with the smaller doors that open downwards , I’ve lost the screws for mine but I’ve zip tied mine to the door and since the door opens downward it’s easier to refill it. I probably made that way more complicated than it should have been but I hope it helps someone lol. Also if your cage has small bar spacing the dog bowls don’t fit so check that before buying one. Also they sell those storage containers at tiger too :)

With the Savic tunnel hide, you can turn it upside down and use it like a Sputnik. I attached mine to the top of the cage with zip ties and it works really well.

[@halg3625]

I've had rats as pets for years. But after my Jigsaw passed away, I felt I just wasn't ready to own rats in the near future. So about a decade passed by and my son surprised me with a pet rat that his Nana bought him. I had no enclosure, no food, no bedding or toys and I had to scramble to get everything together. Very expensive. But I love little Debbie. She's a sweetheart. I'm getting her a companion tomorrow. Another female to keep her company while I tend to my elderly grandparents next door. She's a female and very active, so it's hard to clean Granny's house, with Debbie on me. Debbie likes to snuggle with my pitbull, Mileena. But Mileena can't keep a watchful eye on her, and Debbie can't play outside alone. She comes when I call, I just wish the dog would do that. Lol.
