Found it! This was fun! The rats are so much quicker at getting started with checking out the snow than my guinea pigs were. And they have such cute little hands! I love rats 🩷

[@Abbayabbadoo]

Aww glad you enjoyed it! I think it's because rats are naturally digging animals so they are more interested in it haha. Your piggies are so cute though!

I LOVE IT I,M GETTING A RAT FOR MY BIRTHDAY 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@cedrickulacz8468]

Rats need friends, so it'd be a minimum of 2

[@WillowWild-l4e]

⁠yeh but I love playing with them so I would do good with 1 thank u for telling me❤

Rats get severely depressed alone. They will most likely die of depression very quickly. Only having one rat won't make your bond stronger with them as you can't be another rat for your rat. If anything, the bond will be weaker because they could be too depressed to interact! I understand there's a lot of information being thrown around online and that it can be very confusing, but if you need to ask questions I'm happy to answer!

[@WillowWild-l4e]

Yeah but I have wanted one for 5 years and ur rats so cute you so lucky❤🎉 and on winter is it okay to put a heat pack under there bed?

[@Abbayabbadoo]

@WillowWild-l4e I understand, but I would seriously consider buying another companion. It can be detrimental to their health as they could quickly contract illnesses because they are depressed. Some also say that they do this because they don't have another companion that's also looking after them in the cage. Yeah you can buy pet safe heat pads for your rats! I would recommend making sure it isn't too hot, and just supervising them to make sure they don't chew through it!

From 2008 to 2023, I had rats in my life nearly continuously throughout that period. My favorite thing to do for the first big snowfall of the season was to stick a baking sheet outside to collect snow for the rats. Giving it to them was always fun for me, because everyone would have different reactions. My favorite part of this was giving young rats their first snow ever. I still want to collect the first winter snow, every year, and it reminds me of how much I miss living with rats.

This is so sweet, they were so lucky to have you as their owner. I wish it snowed here more often, I think once Mabel and jade got used to it they likes the snow. Although nelly didn't. Nelly is super nervous so maybe she needs to experience it more haahha

​@@Abbayabbadoo I think that one out of every three siblings is going to roll their eyes at some fun family activity. It seems to be universal: rats, cats, dogs, human children 😆

[@Abbayabbadoo]

@IceHibiscus ahaha this is so true, she would rather eat meal worms and sleep than engage in activities 😂
