Hey rattie lovers!
I have two female rats, sisters. I love them with all my heart but as of 2 or 3 months ago I got myself a cat and I've been giving her all my attention and not taking the rats out often at all because of her. She is not aggressive towards them from what I can see, she just likes to watch them run around in the cage.
I just want to ask your opinions on whether or not I should give them away to a loving home or not? I'm so very scared if I did that, that they wouldn't be well taken care of or loved. I really do care for them with all my heart but I can see the pattern here... and I'm just trying to be honest and smart about it. They don't get enough attention from me.
So would it be a smart choice to find a loving home for them or keep them(they have each other for company as well?)
What breaks my heart is that one of them gnaws on the cage a lot, and she's had chewy blocks etc in the past she doesn't pay attention to. I know she does it out for attention from me because it's only done when I'm in eye's view and not holding them. Plus boredom I'm sure.
I just don't know what the right choice is here....In my mind, any stranger will take bad care of them or hurt them. Yet I myself rarely take them out.
Aggghhhh... help me please. Opinions, advice whatever you got throw it at me - Just be nice please :coffee:
