yeah, they should look like this I will attach an old post of mine. These are a day or two before the birth, Mama blue on left was two nights before (15) and Mama Lou(10) on the right was my first rat I adopted that gave babies...

Hi, I have critter nations but I want an addon but my ceiling is too short, but I do want to keep the wheel part but not the shelving I was wondering if anybody was successful in doing so? I read a post here to cut the lower part where the stand is on the shelf, does it work? Any feedback...

Thanks for the replies! Very informative. As for the elastics, It was on the post of show me your cages https://www.ratshackforum.com/threads/show-your-cage.1637/post-28975 I will attach the picture of the elastics I am talking about, seems like the same ones to make our masks with. I can see...

Hi guys, sorry for the double post, but after a bit of searching. I might just resow my liners into pillow case style, where they just slip into the Pans. Have any of you had any experience with this? I do have other layers within; one to absorb another that's waterproof underneath the fleece...

The males are a lot less lazy than the females and they never chew on the cardboard and by the time the females destroy the cardboard I have to change the cage anyways, this is my males cage

I started using like 3 inch or more cardboard strips, my rats kept throwing things overboard, I added it to the spots where they would make the most mess. I would just use an exacto knife to cut the pieces, I'll take a picture later.

I don't know why I feel like holding down fleece with binder clips (waste of time) and ceramic isn't suffice. I end up spending so many hours cleaning clips. Which I end up having to make quilted fleece as liners for my rats. The bottom bins are diamond soft bedding, but what can I do for the...

I am so sorry, I know how hard it is, these little guy sadly when they start gasping for air there's not much we can do unless we have home equipment for oxygen and such. The health of these poor babies spiral so fast, even 12 hours ( I had a recent baby I was going to take to the vet) 12 hours...

awww babies!!!! they're soooo pretty

hi guys , rat mom that adopts pregnant rats here. I have only adopted two females rats in the last 8 months who have been pregnant. I am wondering on average how many rats per litter because I have seen sites that say in between 5 and 12... but I have a baby girl that gave 10, and the other 15...

if she's pregnant she will gain weight every day, every baby weights about 5-6grams when they are born. so if she weighs 300grams and she has 15 babies she can weight 450 grams on the day of birth or a little more. If she is pregnant and you notice a belly, you don't actually have many days...

so cute.

It's hard especially the ones that stick with us. I lost three rats in the last week, the more the merrier I say, but there's always those ones, that hurt so much more than the others.. Even though it's never easy. Sadly

you can also try Flower Town Chinchillas - One-Stop Shopping for all your Small Pet Supplies They are usually cheaper for me anyways.

I want to try and find mammas to be, to adopt, but that momma is a sweet heart, this experience will probably deminish how many I end up adopting, just how the babies turned out, none has ever bit me, the work is less, there's no getting them use to you

Lots of pictures weeee hehe

I'm allergic too, I use a N95 mask when I clean the cages. when everything is clean I can take it off. If I don't use a mask my asthma gets really bad. I use Nature's Miracle clean it once then vinegar +water let it sit wipe down. I just got furniture pads to put under my liner see if it will be...

No problem, these babies turned out to be the most loving rats I have ever met. The boys are huge like BIG, I have two hairless boys and they aren't near this size and they are much older. They turned out mostly white with darker noses. I will post some pictures for some reason all the pictures...

Having another rat is not much more than having one though, the cleaning isn't more its the same maybe they will eat 20grams of food more per day per rat but trust me two isn't much bigger than 1, they will be happier. If the noise bothers you, maybe put the cage out of your bedroom. Check on...

Maybe if you want to pick him up use a pair of leather gloves. I have these females it took me three months before they warmed up to me. They would bite I had to use leather gloves and chain mail (anti cutting gloves) you lose a lot of the sensation when picking up a rat, though with this...
