I was planning on feeding my rats cooked red lentils/red split lentils. Do they have to be left to soak? Or can they be soaked quickly and cooked?

I used to buy this litter/bedding for their litter boxes, but now I use it for their bottom cage layer of bedding. I thought if I used the same for their litter they’d think ‘okay let’s poop everywhere it’s basically a giant litter box’ hehe. I then bought sanicat cat litter. It’s...

I've got a PEW, and since having him for 3/4 weeks he's bitten at least 2 or 3 times. Not enough to draw blood but enough to cut. I've been working with him, he's stopped snatching food from me (with gloves on) and is now taking the food gently. He is now also taking food off a spoon gently...

I'm not sure on how often to feed them. I leave their normal food bowl filled up, incase they want that. But in the mornings at around 7am I wake up and give them breakfast, be that porridge/oatmeal, yogurt or baby food. I then head to college and get back at around 4pm, and usually feed them...

So my 2 ratties males have been with me for exactly 15 days, so two weeks basically. Ash, likes me. He'll jump on the door bars if I approach and come running out for food (is greedy so I'm cutting down on it's fruit intake, feeding them veggies everyday). He's a sweetheart and enjoys time out...

I got some veggies (carrots, peas, corn, mushrooms etc) and fruit (grapes and strawberries) that I was wondering if I could freeze? They're due up soon but there's quite a bit left? Would they be safe to put in resealable bags, away in the freezer and then given to the ratties overtime?

My ratties that have been with me since Friday haven't been changed yet. I've spot cleaned..... but haven't changed. One of them is good outside, it will let me pick it up and hold it outside the cage. But then there's the other, I've only just got it too come out it's hide for some banana baby...

I got my new male rats yesterday. One is albino, which has bad eyesight as it sways its head. I read up that the swaying motion helps it too see better, and how far objects are. I also have a white, with a little brown on its nose. The white/brown one is nosey, it comes to me for a sniff, takes...

Looking at the cage I purchased a few weeks ago, I posted that there was more rust than there actually is. I inspected it further and there is one or 2 very small patches of rust in the corners. Is that major? I don't want to have to repaint the cage as it looks okay. I will repaint if needs be...

Reading up on bedding for rats, a lot of people use fleece down the bottom. I've got gerbils who use megazorb, often wondering if it's suitable for rats considering it's in a big bulk bag.... 80 litres or something.

Hi. So today at a car boot sale I managed to get a big cage. It's pretty big, now I'm a dog/gerby owner so only used to tanks/small gerbilariums. This cage is pretty rusty. Im gonna sand it down and paint it with rust paint. By the end of this month, I should hopefully have some money to buy...
