Update: we are now BFFs. She has stuffed teddy for when shes alone and she's spending more time with me. I take her with me when I go to my friends house on Sundays where we have a small group of people just hanging out and playing games also so shes not alone and gets to adventure. Shes...

Trouble is doing ok since I separated her from the boys. She now licks my hand all over though. Is this because she's lonely? Also do all rats like to swim/ play in the water?

I named her that because my boyfriend didn't know I was bringing her home and I knew I would be in a little bit of trouble for about 5 minutes lol. He joked last night that now i'm in more trouble if she has babies lol

I got my rats from a local mom and pop sort of pet shop that does reptile and exotic rescue and rehoming. They also sell pet rats and feeder rats due to the nature of their rescue operations. People can surrender their exotic and small animals (no dogs or cats) and they get vet checked and then...

It's done! My boyfriend cut the finch cage apart and we used the stronger support sides and reinforced them with a lot of zip ties all over. The floor wedged perfectly in the cage we had to force it in and then we zip tied it to the sides a bunch of times. I had some tile samples from a while...

My cats are definitely not trustworthy which is why I wanted a rat friend I can trust to stay on my person when the door is open and i'm busying around the house or doing studies. I had an ASF male that belongs to my friend for a short time. He escaped and it was a race who got to him first. The...

I cant afford to have her spayed. That's why I asked the pet store for males only :( I can afford basic care for them until after I graduate in December when I can work again which is why instead of buying a new cage for several hundred dollars I refurbished an old one for twenty dollars and...

It is 4 ft by 3 ft by 2 ft. I was thinking of halving it. The boys are super lazy and rarely go to the third level so I could possibly even give her 1/3 and them 2/3rds... I built extra floors into the current one so the boys would have two levels with floor space and room for the ramp in the...

So as soon as the store opens I plan on buying mesh wire and splitting the cage in half. Will that be enough space for the boys on bottom and her on top?

So I just found out today my baby is possibly a girl and she is my littl cuddlebug and super personality and I adore her. I dont want her to be snake food or alone in a pet store. I also dont want to separate her for long from the boys but I wont be able to get them neutered for a long time as...

Guinness is probably 10 to 11 months old and Nitro is 4 months old.

Dang it! Shes my favorite and I dont have room for another rattie set up :( I cant fathom getting rid of my boys though. I only know people that use them for feeders. I will have to figure something out.

Roughly 8 weeks old possibly 7 weeks

I'm so worried that Trouble is actually a female! He she is the youngest I've had and only just reached the age that I got Nitro at so I'm pretty sure I have another week or two before we know for sure.

It took a long time and power tools to strip the rust away down to clean metal. It was used for rats temporarily by someone in the past then left outside in Florida's weather to rust. The grey paint is non toxic primer with rust resistance and the outer paint layer is non toxic rustoleum aw well.

These are my boys! The adult hooded one is Guinness he is about 10 months old roughly. The little Berkshire guy is Nitro, he is 4 months old. He has white feet a white belly and white on the tip of his tail. My little albino is supposed to be 2 months old but I'm pretty sure he was younger...

I've only had rats since January and I currently have 3 boys. One of my original 2 rats had something wrong with him as at 4 months of age he had already outgrew my 8 month old and was almost double his size. He was as big as my forearm at 5 months old when he died. My friend bred a planned...
