Hey everybody. :D Has anybody here tried to make their own rat food? I saw on Instagram somebody feeds their rats a mixture of food every day that includes some veggies and meat, and they mix it up every day. I've created my own dog food before but I've never tried it with rats. Could anyone...

The one I got is supposed to have quite a bit of floor space. Hopefully that proves to be the case when it arrives. :D

Is she neutered herself? You could try to re-introduce them using a split-cage method if it's possible for you, or to introduce a new rat. If you can't afford to neuter a male rat, is there a rescue local to you that might have a neutered male? My last girl was a lone rat after killing her...

Hello everybody. :D My name is Deborah and I'm a vet student with a passion for rodents. I've worked with various animals in the past including many many rats but I have only had one rat of my own in the past. She wasn't with another rat because she would kill another rat if she had the chance...
