    Thanks so much for your responses! I have made a number of boredom breakers. Similar to a snuffle mat, I took a cat scratching post insert with corrugated cardboard and stuffed small treats throughout. I also prepared some chews and a nice set of treats to be dispersed over the two weeks. My...

    Hello, internet friends! Almost a rat mom

    Hi everyone! I am moving back from University and I've been waiting years to get rats. I've had hamsters for years as a teenager, but rats are completely new to me and I don't want to mess-up. Looking forward to exploring more of the forum! -Su :)
