    Don't know where to go for this

    My rats are suuuuuper chill and friendly. I play with them almost every night after they wake up. And the mouse has lived with them for the past 5 months roughly. My four rats are between the ages of 9-12 months old. And chichis age is unknown. But the petstore owner said he's very very young...

    Don't know where to go for this

    Hi. I've googled chinchilla forums but there are no active forums so I came here. I currently own four rats, a mouse and a chinchilla that all live in one giant custom made cage together. Believe it or not they all get along great with each other. They even cuddle and sleep together. I know...

    Rat masturbate too much!

    I thought he was grooming himself at first. But hes clearly stroking it with both hands and its clearly his dong poking up. He sits on his butt and uses both hands and licks it. There's a little pink thing poking out of his fur where his thing would be located. I think it's weird but my...

    Converting dresser into habitat

    They sort of litter trained themselves. I bought a second wood hutch for them not too long ago and they all poo inside that hutch but sleep in the tunnel and cardboard house. So that's good. I'll make sure everything's very well ventilated. To be honest, being an ameteur rat owner, it never...

    Converting dresser into habitat

    I think I'm doing a good job socializing the rats so far. My two younger ones are extremely playful and popcorn all the time. The 4 month old from PetSmart is a bit territorial and just walks around and doesn't really play. Once in a while my one rat toui will gently try to play with him but...

    Converting dresser into habitat

    I planning to buy a very large dresser off of Kijiji at the end of this month. It's solid wood, about 5-6 feet tall, maybe 2-3 feed wide, and a foot and. Half deep. I plan to keep the doors on there but I'm going to use U nails to attach a half inch mesh wire over the entire front of the...
