    Adult female rat size?

    Hello just wondering how big y’all’s adult female rats are. I know the sizes vary but I’ve read they can reach up to 9-11 inches not including the tail. Is that true? Also if you have pictures of you holding your adult female rats can you post them for size reference? Mine are still young...

    New rat nipping

    Awesome thank you so much! I have tried that so far this morning and it seems exactly what she is doing. She bites but it doesn’t hurt and she dissent seem to be doing it to be mean. The high pitched noise makes her stop but she comes back and tries again. She actually put her feet on me...

    Potty Training?

    Any tips on potty training? My two girls only seem to go in one corner where they also sleep and stash their food. Ive had to zip tie the wooden logs to the back so their little poos wont fall through the cage bars outside of the cage. They are still new to me and their cage so I know it will...
