Hi!

Hi!

I'm a girl from England and I am 13. I am a first time rat owner and i am looking for help and advice.

My Rats are female and around the age of 11-14 weeks (info from pet shop where i bought my babies from). Their names are Cotton and Lycra. Cotton is is a brown and white hooded and Lycra is a black and white hooded. I am trying to tame them at the present time as i only got them aroung 4weeks ago and i am the only one in my family who adores rats!

thanks for reading,

Jen

Hi and welcome Jen!! to you and your sweet girls.

In your poll, I chose both, because I have spayed females living with males, most are neutered too. :thumbup:

So sweet... did you hang those fiddlesticks in the cage? What a fantastic idea!

Hi welcome! The folks here are the best source for advice and tips.

Yes, i did hang the sticks, and cotton is always up there! its her spot, and she rarely lets poor Lycra up!
