Help Support The Rat Shack Forum:
Yeah, unfortunately my current place has less than ideal space for a lovely big cage so it would be almost impossible to clean all the time which isn't fair and there are too many holes in the floorboards which can't all be covered as I can't get to some of them, but rats easily could. I can't have the risk of them getting stuck and dying or anything ;-; Also they deserve to have room to run around, so I really just want to do right by them.Welcome to the forum Etaena. You're going to find lots of good information and will absolutely learn a lot. Do you really have to move somewhere else to have them?
Funnily enough, I only came across this forum because I was checking if mulberries were safe for rats to eat XD
Well, thanks to mulberries.
I'm pretty sure you'll be a good rat parent. How many do you like?Indeed! Thank you, I think so too, I'll definitely try my best!Well, thanks to mulberries.
I think I should just get two, for the same reason as I need one, they would need a friend too, don't want them to feel anything like me and two being the minimum is a good place to start
Seeing someone else comment about their very bitter rat who hated other rats makes that seem like not the worst idea, but most aren't like that and ones to adopt are usually paired/grouped up already XD
I think it's mostly just worrying about their health as temperatures are all over the place here :')
Agree. Is it really that bad in your area?
Only in the past couple of years. Before if it was Autumn we'd know it would be cool-chilly every day and warm but not too hot in Summer and Spring, but now it varies from day to day. Winters seem to last through half of the Spring too and they're worse. It must be more like that anywhere it used to be pretty stable :/ This is London, England, it's not supposed to get too hot or too cold, but climate change has made it so
