Ok Everyone...I have a few questions....
first I seen a post somewhere from Cait that had a new rat and I think I seen meal worms in with one of the rat food bowls? You can feed rats meal worms??? I have a lizzard also and have meal worms around and the thought of one of my girls eating meal worms gags ME! haha. I thought I read somewhere you can feed them worms, but thought ewww and never thought about it again until I seen Caits post. So it is good? The worms wont like eat at their stomachs like they can lizards? eww
Second....I have that new cage from petsmart, some of you may have seen it in the cage posts. Someone made the comment of how her bunch would pee in the shelf crevis and it would be hard to keep clean. Well, they have been in their new cage now for over a month, and just recently one of my two girls is to lazy to walk down to the bottom of the cage and pee there, she gets out of the hammock, goes to corner of shelf and pees. So I am now wiping pee out of the corner shelf 2-5 times a day...any suggestions on how to break lazy butt of that?
Third...when I do whipe the pee with a paper towel or toilet paper....both girls go NUTS and grab at the paper and try and rip it form my hands and when they do get it, they run off with it as fast as they can and try and hide with it! It is funny, but I take it away from them, afraid they will eat/digest it. Will paper towels or toilet paper hurt them if they shred it up and swallow some here and there? Jo I seen you gave your girls TP roll so I assume it is fine, but wanted to double check, how do I know they are not "eating" it??
There was a fourth....but I forgot.
Oh...vanilla ice cream...very very tiny bites...not alot, will it hurt? I gave them a tiny bite of vanilla the other day....funiest thing i ever seen them trying to eat it as it melted in their wee hands.
That wasnt reallty the question....I did forget the fourth question.....if I remember I will come back. haha I am getting to old.
Thanks
Paula
