im getting a couple of rat saturday (next week) and i dont know that much about them?
can you guys help??
they taste horrible in burritos: (
Feed them lab blocks and give them fresh veggies at least twice a week. Fresh water every day. Clean the cage at least once a week. Do not use cedar, pine, or carefresh bedding. Aspen, fleece, and paper based cat litters (like yesterdays news) work well. They will probably sneeze for about a week after you get them. They do this after a big change. If they sneeze longer than that, get it checked out. Let them explore their cage and don't get them out for two days after getting them.
Good luck!
RATS ARE QUITE DESTRUCTIVE; IF YOU HAVE ANY TUBULAR OBJECTS THAT IT WILL CLIMB THROUGH, MOST OF THE TIME THEY WILL START EATING AT THE OBJECT INSTEAD OF THEIR FOOD. OTHER THAN THE ROUTINE CAGE CLEANING THAT'S ABOUT IT ..
