Absolutely amazing
Thank you
i used to have a pet mouse,i love little rodents ;D
If you take a rat someday, please take two from the same sex though : rats are highly social animals who absolutely need a rattie friend to play with else they can develop some serious behavioral issues
It's all explained here : [link]
Only baby rats might poop all over your hands since they can't control the way they poop when they are young. All my ratties over 2 months and a half old are pretty clean (they can put a drop of pee on your hand though, since it's a social code for them to tell you're part of their group. Not all of them do this, but I've got some ratties who can't help doing it).
Rats need large cages with shelves as they like to climb, suited food (14% proteins and 4% fat maximum), they have to get out of their cage at least one or two hours per day and must be kept on hemp bedding or other non-aggressive bedding (pine shavings are an absolute no-no as they contain phenols which can severely damage their respiratory system).
Males tend to be quite calm and cuddly while females adore to play and to explore everything, so it's a matter of taste
wow thanks for all the info! it was very helpful! i really want a rat!
