    I've been putting together a pen for the ratties- nowhere near done but as of now it's a bit more than a 5x5(ft) area with a 2ft barrier made of Songmics storage cube panels. It's carpeted so I'm covering the floor with a toddler jigsaw puzzle mat and will be putting in their cage as well as a...

    I was just wondering if dog/cat lick mats or slow feeders would be good enrichment for rats? I was thinking ferret malt paste could be used on a mat.

    Hello! Can anyone recommend some toys i can put in my rats' cage? Preferably DIY but store bought are also fine! My rats have got hammocks, ropes, hides, a sputnik, one of those wooden bridges for birds and some hanging cardboard chew toys, but i feel like there's something lacking. I can't...

    I had two rats, Rice and Basil, and they were extremely close. I last week I had to put down Rice due to cancer. It was quite a battle (not due to trying to keep her alive, it was squamous cell carcinoma and progressed extremely quickly.) and I’m confident Basil knew that she was dying. She is...

    I saw the thread with lots of cage accessory tutorials but most seem to require sewing. I'm looking for no-sew project recommendations, even links to tutorials.

    During the short span of time I've had them, the ratties have seemed content with free-roaming, foraging, trying different treats, and pea-fishing, but I'm looking for suggestions on other activities to do!

    Angel has been grooming everything excessively and desperately trying to find any sort of entertainment. I want to add more things for him to do but he doesn't seem to focus on things long. I need things both in and out of the cage for him and the other rats but not sure what to add. Current...

    Hi! I recently lost my heart ratty Twig. And my other rat Sprig is alone and she has a mammary tumor. I’m wondering how I can give her more cage enrichment? I have a single critter nation cage. And I added a dig box with dirt in it! If anyone has any tips on how I can add more activities and...

    I know water beads can be very dangerous to pets when dehydrated (small) because they cause mechanical intestinal blockages (that can't be seen with x-rays) if they expand inside of something. What I'm wondering is if this is still the case for water beads that are fully hydrated and won't...

    Hello! I am hoping to get some rats for the first time next month and I am trying to do as much research as I can now, but I had some questions about cages and setup. Firstly, how large should a cage be for 2-3 rats? Everything I am finding is saying that it should be at least 2 cubic feet per...

    Today while I was walking around Petco I spotted an x-tra small puppy kong ball. Perfect size for a rat! I have done some research and most people (especially ones who have given their rat kong balls) say that they are perfectly safe. I also got the yogurt dog spread to put inside. I don't know...
