    Here's my ratties' cage! It's the rat manor from Petco. They started off in a two-level cage and I realized quickly that they needed more space. This is MUCH better. I use a litter pan as a bed, boxes as beds and hideaways. They are usually filled with old comfy clothes I've cut into pieces...

    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.

    I have a box of electric wires that one of my boys like to get into but those are wires that I need such as chargers, amp wires and head phones. This question is less about if rats will chew wires and more about should they. Is it dangerous? Can it be harmful? If its not I might make a specials...

    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...
