How hard do you guys think it is to care for rats? Super easy or challenging?

Vet care can be pricy, and they need at least an hour or so out of the cage to explore. My rats are higher maintenance pets than my cat

To care for rats are relatively easy. It is by far my easiest daily maintenance schedule when compared to other pets. It becomes tricky when it comes to vet bills. Since rats live very shorts lives, health issues tend to pop up fast during their tiny lifespans. Exotics vets are expensive and it isn't uncommon to spend hundreds of dollars in one visit. We have rescued cats before and owned dogs. In terms of vet care, I have spent more on my rats than I have on any other animal and the others lived a lot longer.

depends what you want from them. You get out what you put in. i take things fairly far, my guys get a home made mix i have spent years getting right. They have the best cage i could get them which i spend far too long setting up and finding new things for. They get a free range area with giant cat tree and toys to play with. Theres more abs i love giving it to them. They more than pay it back by being wonderful little creatures
