I'd be afraid to take my rats outdoors on a leash, in case of escape. I sometimes bring them out onto the deck and provide buckets of dirt and grass and such but the outdoors seems to spook them more than they enjoy it.
Leash walking?
I'm just wondering what some people's experiences are with walking rats on leashes. Do you? Is it recommended or a no-no? If you do walk your rat(s) on a leash, is it store bought or home-made?
I've tried walking a rat on a store bought leash, but it was too big. A homemade one did prove to work, but I found my standing around a lot while the rat acted cautious about his surroundings. I like the idea of being able to have a rat on a leash and bring him around the house, but free-roam seems better and more... productive?
