Do you need a litter box?Or can they go to the bathroom anywhere?

Depends on what you want, really.

Most rats can be litter box trained. This makes the cage easier to clean and can lessen the smell.

However, it's fine to let them poo all over as long as you can deal with the mess. :lol:

Personally, I much prefer litter trained rats.

My girls and Jake took to it instantly and I haven't had any problems with smell or them being dirty since.

If you litter train them, use a heavy litter such as Yesetrday's News and a high-sided plastic bin. Also, weight it down with a rock or magnet so it won't tip over and spill the oh-so-fun contents everywhere.
