Here are my three female rats.
They have a cage full of fun things to do. Theres a hammock to relax in, a wheel to run around on (although only one runs, the others just climb on it), two parrot toys to climb and chew on, two levels besides the ground, a wood box for sleeping in, some cardboard tubes, a kleenex box for destroying and the remains of an old wheel because before I got the new cage, they liked to climb on top of the supports. I want them to be able to run around and be rats.
I assume things that are okay for parrots to chew on are okay for rats?
Now for the pictures:
Here is Tweek, my beige rat. I'm not sure on the correct color but she is the most friendly by far. She crawls onto my hand and then onto my shoulder. When I got her she bit a little but doesn't do that any more. She loves to climb on top of things.
This is Baby. She's kind of afraid of me.
I am slowly winning her trust with food and she will now crawl with all 4 feet onto my arm.
I just recently went to the pet store to buy food. Then I saw this:
Pip is a really sweet gray dumbo. I kind of suspect shes a little slow but almost as cuddly as Tweek.
I just love her markings. I was nervous about introducing them, but it went much better than I had expected. They just got along right away, as you can see here:
Bonus ratpile:
I need to repaint my windowsill, haha.
What are some other toys that rats like?
