Hello!
My name is Kaytlin and I'm a pre-vet college student. I've always loved exotics and small mammals. I've owned hamsters, guinea pigs, and ferrets in the past. I currently live in dorms but next year I'm moving into my first adult apartment and I plan on getting rats. I've always wanted them and over the years I've done a lot of research, and I still have plenty of time to get things together. I would be moving in August so I have about 8 months to plan. Being a college student I don't have a lot of money to spend on pets, so I was wondering if there were any suggestions on how to keep rats on a budget? Does anyone have a price estimate if I wanted to keep two rats?
I'm probably going to get the Martin's r-695 as a cage, since its a good size but also easier to collapse if I need to go home for break and I don't have anyone to watch them for me. Other than that, I don't have much else planned out. I want to use fleece since I have used it before with guinea pigs and I really loved how easy and clean it was.
