everything on that site is great but if u make a heat pillow they can chew it open and with water make sure you wipe their feet when they get out or they will be cold

has anyone tried the pea fishing? Well I did. and OMG that was a bad expeirence. I put everything out for about 15 minutes to let them investigate even tried putting fionas feet in it. SHE HATED IT. so finaly i deicided to let her just play out of her cage. haha

Start your girl slowly. Peas in a bowl first, then a little bit of water and a bit more as she figures it out. I had 5 rats that I tried it with, and only one figured it out. She would pull out a pea and they would steal it from her...hilarious!!!

I agree about the heat pillow... it kinda scares me that they could break it open.

My boys liked pea fishing from day 1. But when I take them to the bathtub to go swimming for real, they aren't big fans. I put a basket upside-down in the center of the tub so they could have an island, and for the most part, they stay there. But I started using broken pieces of yogies as rewards for when they do venture out and swim. I am thinking that eventually they will get used to swimming and enjoy it because it means they get treats.

That's an awesome idea! My girls hate the bathtub... maybe a little island and some yogies would help them to enjoy the experience a little more!

I put unsalted sunflower seeds in the water and they have to swim to get them. Works every time.

Thats what I do.


And for Pea fishing:

I did that a few times and they drank the water and picked out the peas. lol..
