Thank you for the warning about alfalfa. We looked after a couple of rats for one of our friends and she brought some blocks of compressed alfalfa with her. Fortunately neither her rats nor ours (we gave a couple to our rats as well) have suffered ill effects but I shall tell her immediately to get rid of them and not feed alfalfa to her rats.

you probably hear this a lot but you may have saved my ratties lives 💞🐀 we had a little 2 year old (our first ratty baby) pass away a week ago today. it was a very sad and traumatic experience for all of us, especially her sister, because I feel like I could have done more to keep her healthier. ultimately it seems she had a stroke, but prior to that, she had difficulty breathing and would use the bathroom on the upper levels instead of down below. we were using pine bedding, I cleaned the cage once every 2 weeks or so, the bars of the cage were cleaned once a year (which was horrible since we fed fruit and other "juicy" things through the cage) and I only took the ratties out of the cage to give them a bath when I cleaned the cage. I hope you cringed because that was terrible for a rat mommy to do. I promised my little Peanut Butter after her sister Lizzy died that I would treat her better and treat her 2 new friends, Slim and Shady, much better than I had been. I watched all of your rattiepedia videos, deep cleaned and disinfected the cage, and have made commitments to spending more time with them every day and creating a safe and suitable environment for them. in fact, I'm about to head down to pet supermarket right now to return a faulty Kaytee water bottle, one of the edible hideaways (snack shack), baby powder scented spray able shampoo (we're gonna be a coconut oil family from now on), and some potty litter (not sure how that is for them, but if it's scented, forget it). anyway, after this long ramble, I just again wanted to say thank you and I look forward to learning more from the Rat guru :)

It was only two days but I feel so terrible, I immediately threw it all away and replaced it with a cardboard box and old sheet (for bedding) until I can get better stuff.

I really have to thank you for this video Guru. Our oldest girl, who also happens to be my husband's heart rat, was saved because of info in this video. Our girl Sugar who is about a 1 year old now started dropping weight and getting super lethargic. We thought it was just age especially because her face and muzzle greyed kinda quickly too. We were using the Kaytee food brand but switched after seeing this and it saved her life! At least we think so. After a few days on the new food she perked back up, gained her weight back, and even got a little bigger in size! So thank you so very much! Sugar and all her siblings send you all the kisses in thank you. Again thank you, if Sugar passed away this early, my husband would have been devistated. This video is allowing her to life her life to the fullest! I wish I could show a picture of her here for you.

If anyone actually does buy an exercise ball, you can tie them high up in the cage and just remove the lid on it, fill it with bedding and leave it as a little hiding-hammock for your ratties :3

HOLY SHIT oh my god when she sad "kaytee clean and cozy" i freaked out then she said that if it was the white one it was fine, i was like "PHEW."

What really sucks is that in some stores all you can find is Kaytee products! Even their water bottles can be pretty bad as the glass ones are prone to growing mold and the plastic ones rarely work properly unless they are in juuuuuuust the right position. Overall, I appreciate how informative this video is, and I even learned a few new things!

Exercise balls are FANTASTIC for rats! ... For sleeping in, I mean. Just take out the side panels and attach it to the cage, my rats adore a nest as round as they are when they curl up!

I had two rak shaks I've been using for my two rat boys -tossing them out and I'm going to go buy wooden chew houses.

Went to a pet store last week and saw that exact Lavender Clean and Cozy bag. My friend told me to get it but for some reasons I didn't feel safe with it so I just bought the Aspen kind (I hope that was a better choice). Now that I watched this video, I'm glad I didn't listen to my friend lol

Thank you for this! I went to my local petstore last week to buy rat-safe bedding for my rat's toilet space. I did my research beforehand (I'm a new rat owner), but I still decided to ask an employee about their recommendation. She recommended normal cat litter!!!! I asked her if she was sure it wasn't dusty and she said "well yeah, but it's not a problem". I nodded and waited for her to go away and then I grabbed paper pallet bedding (the one that's usually most recommended). I kept thinking like 'come on, lady, you're doing real damage with that advice'.

You have no idea how much your videos help me, I recently got two baby rats and my mom keeps trying to get things like exercise balls and scented bedding. She wouldn't listen to me when I told her no but I showed her this video and finally convinced her to stop. So thank you from the bottom of my heart!❤️

A very good, informative video. I'd just like to add that people need to be careful, when buying recycled paper bedding, to make sure that the package states that the bedding is "100% recycled paper." There is one brand on the market that adds sweepings from the factory floor, which can contain all sorts of stuff that is not good for rats. The moral is to check everything very carefully.

I am so glad you're doing these wonderful videos to educate rat lovers. Your info is so we'll put together and maintains interest the whole way through. Thank you. 💖

They can be bathed in water. just not too often with products that may remove the natural oils from their skin. My new male gets a nice little swim once a day but just with fresh water. No shampoo or anything unless you are actually going to bathe them. Rats are generally terrified of water so just putting you rat straight in without conditioning is more likely to result in your arms being heavily scratched while the rat thinks it`s going to die. I use a couple of drops of " Johnsons baby shampoo " and it works fine. Don't use soaps or medicated solutions as many contain ingredients that are toxic.

Umm no Noevilea that's false. They do need to be bathed though! AS needed or every 3 weeks. They get over it, bathing time is never "fun" but the cuddling you do drying them off is fun and watching them popcorn because they feel great afterward is MY reward :)

On a side note, I don't by them very much because I'm so paranoid about what's safe. Are bird toys safe? You mentioned they are smart enough not to eat hay if it isn't disguised as food, so the hanging woven hay birdnest I got them is safe? If anyone has any recommendations for the best and safest rat toys I'd really appreciate some tips!! I think my babies are getting bored.

Shadow the Rat has a rat toy video, she finds a lot at the Dollar store :)

im getting rats at the end of summer; ive ordered the critter nation with add on. should be delivered today, . will spend the whole summer getting it ready, buying all the stuff my gurls will be needing from the get go. your videos have been really helpful. have a question tho. fleace vs bedding? I was thinking of getting dollorama small bin for bedding, and fleece for the platforms... give them the otions... also i plan in installing 2 litter boxex, and pee rocks. what do you think?

the one thing that i regret buying for my rats was an alligator sleep hideout meant for ferrets. Thought it would look nice in their cage and they would cuddle up inside it. Not even 12 hours later after putting it in their cage They chewed through it and got themselves stuck inside in fleece lining. fortunately I was there to help and save them. I immediately threw the toy away and felt really bad about making my ratties scared and feel unsafe. Lesson learned.

I would love a chibi figure of your mascot. It is so cute. Also I love your videos. Ihave 1 older rat whos brothers passed on and 3 younger ones who he loves so much. All my new rats are adopted. All of this is thanks to you. Thank you for your videos. I look forward to them and they help me alot.

your videos are very helpfull i started watching them and now i am considering talking to my mom about getting two of my own adorable ratties :)

I'm getting more rats tomorrow to keep my older boy company after his brother passed. I'm rewatching all rat videos simply due to excitement

Thank you for a great video. One question, can I use sand from the beach in a digging box? If not, what material do you recommend? I want it to be natural and I want them to be able to dig holes and tunnels.

Freeze ie before you use it! At least 2 days. Should be fine- ratties sure love to dig!!!
