    So, I'm getting my very first pair of rats this weekend. I've had hamsters before I guess I have an idea of what it's like to take care of a rodent? My question is, I have a hamster cage and a rat cage. But the rat cage is 3 levels and the soace between the bars seems too wide for a baby. Is it okay to put my baby rats in the hamster cage? The hamster cage has a plastic bottom, although my hamsters have tried and are never able to get through it, some people still say it's possible. And that's what I'm worried about

    It depends how big the hamster cage is. Some people will put them in a slightly smaller cage first until they grow big enough that they wont fit through the bars, this can also help with bonding with them because they're not in a big huge cage that can cause them to become overwhelmed, as long as the cage isn't tiny, as baby rats have a lot of energy! Another option, although quite time consuming, is to chicken wire the whole of the cage until they're big enough that they can't squeeze through it anymore :)

    @@LittleIcarus Omg hello! Wow, I commented that in May ‘21 so it’s been almost 16 months since then! Honestly, can I get deep here? lol. I absolutely adore my rats. They are such sweet little boys and they each have their own unique, funny personalities. Here’s the thing. I anticipated needing veterinary care for them; I even brought all 3 of them in just to have their very first checkup. I really wish that was the only time we needed the vet. The unfortunate reality is that rats are extremely prone to upper respiratory infections and I did not fully understand that until I got my own rats. I also entirely underestimated how the loss of them would affect me emotionally. Basically, after having them for a couple of months they all began to show symptoms of URIs. Back to the vet, no problem. Got some oral antibiotics for them and went on our way. The antibiotics would help for a little while and then the symptoms would return- sneezing, loud snuffling when they were up and active, occasional discharge from the eyes and nose. In January ‘22, I noticed one of my rats was breathing hard and he was just laying down. Emergency vet. Decided to end his suffering. God, I start crying when I think about that night, just awful. I feel so guilty for not being more proactive about medicating them. I misunderstood the vet saying “they’ll have this URI for the rest of their life, it’s really common” and took it as “They’re always going to be symptomatic.” My rat’s condition wasn’t improving and I thought that was normal. Lesson learned. I still have the other two boys though and I am VERY thorough in their health care. Humidifier next to the cage, daily nebulizing with saline, baytril and doxycycline twice a day. It’s a lot and for a long time after my one little guy passed, I wasn’t as close with the other two. They reminded me of him. I totally wrote a novel here but I hope people will read this and learn from my mistakes. Rats are wonderful animals. They can certainly be quite a lot of work to keep healthy. Losing them, tiny as they may be, can be much more painful than one might expect. I think once my two little boys pass on, I’m going to go on hiatus from being a Rat Mom. I’d love to raise more rats in the future, but I don’t see myself rushing into getting babies again. I’d consider adopting adults, actually. Thank you very much for asking, sorry again for the novel, and have an awesome day 😀

    An idea that i found to be useful when i had rats was to take a handful of (used) bedding from their old place and sprinkle it above the bedding in their new cage, so it smells a bit like home to them. Aswell as putting a small amount of it in the carrier on the trip to their new home. It can help tremendously for them to have something smelling familiar to ease the stress of transition to the new environment. If their main food mix at their former place was different (brandwise or selfmade) from yours then it's also wise to take a handful or 2 of this and mix it with the new food for the first few days and then fade it out. In addition, their favorite toy is nice to take with you, if the person you get them from is ok with that, and put into the cage with them, best in front of a hideout. I think you are doing fantastic and your sweet new boys seem to settle in splendidly. :) I wish you all the best and a long healthy time with your babies! And good luck for the next step of introducing them to Rolo (hope I spelled that right ^^')! Greetings from Berlin

    My daughter and I are getting 3 rats together, I guided her on research to choose an animal that is appropriate for what she wants in a pet, and have been guiding her on how to research for new pets properly. She's taking it very seriously, making care sheets, double checking her information as I am also doing research separately to make sure her information is correct. Under adult supervision do you think an average to above average maturity 10 year old can reasonably handle the majority of care for rats? As I said these will be our rats and I will be highly supervising their care, I am just curious others opinions on this because people often bash buying small animals for kids. Personally I think it depends on the child. With my 10 year old I've been confident that she is mature enough for it from the beginning, but with my 12 year old I am lukewarm like 2/10 on her getting a pet as she talks about it from time to time but hasn't shown much interest in actually doing research or being excited about the process of preparing for a new pet. I think another major factor also is the fact that even if my daughter lost all interest in the rats in 2 weeks I would be more than happy to care for them myself and as I don't work I have more than ample time to do so. sorry for ramble-posting. Really love this comprehensive video. :)

    I've had my boys since Saturday 14th and 1 of my boys is sneezing and sniffling lots. I did contact the vets but then I read up loads about new home sneezes and this video has eased my mind.

    This video has saved me from so much stress. I obviously did my research before bringing home my boys but not one thing I saw before getting them warned me about the new rat sniffles. I was about to book them in for the vets I was so worried! So this was a weight of my sholders! This was a very informative video! Thank you!

Then I found a breeder and met him about two hours away from here, now I just need a better cage. Thank you for all of your info, it's been invaluable.

    I love your videos and thank you! my tiny rat after two days escaped and I was beside myself looking all over my condo which is pretty much rat proof where they can’t get out or underneath or behind cabinets fridge toilet but I was so distraught and came up with an idea of getting a thermal imaging machine!!! It detects a heat source. Fortunately I heard a clink on my kitchen counter at 5 AM (I had blocked up the sink so she could not get down the drain)... and when I left the couch I saw her but she was so fast and don’t know where she hid... as I left the house I put the other baby and her cage on the kitchen counter when I got home the baby in the cage kept looking up and I thought it was strange because I had a towel over the cage and when I lifted the towel the lost baby was under there.....I guess freedom didn’t work out for her... ;). &And I’m still trying to figure out how she got up onto the kitchen counter...lol I heard so many stories of people losing their pocket pets just an idea a thermal imaging which you can get for an iPhone or rent it may help.... Instead of training two babies at a time on the sofa one at a time would be better especially based on the personality of the lost baby was acting more adventurous... Keep up your videos my friends and I, Rat lovers, enjoy them !!

    I've had two rats who both loved long, happy, healthy lives. However, I purchased them to feed them to my snake, who did not eat them. So for both of them, it was a relatively slow process of keeping them in a small cage until they were comfortable being handled. (Got them about a year apart). They both became my absolute best friends. My second rat recently passed away and although I don't feel ready to get a new rat so soon, I'm getting one today because I'm moving into my first apartment in less than a week and I want to have a rat with me when I move in. Gonna go get another feeder rat, not going in my snakes cage this time.
