💰 HOW MUCH DO RATS COST? 💰

Үй жануарлары мен аңдар

💰 You asked, and I answered! Even though it's really difficult to say exactly how much rats will cost you, I give you a general overview of how much it costs me. All conversions from £ to $ were done at the time of filming this so they might not be accurate depending on conversion rates! 💰
🐭 If theres anything you take away from this video PLEASE don't get rats or any other animal unless you have money saved in case of an emergency! 🐭

    To cut cost down on having a (very large) cage I got a cat cage by songnomics ($96 USD) and covered the back where I put the panels that were a 1" wire spacing instead of the half inch that the rest are with a half inch wire spacing hardware cloth that I already had! I stacked it 4 high instead of the layout they had advertised and they are so happy about all the space, but I definitely need to get more rat toys and things to fill it up compared to the rat manor I had before!

    My basic monthly costs for 3 rats: about 3.5 bags of 20 L Back2Nature paper pellets: € 52.50, about € 10 a month for Science Selective rat food and treats. Plus various costs for spoiling them. Paper kitchen towels for their toilet areas and houses, treats, chew treats. I have to change Snoopy's bedding about 2.5 times a month. That is 18 L of paper pellets for a Savic Royal Suite 95 Double. He is alone in that big cage and uses litter trays so I don't need to change all the bedding that often. Plus I change the bedding in his 4 litter trays about every 3 to 4 days. That is where the remaining 2 L of the 20 L comes in handy. For the two small rats in the half inch mesh covered Imac Play Time cage I have to change the bedding about 3 times a month at about 10 L of bedding every time. They aren't litter trained and also there is no room for litter trays in their cage, so I have to change their bedding more often. Probably once a week when they grow older. Timewise: about an hour every time to do Snoopy's cage. Changing the bedding, washing everything in the shower with hot water using the jet showerhead. Houses, shelves, tubes, bowls.The smaller cage takes about half an hour to change the bedding and wash everything. Also because it only has one big tray and not 2 trays and 2 shelves like the big cage.

Toys aren’t expensive. You can make a lot of the stuff too. Soooooo yeah. I’ve spent $25 on everything for my rats. Which is very low because I got a free cage, I didn’t pay for my rats (they were a gift), I already had bedding from my other pets, fleece is cheap, I made the hammocks and stuff, toys weren’t expensive, and the dollar store exists 😂

So happy my current rats are pretty healthy because it saves SO much money. One rat I was paying about £50-100 a month in vet bills for :S But then it also helps having rat savvy friends so I don't end up going to the vet for no reason!

    My calculations (in the netherlands) came to 315 euro ex. The rats themself for the first setup. Tough this does include a hammock (there also comes one with the case ill buy) which my sister will make for me. Tough it would still mean getting like 20 euros a month for bedding unless you can buy and store it in bulk. Besides that the toys which they will and may chew up... So i guesd a save estimate would be like 40 euros a month if you want a full cage and happy rats. Tough it should be less than that but i rather calculate too much than too little ;) And the VET also is a big point *_* Well, at least there is a specialized vet like 200 to 300 meters from my house xD

    Just because it lived a long time doesn’t mean it had the correct care it just means they got lucky. Just because one person has done something also does not make it right, gerbil cages aren’t suitable or big enough for rats at all, and human socialisation is not enough for a rat and does not replace the need for another rat. Hopefully your friend does a bit more research before getting a rat again, rat care has definitely come a long way and it’s good to utilise what we know now 😌

    I'm saving up for rats currently and all the supplies costs $105 thanks to that I found a good cage for cheap. I'm getting my rats from two different places. One is a nuetered male and the other two are intact females. The male costs $80 and I'm not sure about the females. This is what life savings accounts are for! I have like $200 in my savings account that I can't take, but my mom is ok with me using it for the adoption fees :)

    I’m not even kidding. First of all I’m getting 4 rats and the cage comfortably fits more than 13 rats and I’ve spent over £100 (and I’m still not finished getting them stuff) on toys/treats etc not to mention that my brother got stuff for them and so have my parents. The cage takes up like half of my room 😂 (Luckily my mum makes the hammocks because she’s really good at sewing ^^)

I just wanna know if it seems like a decent idea or if I should increase the initial amount.

    It’s not the best! You have to be careful what type of ink is on the paper as some are toxic, but it’s also not the most absorbing bedding. It would be okay as nesting material but not for the main bedding on the base of the cage

    Rats that are chewing bars are usually either bored or stressed by something. Make sure they have enough things to do in their cage, things to chew on but also some puzzle toys they can do to occupy themselves when you're not around. If you find they're chewing the bars at a specific time (in the middle of the night) make sure they're getting enough outside of the cage time right before this happens, so let them run around your room and get their energy out before you sleep (half an hour to an hour if you can) and they should settle down a lot
