I've been trying to train mine, and tonight one of them went in there to poop. I was proud of how very quickly he learned, however when he left the tray the poop was stuck to his butt. It's the thought that counts

One of my old rats roamed around on my bed once while I cleaned the cage, he was sort of panicing, I didn't know why. Eventually I saw him sitting on the corner of my bed, then just laid there, and when I wanted to pick him up he was clinging onto the sheets to hide some drops beneath him. Silly boy was worried I'd be mad at him for pooping on the bed and tried to hide his drops xD It was adorable.

Great video! I actually use ONLY rocks in the litter trays rather than regular litter, and my boys have been wonderful about using the litter trays. I use smooth, white landscape rocks. The best part is they are 100% reusable, so no waste. I take both trays out every night and wash the rocks - the poops float and the rocks are heavy, so it’s easy to pour off the water and all the “messes” wash down the drain. I make sure to stir the water through the rocks to get any stray poop - that’s what makes the white rocks so great, the poo is so easy to see. Then I wrap the rocks in a towel to dry them, dry out the litter tray and pour the rocks back in. Clean litter pans each day, and odors are almost non-existent! When I fully clean the cage each week, I also soak the rocks in a bit of water with oxy-clean to deodorize and sanitize them - rocks are porous, so eventually they do retain odor unless this is done. My boys like their litter boxes so much, they go back up the ramp into their cage during playtime to do their “business,” then come back down again to play, so they don’t leave messes anywhere but in the boxes. 🙂

I’ve watched a lot of litter box training videos but I have to say yours was the most educational and easy to follow wish me luck

watching your videos with the KZread Closed Captioning option on is actually hilarious. "make sure the litter is dust free, or your rights may develop whispering problems", "it might be time-consuming putting all the poop into the literature", "....your rocks are pilling opinion when they're out on your bed or something like that maybe just have the literature out with you and with them lost their plane and just have that option"!!! OMG, so good! Plus my dad's name is Russ!!!! lolololol ............hehehe.....oh my goodness. ok, carry on, xo

Yes, my rat Scabbers uses humans as toilets too, it really is annoying. I'm feeling your pain

My rats were litter trained when i first got them (I’ve had them from babies, I don’t know how they were trained but they always went in their litter tray) but now they are so lazy and will do it anywhere. I have a plastic bed (it’s basically a small plastic bowl on the side of the cage) that they love to sleep in but recently have been using that as a litter Tray instead as they are too lazy to go all the way to the bottom floor. Shall I just turn this into a litter tray so that they have two or try to get them to not use it?

Thank you! I'm a new rat parent and this video is very helpful along with the reacting to your audience's cages video! I learned about the options of using a full fleece bedding with a litter tray addition rather than filling the entire bottom with bedding. (If I'm understanding correctly) This will make clean up way easier and I think they'll be more comfortable. My boys are very neat and do not like being around their own refuse!

Brillant. There is a hole in one corner of the ground floor opening to the tray underneath. Yes, a couple of poos left as a reminder. Thanks for the rock idea. I use toweling as bedding & there's regular sheet change. It's usual to see chewed towels on my washing line. It's worth the work. Thanks for your videos, the info you give helps to keep them happy and safe.

I used to use pea gravel with old newspaper underneath for litter, I cleaned it everyday or every other day. Worked great 👍🏻

Just a heads up about biocatolet! Apparently they put some fragrance in (it’s not really obvious at all but it helps to neutralise smells or something) which sensitive rats may have issues with. My two older boys can’t have it because they’re prone to URIs

I really like your videos and you are the first youtube channel I have subscribed to :). P.S. I'm sorry to hear about Rolo, I hope he has some happy times in the future!

Thank you so much I actually knew most of that except for the pea Rock thanks for the idea I will share this

My Snoopy (usually) uses 2 or 3 litter pans to poo. They're basically cheap kitchen drawer dividers. He pees outside of his house, just on the doorstep, as many rats do. When he is outside of the cage or in his playarea he pees on paper kitchen towels. Some 6 layers thick. I had trained him to use those when he is outside of the cage on the couch with me by just picking him up when I saw him 'take the position' and plopped him on those. And I am very lucky that he is one of the few rats I had that never drips pee on everything. My two new rats Hector and Firi usually poop everywhere in the cage tray. It is also too full for litter pans. But they have also decided to use the big Zooplus cabin that I got for them as a toilet area. It has shredded paper towels in it. They also usually pee anywhere in the cage tray. They have paper kitchen towels on the shelf outside of the tube that they usually sleep in and used to pee there. Lately they stopped peeing there. They do sometimes just let it flow when they are in the top tube though. From where it just drips down onto the roof of their wooden cabin. I cleaned it this week and it is virtually scent-free again. My condolences about Rolo. I just read about it in a comment below this post 💖 Snoopy just had his second birthday on the 26th. He is also getting old age ailments already. His arthritis is slowly progressing and he may also have heart problems because he is breathing with his sides a lot. I am fairly sure that it is not Myco, but I will take him to the vet for a major checkup hopefully this Wednesday when the weather is a bit cooler to take him out in the carrier with me (My American friend who had more problem rats than I had is thinking that he may have heart problems and not Myco as well). Ratguide says that 18 to 28 degrees C are the optimal temperatures for rats, and from what I observed last week they are right. My house was almost 27 degrees inside and I used icepacks and tiles in the rats' cages to help them stay cool. And refreshed their water multiple times a day. Especially for Snoopy, because he is already old, a bit overweight and already has some problems. Take care 💖

I had no idea it was this straightforward!

I’m getting rats after going on vacation! So exited!

YES THANK YOU!!! I got my pet rat Milo from my brother and he was way to big for his cage so I got him a huge cage. So after I got him the new cage, He just pooped every were and it took me like 45 minutes to clean his cage. But this time, I put some poops in a tray along with a rock and as soon as I picked him up and placed him in the tray Milo sniffed it, walked around it, then went in it and pooped. I was so happy thank you so much, Milo learned super fast!!

Aww, your rats are so cute!

Very helpful video. I've got 2 boys and I'm having trouble training them to urinate in the right places, so I'm going to get a 'wee stone' like you mentioned, it might help. And yes pet rats are just as safe and clean as any other pet, they are not diseased at all like the stereotype says.

Thank you for the info.

Mine are pretty good about using corner boxes with compressed paper litter to poo in but still pee everywhere. I may try glass aquarium marbles to one litter box to try to encourage them.

Cute little rats. Love em. ❤️

Everything makes sense now. The litter trays I had for my rats were to small! Geez I need to keep this in mind for when I get rats next. My bunny is very well litter tray trained though ^^

I will try to start buying too different beddings from now on thanks I have a pee rock but they go wherever there's bedding so different ones would be a huge help

thanks for the tips! I wanted to get rats in the future

Hi, Imee! Great video! Have you been successful with litter training any of your mice? Would this method work for a mouse?

Every rat I’ve ever had (dozens), and rabbits, and ferrets etc that “poop in one corner” have always just crapped wherever the hell they wanted 🤣 batting zeros.

thanks for info!

I set up a litter tray a day ago and put a bunch of poo in it. Not really knowing if any of them were using it. I emptied it today and came back to to it in minutes and they're already using it properly!!! 😁😁😁

Helpful! TY ❤️

Hello I have been watching your videos for a year now and am looking into getting two, I am gonna use this method, I hope it works! I know s lot mmore about rats now and adore them 😍😍😍😍

Do you have an info on what litter box you got? I tried ordering one from Amazon, but it's huge. Looking for something that will fit the cage and their size better, but Google isn't being very helpful at the moment.

I know it sounds silly but I got my beautiful rats a couple of weeks ago from a breeder who didn't litter train them at all and when they got home, straight away they started using the litter tray. I don't know if it was a coincidence or a miricle! Less mess is always better so I'm hoping they are gonna do the same when I let them out for longer times 🙏

Hey! I have two rats, I have a two story around 90cm cage. I use cat litter and sprinkle a bit of wood bedding to for them, I was wondering if you could recommend any toys?

Thanks 💕

I got so lucky with my 2 girls they immediately took to the training the 1st day no work at all ❤

Where do you get your bedding from? Or if you make it yourself, how do you do it ? Thanks a bunch 😊💜

Should I get 2 litter trays for 3 rats or just 1? I only have a multilevel cage but the middle floor has been removed

Cool rats are smart animals

Hi so sorry that this is an old video but I am wondering about how many litter boxes i need for 2 rats and what is the best litter for rats that ships to the Usa.

Love your cages, where did you purchase from, please?

Would it be okay if I just used a big bin/tray for a litter tray?

So I’m new to this. I have a extra flight cage and I’m thinking about getting rats. Can you use fleece for rats main bedding if I give them a dig box? I’ve learned my cage size is big enough for 6 rats but I’m thinking about getting 3 baby rats.

I have a question I have a type of rat called a double Rex and I think they aren’t getting much bigger than about this medium size they are which is still kinda big but anyways I have a four story cage so idk if I can fit the litter tray if I got one up top /:

great vid, i will use this for my girls. also, i like how she thinks talking about poo will get her demonitised

I found my rats sleeping in what was supposed to be the litter tray. Should I try to make it more uncomfortable in there, or are they still going to use it for litter? I have rocks in there to encourage them to pee, and paper to soak it up. (They ripped up some of the paper to make it more comfy to lie in.)

Im getting rats on the 19 im so excited

Hey, Does cut up carboard little pieces work as litter for the toilet?

Is it OK to use a critter litter when potty training rats? I just got three girls and my wife picked up some Kaytee Critter Litter. It says it's 99% dust free but I'm a little worried the girls will chew on it since theyre only 8 weeks old

So with the peeing would it be an option to put the rock somewhere in the cage that’s visible and when you know their peeing on it you can put it in their litter tray

I have 2 rats that are girls that mostly poo in there litter tray but sometimes poo else were so are that litter traind or not?

Im getting rats soon could i use the wood pallets litter? from pets at home Wood pallets non clumping litter for rats? x

I have the same litterbox and litter!!

Rats are inherently clean and will adapt happily when guided.

What is my rats kick their bedding into the litter box? Also I tried a pee rock and they moved it out of the litter box. Any suggestions?

I don’t wash the rock as the scent would be washed off. I don’t like fleece as it’s not an absorbent bedding and also not enriching for them because they can’t forage in it. The supplement is Dr squiggles you can get it from rat rations 🙂

Hi! I have two young males. They love their hammock, but also use it as a litter box.. how can I get them to do their business in the litter box I placed in the cage? Thanks in advance!

Mice as well can be trained? Thanks!

I've had mine for about 2 weeks, I've seen one of them go in the tray 2 times but the other one doesn't and they both pee and poop EVERYWHERE! They never chose a corner I just chose for them that was closest to where they seemed to go the most. I haven't been very diligent about putting their poo back into it so maybe that's why they haven't learned yet. When I deep clean their cage tomorrow I'll definitely save some poo too lol

I have ferrets and I’ve noticed that rats and ferrets are quite simular so I have most things already and litter training them is pretty much the same

1st like comment and view your rats are sooo cute I’m so sorry about rolo 😍❤️❤️💖💖💖😘😘🧡🧡 my litter tray is the same as yours but grey and they do their business around it I also got cat toys and hung them from the top of the cage with string they love it I highly recommend it 💖💖 edit: I love you so much your one of my favourite you tubers 💖💖❤️❤️❤️ thanks for the like 💖💖🧡🧡💝💝❤️❤️😘😘😍😍😇😇😇😊😊😊

How do you deal with pee. My rats always pee in their beds and I suppose they are getting older so it might be loss of bladder control. I'm getting a pee Roch tho so that will help bec I've had it before

You had me at "poo colored shirt'! I needed to watch this because I am getting my very first wats from a small breeder who is very very careful to breed out bad traits and produce very healthy Dumbo Eared Rex Wats. Getting juvies...5 weeks I think. And two adult males. I bought a YUUGE double tier wat (not ferret) cage. And I have a smaller separate cage for the juvies until they get larger. But I am buying a STEEL litter tray, with a grate over top. The grate is replaceable for $10 if it gets to worn. The grate is made for little rat feet.
