    From a fellow rat lover, wire flooring is really rough on ratty paws and can cause issues like bumble foot which can lead to serious infections. A quick fix would be to lay down some wash cloths or towels over the exposed wire flooring. (:

    How wonderful! But be careful with the saw dust, as when urinated on and left it can cause respiratory infections. Also careful with the ''bridges'' in the cage, as my ratties nails used to get caught in it! So I decided to cover it with fabric which I washed weekly :)

    I used to have a rat like the black and white one so, this video brought back good memories! We would stuff a few tissues in the cage wire openings because he liked to pull them through and decorate his milk carton with them! He would even make "windows" in the carton!

    I had never been around them. My friends bought 2 for their young kids. They couldn't have dogs in the apartment and the dad was allergic to cats. I wasn't sure how they'd be with the kids. But they were SO SWEET and gentle! And my friends were great parents who taught the kids how to handle them, so it was never any problem. They were wonderful pets! I have thought of getting some. (If I ever find a full time job again.) The only bad thing is they don't live very long.

    It's true! My ducks eat better than I do. (I can hear it every time somebody goes to the store: what do you mean, we need more lettuce?) And Dennis says that we have an opossum nesting in our backyard on the shelf by the door. He says they eat rats. I haven't seen any rats lately. I saw a little mouse in the duck house one night and a couple of lizards. I don't know why these ducks haven't figured out they can eat the lizards. I think we feed them too much. Our old ducks we just used to throw the scraps of the back door. And they would eat anything. These ducks are spoiled. They have the good duck food and everything. Of course they have to share it with the squirrels and the birds and the ibises (But thankfully this morning there were only three ibises. In the middle of the summer, there were 12. I used to think they were pretty and they never came near us but then they started multiplying and eating all of our ducks' food. And then one day we found one that was bleeding and we had to take it to the sea bird sanctuary. Thankfully at least we have a seabird sanctuary and they take care of the injured sea birds. If we find anything else that's injured we never know where to take it. It was really busy that afternoon when we went to the seabird sanctuary. And it was really hot so I didn't want to walk around as much as Dennis did. And it was feeding time so it smelled like fish everywhere.)

    Nice project for your family to do together but the bars on that cage are way too wide for rats. Rats can squeeze through very small gaps and spaces and you're going to find that cage won't hold them in for long. If you want to continue to use that crate you'll need to add mesh wiring all around it to prevent them from getting out. Good luck!
