Welcome to my rat room

[ItchyGuy87]

For some reason this reminds me of David Attenborough...

[rattycorner]

@ItchyGuy87 - I suppose that's better than David Bellamy. ;-)

[ItchyGuy87]

@rattycorner Way better. David Attenborough is the man.

[wolfgal99]

@ livluvdance1 my family felt the same way don't loose your love for rats though who knows my mom said not in a million years but here I am with my girl willow!

[livluvdance1]

:)

how cool!!!

i want rats but the rest of my family think they're the type of sewer rats.. :/

i dream of having one alone:(

[LairLou]

@livluvdance1 Thats terrible! I wish people would understand how kind and nice rats are!

[patrick10001]

Nice I breed rats for food. And they are in the same cages :)! Only the pregnant girls go separated.

[LuZzeZzinaTH]

woooow =D, how do you clean all that!?

[rattycorner]

@LuZzeZzinaTH One or two cages every evening. They come out in turn for playtime, so I can clean the cage while they're out.

[wolfy14o]

Where do you get the rope in for the cage at?

[rattycorner]

From parrot suppliers. They're about £15. Try googling for 'bendy rope perch'.

[wolfy14o]

Thank you :D

[Rabbits101a]

@wolfy14o I make mine! Flice cut into 3 pices noted at the end and just braid it!

[yellowillow010]

how much do your cages cost?

[rattycorner]

I think they're around £130 now. That's for the two level Liberta Explorer cage. Try Googling.

[yellowillow010]

I have owned two rats, both boys, both in seperate times, and my mom had a female in college, I am 15 and I am thinking of getting two females, or one female and having her bred.. how would I do that? and for two rats what size of cage would you recommend that is not to pricey and huge! Thanks! :)

[LauraLeeTV]

@yellowillow010 Please don't be breeding for the sake of making more babies. Not only is it hard to place proper homes for them, but if you're going to be breeding pet store rats, you're just going to be producing more sickly rats. Leave the breeding for the experts who are trying to better the animals.

[KiubiJoe]

@yellowillow010 I'm 15 too:D I have two rats, one female and one neutured male. They are in a pretty big four level cage that cost about$100, but a smaller cage will do if you take them out alot to run around/play/explore :)

[RatsPal]

What cages do you use?

[rattycorner]

The big ones are Liberta Explorers and the cream coloured one is a Flight 400 Bird Cage.

[RatsPal]

Really?

I thought its Critter Nation, its looks the same..

Anyway your rats are super cute :)

You seems to be a great mom for them :)

[rattaholic]

i have to rats and u have 38 ,rite?

do u breed them cus i showed my mum an she was like

"that's ridiculous"but i fink its cool

good choice of pets by the way:D

so cute

[littleflamestar]

could you recommend any sites that have rat toys and adventure playgrounds or something? cuz we've had a new puppy and my girls are getting a bit bored staying in their cage.

[rattycorner]

You can't put links on here, but they will appreciate lots of cardboard boxes, parrot ropes, hammocks, parrot chew toys and that sort of stuff.

Your girls need to come out of the cage whatever you put in there. Can you let them out in a room away from the puppy?

[littleflamestar]

I have actually tried the bathroom and they love it. But i had to make sure there were no holes they could scamper into (that's why i didnt like them in there) But there wasn't and they had a lot of fun jumping around. I also saw a toilet roll in your vid and thought that was a brill idea cuz usually they make a lot of noise when ripping things up. thanks! going shoppin 4 toys 2moz! :)

[rattycorner]

Lol, they are noisy with paper, aren't they? Some of mine will just tear bits off the toilet roll, some will unroll the whole lot at once.

For some reason some of mine like collecting shiny stones too, but not all of them.

[littleflamestar]

ye, one dragged it into her side of the cage and just enrolled it (didn't even give her sister a chance) shiny stones? mine like bits of fabric and rip up anything close to the bars that they can get their teeth into. (my friend's sock was shredded to bits. :)

[Warcraftdude15]

oh my god 38 rats!?!?!? you are so lucky i can only have 2 at a time!

[Bearrick]

whats all o nthe bottom of their cages? that green stuff?

[rattycorner]

It's curly kale. They have it for breakfast some days.

[Bearrick]

Ah, so what is it you use for their bedding? cause i dont see that they have a litter box in their cage.

[rattycorner]

I use litter across the whole base. It's a shredded card bedding called Finacard.

[marushiki]

Wow, great looking cages. and cute little ratties

[lilah66]

Good for you I would definitely pay more for rats that live longer. I currently have six (two girls spayed) and 4 doughnuts lol

[lovesjms]

Woah. How many rats do you have??

[rattycorner]

There are 38 at the moment. I'm breeding to try to extend lifespan, so I'm giving myself plenty of options to select for health. I'm also a sucker for rescues and rehomes, which doesn't help keep the numbers down.

[wspadisaster]

Great rat room, I have one of those explorer cages for my boys they are fab. lots of love to all your ratties.

[Chinabelle]

Wow, those cages are wonderful! You must have very happy ratties :)
