@KassandraMorseME fancy rat means pet rat so dumbos are also fancy rats. All rats can breed with each other. Dumbo, rex, tailless, hairless are only types, they are all rattus norvegicus.
I have a question. I've had one rat, Izabell and she warmed up to me very quickly, even though she was my first rat. I recently got another as a companion for her, Sachi and she wants nothing to do with me unless I have treats... I've had her for 2 1/2 weeks I think but I can't take her out for longer than 10 minutes before she gets so scared she pees on me. How do I make her warm up to me like Izabell?
@ToxisGrey Try giving her tidbits in the cage instead of trying to take her out. She feels safe there, when she starts coming to the front of the cage when you go to it start putting your hand in front of the door then start placeing the treat farther and farther up your arm. Its a fun little game I invented when my rat Lyric was to shy. Another thing you can do is let your other rattie be the example. Rats follow so she will start to trust you through her.
ps, even treats like their fav, a cooked whole egg don't geth them out... Need some patience They'll come out some day ;;; they ARE curious with everything except the condo , haha
got mine three weeks ago (2 sisters, betty and luna), They come to see when I put my hand in the cage, now I've been letting the door of their cage open for two days and they'll wont come out... they just run around and sniffle on the outer top of the cage and stay for a few minutes nad get back in right after, I've buid a ramp with wooden shelf with a towel on it
@phenixdeluxe1980 dont worry they will come out! 2 weeks is a normal time :) sometimes just let your hand near them, dont move and let them sniff it, they will get used to your smell and not fear you.
Hey! I have a few questions for you, Do thoses plastic run about balls stress rats out because I wanted to buy one for sophie and Oliver, but I wasn't sure
The one I had first, Houdini, was SO easy to get comfortable around me. He is so outgoing- like a little dog. I noticed he started getting a little depressed, I thought he was lonely. So I got him a friend.The new baby, that i've had for a month, I named him woodstock (the city in wich harry Houdini became famous) and I can't get him to come out. I found him yogies, he LOVES them. When he comes out of the cage, he wants nothing to do with me, so I let him explore.What do i do?
Exploring is good for him too. But he may need extra socializing.
When I have new rats, I always pull them out of the cage several times a day and keep them with me, put them down my shirt so they get comfortable or keep them in your hoodie.
The problem is, when i pick him up, he literally freaks out. I put him down becuase I'm afraid he'll jump and hurt himself.
He doesn't seem to want to be held. What i discovered yesterday is I sit down on the bed with him, and put down a big towel. He just runs around in the towel with Houdini and seems pretty happy. He crawls on me, in search of yogies, but won't let me hold him. sigh...
I'm not going to comment on breeding rats, but I would like to say this: ask anyone who knows rats well, they'll all tell you that it's VITAL that rats are kept in pairs or more. So make sure those friends are happy to have at least 2 each :P
I totally agree, all my rats are rescues and all my females get spayed. This group of rats, I picked up mom and her young litter from a high kill shelter.
heh I see your rats trying o steal your coffee too, my rat Eve..I know rats cant drink it but when am at computer she wants out I let her run around on my desk (I do block it) I looked away for sec I heard sound of laping she was drnking my coffee and I was like hey! thats mine!..Yes..I will eat after my rat..more then people...I have shared a whole apple with her then doesnt want a rest I will eat it...I do that all my rodents..but wild ones..heh in my life time
All depends HFXGRAFF, I have had a loner rat that will not mind a newbie while some males are loner rats and can be agressive. however the younger the rat you introduce the better the chance the older male will accept and the younger male will submit to the older males leadership.
PERFECT :) I have 9 rats right now and Love them very much amd in search of a white one though, most of my rats are dumbo accept three. My oldest is 4 years old and still very active. Just love them. thanks for posting.
I bet they've all grown up to be such lovely crazy fuzzy's. They sure lavished the attention in this video so its a sign they've been raised real well. n.n
The music is absolutely PERFECT. If it was not composed with wiggly baby rats, soft tummies and vibrating noses in mind... it should have been! LOL. That is the babyrattiest piece of music ever. Rat Rave. BANANAS FOR DESSERT!
very very cute..i have 9 ratties currently and am adopting three 6 week old babies this saturday..all of my kids are rescues and i wouldnt go any other way..breeding is overrated and unneeded with so many rats beign dropped at rescues and animal shelters
rofl i am happy you approve of what im doing..i guess im kind of an un official rescue of sorts, taking in the unwanted and abused..my roommate supports what im doing..and i am hoping one day to be able to afford a FN cage or two...its my dream to have those cages for my kids
cool video so cute i have twi rat i have had them a coupe of weeks now and they seem ok around my but i am too paranoyed to let them out like that i was wonering what u made that wall out of???
It's called coroplast. It's a corogated plastic, mostly used to make signs, like election signs. I buy mine at Home Depot and cut to size. It works great!
i was just wondering...if you have two rats and one dies, what happens to the remaining one...does he just go into depression for the rest of his life? how do you deal with that?
Those babies were about 4 to 5 weeks old. The wall is coroplast. It's a corogated plastic usually used for signs. I get mine at the Home Depot. They come in 8' x 4' so I can cut them to size.
Hey rat fans out there i have a problem my mum just allows me to have one rat but i readed that they needs other rats to be with them or can i just have one rat please send me a message if you know something about that
You Can have 1, but you need to play with it alot and they will get very board when you are at school (if you still are at shool) and asleep. So keep on trying to talk your mum into 2!!!!
AHH How cute! I remember all the crazy babies, sniffing and going everywhere with the attention span of 10 seconds. I miss those days. Please keep up the videos so I can enjoy the beautiful babies you own. =)
caffeine for baby rats...are you nuts..were they doing back flips after that!! i gave one of mine "old" fellas some and he seemed hyper after that..just the boost he needed
They are little timmy hoes freaks are they? :P They seem to be chewing on that cup going "where's my free doughnut!?" (That is a free doughnut on that cup right? or am I just crazy lol)
