Are all of your rats boys?

[wegaify]

if i had rats..i would call the alpha "Ceasar" or "Napoleon" :)

[mormonsick]

I have 12 females and 3 males, but I want more! My dream is to have a rat sanctuary thingy! I really love rats!

I have a male rat named Archie, too!

I have a geriatric cage with Margot and Violet

An older rat cage with Cassandra and Emmaline

A young girl cage with Roxy, Hasina, Panya, Naomi, and Jillian.

A boy cage with Dewey and Archie

And Jermaine is by himself for reasons.

I hope to make a video soon!

[wegaify]

ha ha.wheres is Davis,Jorge,Nessie,Anna Banana,Blue ?

[jorats]

Davis and friends didn't come to me till later. ;)

[Cowswillsoonrule]

I have some rats that I rescued, 2 females and 3 males, and I don't have enough money to neuter and spay all of them (I'm 12) so I have to let them out separately.

[jorats]

That's ok... as long as you are extremely careful for them to never meet, it would be such a shame if they were to accidentally breed.

[RuskayaKukla3]

how much is it to spayed rats?

[jorats]

I live in northern Ontario. My exotic vet charges $250 per spay.

[horselover8408]

@jorats WOW. Someone told me it could cost 50 bucks. And if they charge more then 100 they're over charging you!

[jorats]

@horselover8408 To be honest, if a vet would charge me under $100 (In Canada) I'd be worried that the vet wouldn't be doing a good job. My vet is tops when it comes to surgeries. I trust her completely and I know she is well worth the money I pay.

[horselover8408]

@jorats Yeah I see. I did think 50 seemed really cheap.

[Bullerbytjejen]

your silverfawn hooded is just wonderful !!

[RaeAGray]

Yes that too, but the one with multiple levels that has three holes and has a kind of a beige carpet outside. Thanks

[jorats]

Oh that one... from Petsmart as well. It's called the ferret condo.

[RaeAGray]

Also, where did u get eh ferret lodge/ hideout carpeted thing?

[jorats]

The red thing? The Octoplay was bought from Petsmart

[RaeAGray]

Hi, Just curious. Where did u get them and what are the tubes called that surround the cage, I have tried making some out of cardboard but they aren't very sturdy. How do you hang them up?

[jorats]

The tubes are drying vent hosing and they are hung up using metal shower curtain hooks.

[dylanstempel94]

holy i love everything about you and your rats how did u make that cgae?!!?!?! i ahve 5 buddies at the time.

[plaidskunk]

I'm pretty sure that your rats have a better life than most pet dogs! Since you just a few, it's sparked a few questions. lol

Are you a breeder? Do you rescue? And how do you prevent unwanted litters? I had rats years ago. One loved to sit on me as much as possible. My vet neutered him for me because he used to mark me with urine a lot. He stopped after that. :)

[jorats]

Hi! No, I'm not a breeder, I rescue. All my females are spayed mainly because it gives them a huge health benefit of preventing mammary tumours.

Also, rats are super social animals and they really do need to live in pairs or more. They are quite happy in big colonies as well. :)

[plaidskunk]

That's absolutely wonderful! I enjoyed your videos.

[AmyDepp]

ya I wanna get that huge cage or one slightly smaller!

I think it's a Martins cage but I can't be sure!

[jorats]

Yes, it's a custom made martins and I've attached three together to make it one huge cage.

[RaeAGray]

where did you order the cage from?

[RaeAGray]

One of your rats name's is Silas??? My rats name is Silas. Where did you get that cage?

[Indiathewise]

WOW you have an amazing setup for those guys! I wish i had ebough space to do something like that. How many rats do you have? They are all so cute!

[jorats]

Hi! In that cage at that time, there's 18 rats living together. But now, I have a total of 24 rats. 16 in that big cage and 8 in another big cage. :)
