Rats playing tug of war** SO CUTE AND FUNNY :)

My rats are spoiled rotten and have a very aggressive disposition when it comes down to their treats :) I love them all dearly and spoil them to death.

I have them in a 55 gallon aquarium, but there is plenty of ventilation don't worry :)

don't you mean spoiled ratten?

Use hardwood shavings. Any soft wood gives the animals respiratory problems.

@11thhourreprieve Aspen is a nice hardwood that comes in cheap shavings, is safe for rats, and absorbs odor well. :)

@cordmircydinkens yeah I've just found that out myself. Had rats for a couple of months now and my last purchase of pine bedding was dusty as hell, far dustier than it used to be. I sent the store an email to complain about the drop in quality as I've been buying their pine for my mice for ages. I linked them details of why pine is bad and suggested they sell something like ecobed instead which is what I've moved onto. Hopefully they'll change their product range.

@PostgodAfterbirth I didn't say it was violent, I said it could turn violent. It's just a better idea to cut pieces so they're not fighting over it.

The cage looks clean, it's just boring... i hope they take the rats out often...

i wish i could free-range more, my parents won't allow it ;)

[jodaisyandrats]

that cage needs to be bigger!! more floors, loner life!!!

[PostgodAfterbirth]

@RichieSam5 That was nowhere near violent. Sheesh. But yeah, aquariums are a bad idea because of the ammonia from urine. The cage looks really clean though, that's a good thing. I'm a free-ranger myself :)

oh yay minimal ventilation and only one box ): your terrible...and just because its 55 gallons doesnt meen there is a ton on ventilation.. a wire cage is much better. there are spaces for air to travel in and out..its open...unlike ur cage. your rats need some toys aswell...and more than ONE hide place..evil

[madcrazyanimallover]

Your rats are CUTE!!!

[catherineistoocool]

That's cute! I hope that's not their cage though lol

[RichieSam5]

You shouldn't have them fight over it like that. It's kindof abusive. Just cut them pieces instead so they don't turn violent.

And you really shouldn't keep so many rats in that small of a cage...
