Help Me Find Clothes For My Rat?

Question

i need some rat clothes.

please dont say its dumb to put clothes on rats or its mean.

i have a hairless rat and it gets cold in my home so she needs some sweaters. can you give me a site where i can buy some?

and also is it okay to put like baby powder or baby sun screen on a hairless? my sister said it was but i dont know and im not going to risk my babies life. ( yes im in love with rats )

Answer 1

well about the clothes you could just make it like i do... if you have a small shirt you dont need you could cut it and make a shirt....and the sun screen wouldnt be bad but dont use so much

Answer 2

Hey, if your rat doesn't eat the clothing and it likes them, then go for it.  I would look on ebay, they might have some nice cheap ones.  That or google "+Rat and clothing"  that should bring up something that you could put on your baby. (:

As for baby powder and sunscreen, I don't think so.  Sunscreen I can almost garuntee you that it is a no because it could l**k it off its skin.  Besides, anything you put on its skin will absorb into his skin and into his blood steam just as he ate it.  I wouldn't put anything on that you wouldn't let him eat.  Still, I don't know if its safe.  I've never owned a rat.  I would not try it if you're unsure, just to be safe.

I have an IDog, and you can buy clothes for an IDog that could fit a rat. Also, you can get leash harnesses that could be used for a coat.

Hope I helped!!!

Absolutely. Why isn't your hairless in with your other rats, actually? Hairless rats should always have fully furred cagemates to keep them warm.

No recommendation on clothing for rats, I'd just keep your hairless in a cage with lots of warm hidey places, fleece, and furred cagemates.

i wouldnt put sweaters on your rat. try making the room it is in warmer. and i think baby sunscreen is ok for rats, they use it for horses. i know they are nothing alike but, i think its still ok.

(i have owned plenty of rats, btw. i was in love with them too! lol)
