Wat supplies do i need to have for my new pet rat???

Answer 1

I see you said rat. You can never get one rat. they are very social animals you need to get them in same s*x pairs PLEASE. Ask anyone. They will say you need them in same s*x pairs.

Supplies:

Large cage

food

water bottle

food dish

lots of toys

some hammocks

bedding (NOT pine or cedar...I use carefresh)

litter pan so you can litter train them

lots and lots of love

Get 2 rats not one..TWO

Main supplies:

- Another rat (they should not be kept alone!)

- A large cage, such as the Super Pet Exotics or something of similar dimensions.

- Chew-proof water bottle

- Quality bedding (CareFresh, Yesterday's News, Apsen. NO PINE OR CEDAR)

- Hammocks, hideaways/igloos

Answer 6

A big cage, basic rule of thumb is around 2.5 square feet per rat. Also, they'd be most happy with a cagemate of the same s*x, rats are extremely social and love company.

You'll need a water bottle,

rat food,

a bowl,

a salt wheel is good to have,

some toys (some parrot toys work great, like chew block shish-kebabs and ladders),

something to chew on like wood pieces (from a store Not outside),

mine love ferret hammocks,

treats like yogies (mine love the small berry ones),

if you have a lot of wire that they'll be stepping on, it's good to have some grass mats or wood or something like that to put on it to keep them from hurting their feet.

Bedding: NOT pine or cedar, it can hurt their respiratory system, i love carefresh but things like yesterday's news and aspen are good too.

Toilet paper tubes and other things like that make great toys.

have fun with your new ratlet!
