Answer 1

FOOD lol...rats go nuts for food, as well as attention.  My rats will bounce around the cage if they see me walk into the room and won't stop until I let them out.  They also love treats, of course.  Rat treats and veggies are great and healthy but like any spoiled child they prefer junk food!

Most rats are very food driven so generally speaking food is the number one on any rats list of priorities.

Mental and physical stimulation are also important to keep them in tip top shape. Hiding treats around and under items helps keep them thinking and solving problems which also helps keep them happy.

Time with their "mum" or "dad" is also an excellent way of ensuring a happy rat. It also helps you get to know your pet and when playing with them you can have a look and feel to make sure there are no growths or conditions happening that you have not noticed.

The biggest thing is that you are relaxed and enjoy your pet on a daily basis.
