i have been wanting 2 get pet rats and have been doing Research but as you have some, would you mind sharing any advice/links? also, specifically, do you have any advice on getting a relatively cheap cage that, ykno, is still Good For Rats thank you for your time!!!!!
Get a rabbit cage or something built for ferrets. “Rat” cages are way too small for rats. They need buddies, imo I liked raising boys better. They love hammocks. Bird toys are just as good as rat toys (ladders, ropes, cozies). They love attention and giving kisses!! And don’t burn candles/incense/smoke around your ratties, they have incredibly sensitive lungs. Get them low dust bedding or even better, cloth bedding, for this same reason. They’re so very smart too, so get them plenty of toys and re-arrange their cage every time you clean it to keep them stimulated. Look up the subreddit for rats, you could find lots of info there!

I stumbled across your blog through the gay rat post and I wanted to say you're actually 100% right If there's no other rats of the opposite sex, rats will hump to relieve sexual tension. I have 3 girls who do it all the time lmao
Excellent
I had my ratties out and my roommate and I got on the subject of what makes the alpha rat the alpha and I was like “idk. Age, size… size of testicles are all probably factors” and so naturally my roommate is like “dude I’m older, bigger, and have bigger testicles than both of them!” And I was like “yes Jared you would be the alpha rat I suppose” to which he responded by standing up off the couch, showing my rats his testicles, and whispering to them “I’m the alpha now”
anatomy of a rat
My friend and I couldn’t use the observatory today because it was cloudy so we decided to go adopt a rat instead
Oh noes! Very cute but please please please buy her a friend! Rats are very social creatures and can actually become depressed and anxious due to being so lonely. :)
We plan on it! We only got one today because the store was closing in like 5 minutes
i know male rats hump each other to assert dominance as the alpha rat but like my ratto boys do it SO often im p sure they’re just gay
