To everyone asking about the perspex tray: Please watch 1:35-1:51 As i said in the video I can't film a tutorial on how to make this, because I've already made it and put it together, it would mean ordering new parts and making another base that I don't need. But it's really simple to do, I ordered perspex sheets cut to size to make a tray in the bottom, every cage is slightly different so you will need to measure the base of your cage and figure out how big the pieces need to be. The perspex sheets are all joined together with clear gorilla tape.
Hi I was wondering if you could tell me what you used adhesive you used for your perspex tray? I'm getting my boys one and I wanna make sure I use the right adhesive . Thank you love your videos xx
Are you able to please share with us the height of the perspex? The other measurements are unique to each cage, but the height would be helpful so we know how tall it might need to be in order to be effective. Love all your content! Thank you!
video ideas! : -morning routine with pets -night routine with pets -feeding all my pets (obviously you do lol. but I'm just curious of what you put in their food) -rat cage hacks (like your bath mat in your cage) -rat DIY's I know there not very good... but just what I would like to see! ❤️❤️❤️
Snuggle them a lot as babies or else they are going to be more dependent on each other and want to play more than nuzzle the human when out of the cage. Rats are the greatest thing that you can bring in to your life. Pop over to my channel when you get a chance and check out the video of "Rivers and her human" It's hilarious. That was taken a week or two after she came to live with us. She died last week and we have been crushed by the loss. I tell you what, I never thought I would love such a tiny little thing so much. But I do. And so will you. 😘
Also, remember how important it is to rearrange your cage often. I usually rearrange their cage every time I do a deep clean (every 3-4 weeks). Doing this can prevent them from getting bored or lazy.
Well I don’t own them YET but my friends do they said the are awesome pets and my mum loves them so we asked my dad he said yes but my brother does not know but we are getting them all on Wednesday
same here. I had ten girlies for a while as i rescue lol. i cant imagine having males again oh my. i switched to fleece and taught myself how to use a sewing machine so i use liners and lots of hammocks, then they have 2 litter boxes. fleece saved my life haha. i just switch the liners out weekly and their litterbox daily usually. theyre really good about not messing up their hammocks but i still wash those every few weeks because all the hair and few sanitary purposes. the plastic toys i usually wash weekly and i go to hobby lobby, they have tons of super cheap adorable cardboard boxes etc i also use and those usually get thrown out monthly since they dont pee in then or anything.
When I was around 6 years old my parents surprised me and my siblings with two rats. They’ll were beautiful, they were white and brown and white and black. I named them Shiloh and Cupcake, because Cupcake was more outgoing than Shiloh. I remember feeding them tater tots. Smart little creatures as well, we would let them free roam and they would come back at the call of their name. It was also where my love of small animals was born.
@@SuperKar6 don't ever get any animals without parents consent if you still live at home, it's not fair on your parents or the animals and they will probably make you rehome them which is not fair on the animals.
Yeah! When I had mice I couldn’t find a good way to clean their cage, it always had a strong smell of mice pee. I don’t know if it was the bedding or what. I don’t have them anymore, my ex got them. But it would be interesting to see once they need a clean
Is your cage the appropriate size? If it is too small for them to live in it will need cleaning a lot more often. Usually (at least in my case) you'll need to spot clean their cage every 1-2 weeks but a deep clean only ever 4-6
Fun fact: if your rats are lazy try rearrange there cage often , make a active cage set up (they have to climb to get from top to bottom lots of climbs, add rat brain games you can diy these or buy them!, less hammocks and more climbs (makes sure there is the same amount of hammocks as rats 1 hammock per rat or more, take them out more often, set them up on a routine so they know when it’s nap time and when it’s play time, I hope this comment helped anyone! Thank you
The gray one looks like my Vinnie. I love how you have so much different stuff in their cage. I am not creative at all so it helps to see other cage set ups. Thanks
My cage is very outdated and just not want my rats to lie I have two albino boys and I’m saving to the double ferret nation which is 400 pounds at the money I feel that huge and big enough for them to run and play
Hi there, I’m adopting my very first rats soon, and I was wondering how to wash their hammocks? You said warm wash, but does that include soap/detergent? Fabric softener? Thanks!
@@toofacedsugar1764 I just do a warm wash with a tiny bit of white vinegar andbit gets rid of the bad smell, same with their cage and toys, rinse with water, spray with 50/50 mixture of water and white vinegar, rinse again then dry
Is vinegar and water are safe for the rats? I dont see u wipes it out with water or anything so I was wondering if its was okay for them if they lick the bars or toys ?
Can somebody tell me about this cleaaning plan? every week I do a little clean (cleaning a bit of the bedding and cleaning try really dirty toys) and every month I do a DEEP CLEAN (changing out all the bedding, cleaning out all the toys and reattaching all the baskets and cleaning the actual cage
Audrey With A B I have been looking for someone who can do a really good cartoon/kawaii style rat holding its tail for me. I wanted to get a RIP tattoo of my little Rattie Rivers who passed away last week. Are you on instagram or deviantart?

Thank you for this. I haven't been cleaning THIS deeply and from now on I will. I didn't realise how little I was actually doing until I can across this video. Definitely going to buy more things for my boys and do a deep clean shortly. Thanks 🙂
My mouse is a baby its a few days old i bought it a cage and it got out so i stuck it in this small toat so next week i need to buy it a bigger one my mouse has alot of hideouts
@@Emiology Thank You for your help, I really appreciate it! I just got my 2 boys & they already have my heart, I want to give them the Best Life I can!! ❤ ❤
I got mice the other day and we don’t know how but one of them which is called Pebbles escaped while I was at school and I found her dead. Also I don’t know how old my mice are but if you don’t count their tail they are the pen size of my pinkie finger -Phoebe
So you only need to change the bedding 1 a month? I don’t understand what’s the difference between deep cleans and normal cleaning. I thought they needed their bedding changed on a weekly basis?
I really want rats but i just found out that they are illegal in Alberta:( I was crying for 45 minutes LITERALLY. so I found a petition and signed it. to normalize them in Alberta.
Every video I watch stresses me out more and more being a new pet rat(s) owner. I have a huge cage and lots of stuff for them but it's never the same as the videos.
Wot branches can u use in ur rat cage. We go walking quite often and come across big branches that would be good but I'm unshore wots ok if anythink is harmful. Please
Can you spell out the bedding for me? I don’t know hot to spell it so I can look it up. And the soil for the dig box can you just use any kind of dirt?
Hi, I bought a secondhand Liberta Explorer cage the same as yours however there was some rust on the bottom tray. I saw in this video you appear to have a perspex insert with high sides. Could you kindly tell me where you purchased it from? If its a DIY build where did you source the materials from? Keep up the great videos and many thanks.
@@Emiology 😂 mine chewed the metal clips off so quickly, I used it as much as I could but for some reason they just wanted to eat them 🙄 I use old pillowcases on wash day. How do you get the smell out of the hammocks and ropes? I use vinegar in the washer but everything still smells of pee 😑
@@rosecolouredhannah7538 I found that nature's miracle has a laundry boost that works really well for rat stink. Nothing else I've tried works as good.
