    My mom just agreed to get me pet rats! I'm so excited. I still have some work to do to clean space for them, and get all the supplies I need. but it shouldn't take too long. I've been using your videos to help with my research on how to properly care for pet rats, so thanks for all the great advice! I can't wait to look after my own little pet rats, they're so cute!!

      @@aryastark3148 you can get it from a breeder, and rescuing isn’t ideal eather. I rescued my previous rats and one was adorable and cute but the other wasn’t tamable, bit me a lot, was agressive and attacked my other one to the point where they killed one another. Not a great thing to have rescue rats.

    I cut up cheap color-cordinating bath mats with no-skid bottoms to cover all solid and wire flooring except the basement--it gets papar pellets. Bath mats toss right into the wash. Awesomely easy and attractive! And paper pellets don't kick out as easily as loose bedding.

    Lovely cage and set up. I've noticed how much our 4 female rats are more active than your boys... when they get into a cleaned cage with a new set up they go totally zoomies and run around trying out everything. They also immediately get to work creating elaborate nests out of the hay, paper and material we put in. Boys are so chill in comparison :)

  • @cerial0411
    @cerial0411 2 года назад

    You may want to use glass dividers giving them "floors". Screen door glass "single pane" makes for next to free glass that can serve as a shelf and can easily be cut to fit how you want it to. Of course you do want to grind the edges so they are smooth and watch to make sure they are not chewing on the edges. But it makes clean up and changing the cage around easy. If you do want to use the trays line the bottom of the tray with peel and stick vinyl flooring to once again aid in clean up as well as preventing rust.

    When I got my savic suite royal 95 cage, I had 2 other people help me put it together, I don't think I would have been able to put it together alone, cause the 3 of us even struggled. 😂 This cage is honestly perfect for a naturalistic setup with it's brown color! I really want to try and make a deeper base for my cage, cause the bedding is literally going everywhere. Since I can't put as much bedding in as before in their old cage, I just got a bigger dig box for my boys, but they really love their coco soil so I think they don't mind. ☺
