well, went out and bought a 3' high, 4 tiered cage for the rat pack.
we were using an aquarium but they were rapidly growing out of it. they freaking love the cage. thank god - the damn thing cost $139.00 more than my 1st car. |
You'll probably want to seperate the males and females soon...you'd be surprised how early things can take place.,.

But...I'm sure you already thought of that :) |

we thought we'd maybe try one litter - then keep them seperated after that .. i think we have 1 female and 2 males. when we do seperate them we'll need another female to keep her company |
Yeah...they're a social creature.
I have only one female now, and have been trying to get her a friend, but we have periods around here you just can't get them.... Good thing that they're so human friendly, because we'll spend time with her, but another rat would be nice. |
well,
i got home yesterday and found the female rat cleaning off a couple of babies. I knew she was preggers so i moved her into the old aquarium one day before - talk about perfect timing. i cant see them clearly - but there looks like about 10 babies. she seems to want out a lot but is still tending to the babies. hopefully they'll all survive and i can get some cool pictures to post |
So, does this make you a grandpa?! :D

cute rats.
i bought a feeder mouse for a dollar once. his name was bob. he was the fattest one i could find, but he smelt so bad i had to give him away. he stunk up my entire room, along with my hallway, and i bathed him twice a day. made no difference. |

so - if anyone wants some rats in a couple of months - let me know ... |

i have to post new pics - they're 5 times the size now . and yeah - mice are smellier than rats. i clean the rat cage out once a week, and take it out in the back yard to hose it down. just bought some pet shampoo to give them a bath during the weekly cleaning as well. |
