My pet rat accessories?

Aug 04, 2008 by Gaited Cowgirl | Posted in Rodents

I just got a pet rat, YAY! Sorry i'm very excited. I already have a cage, what else do i need. Thanx so much! I LOVE RATS!

Mine love hammocks, igloos, & the bigger guys like ferret toys. :P I tried wheels, but they just put bedding in them and then take a nap. 0.o Rats are very easily amused & very smart, so you can come up with all kinds of creative things. A couple of my cages even have bird toys in them. The best thing for a rat to have though is another rat. A playmate is always best, I've never had any do very well alone unless it was a mom with her babies. If you ever have anymore questions though, feel free to email me anytime. ^_^

Here I Go Again...: My New Roommate

by Carly

When I think about what I planned my summer to be, I laugh. How different. How funny. While I would love nothing more than to be setting sail on an adventure around the world next week, I cannot imagine leaving. I think that's a good thing. Besides, my friend Christine? The one who was my travel companion? Well, let's just say, we ended up as roommates anyway, so it all worked out. It is a madhouse around here: everyone loves her!! I mean, except for me...I have yet to be sold on the idea of sharing my bedroom with a rodent. And yes, Christine insists that "rats are the dogs of the rodent world," which, if I'm understanding correctly, simply means that they are friendly and make sweet pets. Good for them. I still don't understand the appeal. Shelby was sold almost immediately, however, and now spends the days begging me to let Cindy "scurry across my shoulders," because once that happens, apparently I'll be hooked. She went as far as to place the rat on my neck tonight, causing my entire body to instantly prickle with goosebumps. Taylor, given his current state of psychosis, is madly in love. I think Taffy has reason to be worried -- he plays with Cindy in my room and giggles and coos to her as if she's his child. He's already taken a few dozen picture of her, which is a sure sign of his new obsession. It's baffling, let me tell you. And my poor father...Fred has never asked for any of this. He is such a good man, a patient man, a dedicated and doting husband to an eccentric wife, and because of this he has found himself the proud owner of a hobby farm. Now this? A rat? I think it goes without saying that Daddy is the only one left on my side of being anti-rat. He's civil toward Cindy, but...that's about it. Horrifyingly enough, I sometimes waver in my staunch position and almost begin to admit that she's kind of cute. Once in a while, I stoop down and look at her in her cage and she puts her tiny paws on the bars and looks back at me. The times...
