Since I am a rattery and have owned rats for years and done a lot of research, I'd like to give some advice. I would really recommend always getting two babies of the same age at the same time, since they need others of the same age when they are younger to be able to properly emotionally and socially develop. Since you already have this guy and the group seems settled it's not so important this time, but in the future please make sure you always get two of the same age. I like that you are using bedding and not fleece as it's more enriching. I'd recommend taking out the ramps in the cage as it will be more fun for the rats. I really recommend adding in lots of wooden perches as rats love to climb on them and chew on them. Girls' half: if you move the sputnik over a bit you should be able to fit another hammock in there. The log hide in the back is a bit small so I'd recommend getting a size or two up from that one so they can sleep together in there if they want to. I'd also recommend adding some plastic baskets from the dollar store and some ropes in there. Rats love packed, crowded cages as it makes them feel safe, so it's really important to put as much in the cage as you can. Boys half: again I'd recommend adding a few extra hammocks, some plastic baskets and some ropes. Boys are lazy as I'm sure you know, but will still use ropes to get from one place to another if they are a little thicker than the ones you might put in the girls half. I'd recommend moving the corner hammock and putting it a bit higher so you can add in more cage items. I really hope you take my advice as, although your cage looks okay now, it is a bit empty in my opinion and isn't the most enriching. If you need any more tips/more specific advice, please feel free to ask or DM me on Instagram @rala.rattery You're rats are incredibly cute and I really like the babies markings, it would be great to see them in a more enriching cage though. Thanks
I wasn’t able to get Logan with another rat of his own age/size or I would’ve. he was given to me alone, severely underweight, and due to the world situation I couldn’t go out and get another. If I take out ramps I’m not sure how they’d get to the second level as they do use them haha, I’ve added ropes since as I also mentioned I was planning on it anyways, and the log hide was more for chewing as I had it laying around lol. Also I have tried baskets but they always end up chewing them down :/ I’m trying to find metal zip ties. Thanks for the advice, I have added more since this video 👍🏻
@@JaimieLynneHamilton okay good to know. I would try taking the ramps out anyway, they will use them if they're there because rats are lazy like that lol, but if you take them out they'll have to think and climb a bit more. :)
I have had over 30 rats in my life and each was the most wonderful lovable companion. Surprisingly the cuddliest I have ever had is a female named Prim. She is a Red eyed Himalayan (with very faint points so for all intensive purposes she is a PEW) with dumbo ears. From the day I brought her and her sister home she has sought out a human lap to curl up on for long cuddles and gratuitous pets. Your babies are gorgeous.
@@poolboyproductions8039 but a rat isn't even much of an insult- they are incredibly smart and keep up amazing hygiene. They are very lovable and compassionate to!
welcome back to TH-cam!! I've watched your meet my bunnies video probably 3 times now. 💜 can you do a room tour and more on your bunnies, but also your other pets?? 😁💜
Hi. I love your ratties. Can I ask are you treating the two adult bucks for their mycoplasma? I find doxycycline is effective to stop the sneezing and rattling. Otherwise their lungs will get damaged or they may get a secondary infection leading to pneumonia. X
I would keep the smaller cage, never know when u may need it..future quarantine, vet/travel cage etc. My rats don't like the oxbow and I bought a 20lb bag lol. I feed them the supreme science selective which is also a great food and they LOVE it but it gets expensive so I was hoping to do a mix. They just pick around the oxbow tho and will only eat it if I refuse to put more food in. I can only go so long before I give in lol.
Jaimie Lynne Hamilton if you haven’t already, you can cut some plexiglass to add more height to the tray. You’ll be able to add more bedding for burrowing and it’ll be less likely for them to push it out since they’ll have walls
Im going to get some rats from a responsible breeder as soon ass i can save up $266 because though my parents have agreed to pay for the cage and the basics (bedding food water bottle ect) but i have to pay for everything else and i want them to have a very inriching environment so im spennding alot of money (the cage is a double critter nation so it has alot of room so 😅😁😋)
Your cage is actually pretty good but you could improve it by just adding more stuff into their cage, like more hides,toys and hammocks. I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to help.
hey! I've gotten everything I need and am ready to adopt two rats, good big cage, playpen, toys, rat-proofed house, etc. Does anyone know of any good places to adopt healthy rats in oregon?
As you said male rats are calmer and more cuddly my 5 boys were dashing around there free range area full speed. Lol my boy rat tofu actually picked your video, he jumped on my tablet screen making the video change. I mostly end up with crazy boys, not that I mind.
Wow great video!👍 your rats are the cutest😍🥺 I used to have three albino rats! I have some videos of my horses and other pets on my channel if anyone is interested, I would really appreciate it if you took a look💙
Very very cute ur rat Pete looks like my boy Lir anyway great video nice set up but next time u clean I'd suggest put the girls on the bottom the pee more and the boys might have pee dripping into their cage

I followed your insta, mind if I send some updated cage pictures? See if there’s anything else I can add or do :)

8:11 Yeah rats do like 'customise' anything that can be 'customised', whether it be in their cage or not! 😂
I love their names, they’re so adorable🥰🐀
Love the new hair! Looks beautiful with your eyes:)
My Pawfect Family thank you!!
Jaimie Lynne Hamilton so true
I love that TH-cam is recommending me rats.

Can tell you’re a fan of Gilmore Girls😂
i dont know why but i was happy to see i use the same rat food xD I got lazo a white lab rat and a goldie a tan and white rat they are pretty chill
My rats dont appreciate clean. They immediately tear up the fleece. They make me laugh. Your ratties are adorable
Its cool that people enjoy caring for rats,they make great pets. What sucks they don't live all that long. A pet for any age or gender.

My rats love Gerber Puffs. I give them the Organic Fig ones. They love them and the room smells so great when i open the container.
i’ve learned that if you take out the levels and pack the cage to the brim they chew their hammocks way less :)
They are all so cute 🥰😍 l like your hair! 👍🏻

How do you make sure the bedding doesn’t fall out of the cage?
I can’t haha, a mess is inevitable but I vacuum almost daily
