I got a request to do a video about how I clean my rat cage, so here it is! If you have any questions, leave them in the comments! Thanks for watching! Etsy …
I use white vinegar to clean the cage, myself. 🙂 You can get “cleaning
strength” though it is only 1% more acidic. 😛 It doesn’t need to be
rinsed, and it dissipates smell-wise very quickly.
Does your rat cage ever stink up the house? If no than do you use
something special? because back when I had 2 rats, My dad always
complained… I’m thinking it’s maybe cause I use bedding and not fabric.
I have two male rats and they tend to make a huge mess with their food.
They get it all over the level that the food is on and it gets out of the
cage on the floor. Is there a way to get them to stop?
I noticed that you have the Noah’s Arch Boat Hammock in your cage, where
did you get it?! I’ve been looking everywhere, and I can’t find it. Please
help! 🙂
I know this sounds super terrible, but when my ferret passes for whatever
reason, I plan on getting rats. But, I have a ferret nation and the bar
spacing is too big. Help? Can I just put them in another cage until they
are big enough to not fit in the spacing?
From experience, I do find a couple of little rattie hairs on my clothes
sometimes. I think they lose their hair a lot like humans do, but I don’t
know that for sure. As for allergies, my mom and my sister cannot hold them
because they would break out in hives. They do not have breathing trouble
though until they have been around them for a long time. It is very
possible to be allergic to rats, so watch out for that!
I’d love to get a critter nation for my girls eventually, But I don’t have
room in my bedroom for it XD We have too much furniture :L My girls are in
a Rat Manor habitat atm but I only have 2 girls so its seemingly large
enough for them and i let the little one out to run around on my bed (Gaia,
The older one wasn’t handled much and tries to run away :l)
It takes me about 45-60 minutes to clean my FN, and 30-45 minutes to clean
my dorm room cage. Most of that time is spent decorating with hammocks
though! And, of course, I take many play breaks 🙂
They are probably playing. The only time you should be worried is if they
draw blood. The general rule is if there is no blood, don’t interfere. It
is better to let them figure things out on their own.
My Rats cage smells all the time, I keep it clean, I use yesterdays news
and change often. 2 boys a few months old. Also, they hate to be held, how
can I make them feel safe and not want to bite me when held? I love your
vids!
That looks like a lot of work, I recently took in a rat, she was let go and
we’ve found her and taken her in! She’s getting used to us but she’s a
little nervous, she’s been through a lot. 🙂 your videos are helping me
learn, may I ask… How many rats do you have in total??

What do you do with the rats while you vacuum? I thought the noise might
scare them…..

One of my pet rats bites from time to time, should I reprimand or somehow
let her know this is not acceptable ?
