How take care to your rats
The rats is rodents myomorpha from genus Rattus, this pertain family Muridae, These can reach 46 cm in long (depending of species).
This genus contain around of 56 to 65 species, mostly from Asia origin.
the past year I was got my two first rats (from lineage sprague dawley), both are female. At the beginning I did not know how take care of to my new pets, because never I was have nothing kind of rodent, only cats, dog, and birds. So in this blog, I will give tips for take care of this pets.
How many rats?:
The rats are social animals, if your have only one rat's, you should play quite with the purpose of that your pet does not stress, but if your have two or more, but if you have two or more, they will be able preen themselves. This does not mean that you not should play with your pets.
Cage:Let's hope so that the cage is sufficiently big for that the rats not mood imprisoned. These cages can be made of wood, plastic, glass and metal, but you remember that the walls should be smooth, because to rats love gnaw.
This cage should be enough height, for that the rats not escape, or this should have cover.
Occasionally you should release to the rats, but you have to be careful.
Implements:
House for rats, I advise using cardboard boxes and change the boxe when the rats will break itDrinking fountain for rats.
Egg boxes for that the rats gnaw.
Recycled paper chip, the chip of wood can cause respiratory illness in the rats.
Others...
Food:
The rats are omnivores, it can eat: lentlis, rice, pasta, eggs and meat cooked, wheat seeds, watermelon, aple, banana, peach, cooked green vegetable etc. But the rats not eat cheese, this is a myth.
I hope I've been helpful :)
