Re: This is how my rats live
Looks like a ratty sort of utopia to me! Very nice!
And I think PET rat threads can go into the small mammal forum if you like. :yes:
Re: This is how my rats live
I'm coming over for lunch :)
Is that rat smiling?
Re: This is how my rats live
Very nice! I get so excited when I see other people on this forum to keep rats in things other than cat litter pans.
I think most people who keep rats for pets approve of giving them a variety of human foods (provided it's not junk foods).
I do something similiar to what you're doing for my pet rats, only I don't have the space in the fridge to keep their food in little dishes. I combine mostly leafy greens, veggies and some fruits and blend them into a slurry and then freeze it into small portions. I then defrost it in the morning and serve it to them over their morning oatmeal. I also give them some of whatever I'm eating for dinner that night, provided it's nothing on the 'forbidden food' list.
Don't know if you're on it or not, but www.goosemoose.com is a nice forum for pet rats.
Re: This is how my rats live
Your rats have a nicer place to live in than where I currently reside. :)
Re: This is how my rats live
I want to come back in my next life as one of your rats! :D
Do you ever offer them uncooked pasta? Mine LOVE nibbling at the hard pasta.
Re: This is how my rats live
Thanks for all the positive feed back guys. I have offered uncooked pasta before, but they didn't like it. They LOVE cooked pasta, though. I haven't been on that rat forum yet. It's impossible to find a good pet rat forum so I'll give that one a look. :)
Re: This is how my rats live
"Mansion" was a very, very apt description! I had two pet fancy rats too, but they passed on. That was high school, back in the day. *wistful sigh.*
Re: This is how my rats live
Very cool. I think they are eatting better than me at the moment. lol.
Re: This is how my rats live
Nice. :gj: I have a similar set up but mine is homemade. They are definately eating better than I am.
