    A few rat questions...

    I am thinking about breeding rats and also maybe having them as pets. I have a few questions not mentioned in care sheets.

    1. Can i feed a Mazuri rat lab block as a staple diet? I will give them fruits and veggies every once in a while but will that work if i dont want to give them fruits and veggies? Also, do i have to freeze the lab block?

    2. What size cage would work for 2 adult rats? (im thinkin the wire/mesh cages not aquariums)

    3. Do i just get the rats from a pet store like petsmart?

    4. What kind of accessories do they need(hides?, chew stuff?)

    thats all the qs so far. if anyone has any advice let me know

    Re: A few rat questions...

    !. Yes you can feed just the lab block. Or even dog food. No you dont have to freeze it
    2 I would use tubs from home depot easier to clean.
    3. You can get from them but they are usually cheaper if you buy feeder rats at other pet store.
    4. They dont really need any thing except maybe some thing to chew.
