I love blues and siamese. My best breeding pair are siamese.Originally Posted by Kinra
Thanks everyone. I ordered a hammock online and it should be here Wednesday.
I will look into getting another cage setup for the male. I've already been thinking about looking for a couple of blues or siameses soon. These guys are awesome and I wish I had some as a kid, hamsters and gerbils have nothing on these guys.
The ramps do have some small gripes but I move the levels down so they weren't as steep. There is also an igloo in there that I took out for the picture. If you look at the first picture you can see it at the bottom. I also took out the very large wheel that was in there, should I put it back in or will they get enough exercise running up and down the ramps and when I take them out?
I'm also going to pick up some single level cages soon as maternity cages so the babies won't get trampled.
Edit:
Also does anyone know what they would be called? I was told they were dumbo rats and if I understand color/pattern names they are also call hooded right?
Keeping the wheel in the cage won't hurt. Your rats will probably appreciate it. Mine are in theirs constantly. Just make sure it's the right size for them.
Picking up a single level maternity cage is a good idea. Wouldn't want babies falling off the levels. haha
Chocolate is an agouti hooded dumbo. Vanilla may be champagne/fawn variegated dumbo. (variegated is like hooded, but instead of a linear marking along the spine, will have patches)
