Okay so I let free the field mouse and I bought what Jack's aquarium and pets calls a small rat. I asked the guys how old he thought she was he sad a few weeks but I don't know if I can believe him considering that he couldn't even tell a boy from a girl and I could tell that Ev-ey was a girl. lol

anyways I drilled holes in a 41qt serilite tub. I wanted to make sure the setup was okay. So heres what I got:

*41qt (latched) sterilite tub with holes drilled in
* carefresh substrate
* water bottle
*food bowl with store bought food till I gather all the food in the recipe found on here
* A hide thing (I'm think I might take that out.)

I know pictures will help so here:










I want to go back and get another rat today because I know they get lonely. So should I get a male or female? I might get a male off my friend in a couple of weeks when it gets weened (just a thought) so any thoughts or restictions?
