    Re: Man this stuff is just disturbing...

    Don't get me wrong I treat them with the best of care usually give them some whole wheat bread and water...but I still don't like them only do it to make sure my guy gets a healthy meal. I understand they are animals, but I can't think of 5 animals in the entire world that eat EVERYTHING non stop...from my experience they are always eating something from box, to food, to mulch, to plants to just about anything that is in front of them and if not eating then they are sleeping.

    Just didnt understand them...they have to reduce teeth size? never knew that.

    From AshleyB's thread...why it is cloth they must know their is no nutritional value in that.

    Rodents have teeth that do not stop growing so they must chew in order to keep those teeth worn back. That's how they were designed. That rat is likely making a nest with some material. Chewing is not always about eating.

    You mean chew right? Rats only eat food, everything else gets chewed.

    For what it's worth ...

    Rabbits, goats, beavers, squirrels, and even puppies are five animals off the top of my head the chew as much (if not more than) rats ... just sayin.
