Rats as pets

The first thing we provide is a good accommodation, preferably in a cage for hamsters or guinea pigs. The best thing is not too large, but with enough space to comfortably move your mouse. Of course, we must consider the space between the bars should be small, because otherwise escape our furry friend with ease.
It is necessary to line the bottom of the cage with newspaper or sawdust and we also provide a house of cardboard or a similar place in which the animal can hide to eat and rest.
Do not forget to give the way you can exercise daily, for which we can install a little wheel army or a plastic sphere to tour the house without leaking.
As for food, it is best given special food for mice that you can find at any pet store. Occasionally you can also add seeds and apples, lettuce or carrots. It is also essential to have plenty of water, for which you must install a drinker for rodents.
To prevent parasites, it is important to observe strict hygiene of the cage, for which we regularly change the background material of the cage. It is also necessary to wash and disinfect the cage once a week, making sure to rinse well and remove any chemical moiety that is completely dry when we introduce the mouse into it.
