Hi everybody! I was wondering if rats like runnning on wheels? Do they need to have one?

Thanks

I bought one for mine, but Mine has never used it.

I don't know if all rats are like that, but mine don't even get on the thing. lol

You have to but a wheel made specially for rats, here they are expensive. It has to be made for rats because their tails or feet get caught in them and they could break. A rat wheel looks just like a normal wheel, but there is no spaces in between the bars. Here is a pic of one.

Most rats don't enjoy wheels -- they will just sleep and pee in it. There are the few who do like wheels though, so make sure that if you buy one, keep the receipt just incase.
