I have 4 little ratties now ::YIPPE::: . One thing I'm gonna have to say is, make sure they are old enough to be away from there parents. I have 2 right now that aren't and have to go in my room every 2 hours and get them fresh milk, I would give them more but then they bath in it and smell like milk LOL. Its not that bad but they need alot of extra care then that of a little bit older rat. Don't get me wrong I love my babies! My hardest chalenge with Melony and Hope (my older rats) is they don't like toys, so they get bored easily. I have givin them practicly everything I and every website on the web can think of and none of them are fun for them. They love is tissue paper. Its funny to watch though cause they drag it around and then pick up in there mouth and put it on things, step back, look at it, and decid it needs to go somewhere else. LOL. Right now my rats have a sock hanging from there cage and I cought them playing with it . They like Stuffed animals. Something they can brutly pull apart and kill , they like the stuffing, makes a big mess, but o well. Thats about all they like. i am in the process of buying a bigger cage. If your going to get a rat get 2 rats. Rats do not do well alone. Even if you have two they still will bond with you. Go to a breeder if you can. They have quilty rats, and they sure are pretty and well tempered, the rats, not the breeder. Lab Blocks are better to feed then a seed mix, although I mix mine up and give them lab blocks and seed mix.

Well anything else ya wanna know just tell me. I'll be more then happy to help. And sorry if I gabed to long.
