Rat Care Sheet

 

 

 

Behavior:  Rats are very smart and make great pets and they can be taught to do tricks. They need lots of exercise and are pretty clean too.

 

Handling:  Always pick your Rat up with both hands. Never pick them up by their tail.

 

Housing:  A large aquarium is best for them so they can have plenty of room to play. Avoid wire cages.

 

Bedding:  CareFresh Bedding cuts the odor down. Another alternative is Alfalfa Pellets.

 

Training:  Rats can be taught to be Potty Trained. If you put a small litter box in the corner of their cage,  they most likely will start using it.

 

Toys:  Climbing Toys, Exercise Wheels, Tubes Chew Toys.

 

Diet:  Rodent Blocks and Fresh Fruits and Veggies.

 

Water:  Must have fresh water everyday.
