That was several years ago, and I now have a whole new batch of rats. But I remember all the rats I've ever had with the same love I had for them when they were with me. I'm looking foward to making lots of new friends who share my love for rats. Members are encouraged to send in letters, stories, poems, drawings, photos, questions, and suggestions. You can choose from wire cages or aquariums, or a combination of the two, stacked or joined with tubes.
Most rats enjoy an exercise wheel, but hamster wheels are too small.
It's easy to build your own wheel or you can order one from the Rat-alog. A wire cage provides much better ventilation than an aquarium. Or guards cut from Plexiglas or acrylic can be placed around the cage. Cages with a solid bottom instead of wire are safer for ratty feet. Because rats climb, the sides as well as elevated floors and ramps are dangerous.
