well, went out and bought a 3' high, 4 tiered cage for the rat pack.
we were using an aquarium but they were rapidly growing out of it. they freaking love the cage. thank god - the damn thing cost $139.00 more than my 1st car.

You'll probably want to seperate the males and females soon...you'd be surprised how early things can take place.,.

we thought we'd maybe try one litter - then keep them seperated after that .. i think we have 1 female and 2 males. when we do seperate them we'll need another female to keep her company

Yeah...they're a social creature.
I have only one female now, and have been trying to get her a friend, but we have periods around here you just can't get them.... Good thing that they're so human friendly, because we'll spend time with her, but another rat would be nice.

well,
i got home yesterday and found the female rat cleaning off a couple of babies. I knew she was preggers so i moved her into the old aquarium one day before - talk about perfect timing. i cant see them clearly - but there looks like about 10 babies. she seems to want out a lot but is still tending to the babies. hopefully they'll all survive and i can get some cool pictures to post

cute rats.
i bought a feeder mouse for a dollar once. his name was bob. he was the fattest one i could find, but he smelt so bad i had to give him away. he stunk up my entire room, along with my hallway, and i bathed him twice a day. made no difference.

i have to post new pics - they're 5 times the size now . and yeah - mice are smellier than rats. i clean the rat cage out once a week, and take it out in the back yard to hose it down. just bought some pet shampoo to give them a bath during the weekly cleaning as well.
