NEW* fancy rats informations FACTS
FANCY RATS AREN'T HAMSTERS but better! i say.
what are fancy rats you say?
Rats are clean, intelligent, affectionate pets that bond to their human companion, far less aggressive towards humans and rival rats, sensitive pets that have feelings, easily taught to come by name and learn variety of tricks
1. life expectancy 2-3 years and beyond
2. mother rats 21-28 days gestation
3. adult bucks(males) usually weigh 400-700g, does(females) around 200-500g
4. they need big cages if many are kept, a hamster cage no matter how 'large' is not suitable for adult rats
5. needs another rat company and should never be kept alone ideally should be kept in groups, keeping two or more bucks or either two does are recommanded
6. they must live indoors, their cage should be site in the busy part of the home as they loves watching humans passing by
7. wire cages are by far the best housing for rats than aquarium cages for rats as ventilation is important (included a sheltered nestbox for a sleeping place) they loves tissue boxes or hammock to sleep on
8. baby rats enjoy playing toys with each other while adult rats prefer to sleep in or on it waiting for other rats or human to play together, toys like hamster, parrot, ferret toys, pipe, large glass jar, old clothes (rats arent interested in wheels)
9. like people, rats are omnivores.. aren't like hamster their diet you could give etc. dog cookies, veggies, grains, fruits, boiled meat or bones, sunflower seeds, wholemeal pasta bread, brown rice, unsweetened cereals.. easily found in your kitchen, even table scraps is okay but aviod sugary or fatty scraps
10. fresh water available at all times!
11. rats are extremely clean, rarely necessary to bathe rats but if needed use shampoos for kittens and dogs not human shampoo
12. putting a large cleaned stone or brick for them to wear down teir nails or you could use a human nail cutter but have styptic powder inhand, incase of bleeding and serious case of blood loss
13. rats do cage marking.. bedding consist of tissues, kitchen towels are better but whenever you chang ethe bedding make sure to leave a few bits of smelly bedding to help to reassure your rats it smells like home or they will keep marking till it becomes smellier
14. rats usually become fertile between 5-12 weeks
15. rats grows rapidly until they reaches 12-14weeks
16. fully weaned from 4-6 weeks
17. baby rats are known as kitten, open eyes between 13-16days but can hear and smell after few days of birth
18.yound rats have teeth that can gnaw from the moment they start eating soild food
19. rats have poor eyesight but senses of hearing and smell are much more sensitive than ours
placing one or both hands under its chest, behind front legs (not to squeeze)
20.handle your rats as much as possible whether they seems to like it or not at first and they will soon enjoy your company
21.one good way of getting your rats used to you is let them ride around the house on your shoulder or inside your sweater
22.needs at least an hours playtime outside their cage everyday
23. cage not placed direct to sunlight, humid weather like Singapore can cause dehydration, sometimes place a dog/cat sized bowl of cool water with iced cubes or iced vegetables or placed a fan near its cage
Red Discharge Around Eyes And/or Nose.!
do not worry its a symptom of distress. stained red are the rats mucus called porphyrin. discharge maybe present if your rat is ill or simply stress from moving to a new house
but if it continues for few days consult a vet
Head-weaving:
do not worry too if it move its head from side to side, it just helps the rat to see better when they look at stuff blury
but if the rat holds its head to one side permanently, this can be caused by inner ear infection or a brain tumour hence it needs urgent veterinary attention!
NEVER.!
handle rats by its tail
live on their own! two rats are much happier and live longer than single rats and they're many times more interesting to watch.
rats can suffer greatly if not given enough attention
too much corns maybe harmful
couldn't keep a pet dog? why not say yes to rats?
ever wanting a cool and unique pets that your friends don't have
