My grown girls loved it and as the younger rats aged up, they loved it too.

​

I just lost my final rat last week and the day before she died I saw her taking a leisure stroll on it. She loved the wheel.

I would give you the old wheel if I could, I think I bought this one? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002AS956/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

But get a bigger one if you can swing it. Especially if you have boys. (I always had girls and they were usually on the smaller side.)

Carefresh should be fine! :) And hopefully the grate keeps the majority of the mess in, but it's so floofy and fun to play with. Again, it should be fine, just a little more to pick off before throwing it in the wash.

Scraps and lots of toys to chew and tear up are lots of fun! It can also be cheap. Dig boxes and wood chews and cardboard mailing tubes are all fun toys for rats. Here's a great site for ideas: http://www.dapper.com.au/toys.htm

Yay learning on a sewing machine! :D That's awesome that you're willing to learn on it. And the silent spinner is a bit pricey, yes... my Run-Around wheel was around $16, but my girls learned to run on the Comfort Wheel and are used to having a closed-in space, so they prefer the Comfort Wheel more. You can always pick one up at a physical pet store, as well, and clean it and return it if they don't like it (I know.. I'd feel guilty about it, but if it's in new condition, I don't think it's a bad thing to do). Ask at the rescue (if they ever call you, dang it!) if the rats are used to wheels already. Even if they're not it's worth a shot, because it's a lot of fun!

Yeah, vinegar is good for cleaning out flat surfaces, and you can always scrub with a rag for stubborn stains. But you'll be using fleece, which absorbs most of the mess! If your husband is allergic to bleach and you use vinegar already, you're good! :D

Oof, I would give them a call. Rescues are probably inundated with stuff to do, so they may have been to busy to reply. How many rats are you planning to take in? Will they be older, or babies? Male or female? (Sorry for being nosy; I'm excited for you!) Good on you for adopting from a rescue, BTW!! You're a hero! Don't be discouraged if your rats are a little flighty at first, or if they don't explore their new digs right away, especially if they were rescued from a not-so-great situation and are older. They'll open up with all the love and care you're already giving them!

That's too bad. This is about as close I can find to the ones I used. If you can't find one, plastic will also work but will need to be cleaned more often. You may also be able to weave some jute twine through the bars of your wheel to close the gaps.

I have this and it works well for my smallest and largest ratties. I'd just go with the 12", it will put less curve and pressure on their backs. I just put a little olive oil on the axis and it's silent.
