Yesterday I adopted a rat from a friend who works too much to take care of him properly. His name is Francis, isn't he adorable?.
When I first got Francis home, I realized that he was in pretty bad shape, both mentally and physically.
Physically, he is fat (look at that belly), he didn't come with a wheel, or any kind of exercise other than running around in his small cage. He was being fed the wrong kind of food, all around he was in a bad situation.
Mentally, he has been moping around a lot, and I think he is lonely. Rats are very social creatures, and they thrive when they have cagemates. Apparently, Francis used to have a brother, but his brother died a few months ago. I would love to get Francis a new friend, but the cage is simply not big enough for two rats.
I guess what I'm saying is, you can make both mine and Francis's dream come true by getting us this cage. He would have plenty of room to move around in, plenty of room to add a cagemate for him, and I would have all the room I need to put a wheel in his cage (which there is barely enough room for now), and spoil him with toys!
If we win the raffle instead, I would love for Francis to have a wheel, there is a very nice one on my WL
C'mon...gimme a break, you know you both look amazing everyday!
When I boarded my girl rats at Andy's all four of them fit fine in that cage. Some stuff I'd recommend are get tons of Lava ledges so they can have different heights in the cage. They have Big ones and Small ones. The small ones are only available online now I think. My girls love to hop from one to another plus it will help file down their nails and teeth. I currently have 10 big ones and 8 small ones in my 2 cages. A hammock is great but you can also put a space pod in there too as another place to sleep or chill. I just got one for my girls but I'm waiting for a hammock to be chewed down before putting it in there. I also got The Bandit Bridge and my girls love that too. I mainly use it as a safety net in case they fall off one of the ledges. I'd rather have them land on a soft thing than the igloo or hard cage bottom. Basically I'm cutting the fall in half.
Also if you still want to get another cage I recommend The Rat Manor I have it and my girls LOVE it! It's big enough for 4 rats so 3 would fit perfectly plus it has a metal bottom so they can't chew holes in it. Other than that you seem to be on the right track. Just spend a lot of time with them and get them used to you kinda like a re-introduction to humans and they should turn out fine. They may have been scared of the kids and all the noise but it sounds like they should perk up to you in no time after they get used to their new surroundings. Good luck and keep us posted!
