Rat fans - pet help request

Recommended Posts

Hi, I've recently got a pair of female rats for my kids. They're young and friendly creatures, and very good fun. But I'm hoping to find someone who might be up for looking after them on occasion, when we're away on holidays. Someone who doesn't have a cat or dog, but who likes animals. Perhaps someone who's thinking of getting a pet for themselves or their kids, but wants to get more of a sense about what that would involve. Or someone who doesn't want the commitment of having a pet long-term, but wants to be a part-time pet person? Our ratties live in a large-ish cage (84cm high, 93cm long, 68cm deep), and don't need that much looking after -- just checking food and water, and any social interaction / calm handling would also be welcome. On longer stays of over a week, it might involve changing their bedding, but I'd provide everything, and the cage has deep trays, so is pretty easy to clean. If you're able to help, or think you might be but would like to know more, please drop me a line! Cheers, Danny

    • Thanks all.  What a shame about the hospice guys.  Will have a look at pines and needles. 😀 
    • Pickup your dogs shit off the street, it's so simple. Don't own a dog if you cannot do this basic service. Pathetic. Cleaning my shoes of dog shit for the 2nd time this month. What's going on? 
    • Hi SpringTime, I completely understand the concern for protecting birds, but using bells on cats is a bit more complicated. While they may reduce hunting success, they're not always effective & can cause stress for some cats, who are highly sensitive to sound. A better solution is to ensure cats are kept indoors during peak bird activity & providing plenty of enrichment at home to satisfy their hunting instincts. There's a terrible misconception that cats do not require as much mental & physical enrichment as dogs do. But they do, if not more so.
    • But we can train them to kill the foreign invaders, green sqwaky things, and the rats with feathers
