food

I am a first time rat owner. Ive had my girls for about a month now. I have a couple of questions that Im hoping someone can answer for me. 1. This is the cage my rats are in They always pee on the third level of the cage and as a result my room always stinks. Even if I wipe that level down...

i know this sounds really weird but anyways, I have 8 rats atm and I’ve always fed them oxbow essentials rat food I always bought the small 3lb bags till one day I saw on amazon a 20lb bag so I got that cuz i go through the 3lb bags sooo fast. Ever since I got the 20lb bag my rats have been...

My two 8 m/o rats have always hated their rat blocks, at this point I’ve must have tried at least 6 or so brands. I’ve realised that if I soak the blocks (I’m currently using Burgess, but I actually just ordered some Beaphar+ ones which I haven’t tried) they tend to pick at it and eat bits of...

I have another silly newbie question...almost all of the gazillion things I've read say that I should freeze their food for 24 hours to make sure any parasites die. My problem is that I don't want to have nothing for them to eat while I'm "cleaning" their food. I know that when we bring...

I've started thinking about having rats again, but I live in Europe now and rat care is vastly different here, it's especially behind when it comes to diet (most care pages recommend sunflower seeds and corn as a daily part of their diet!) I've searched the web for something that's similar to...
