Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / November 2004Dirty Stash
Just cleaned out a disgusting hidden treasure stash that our darlings had! There were old nuts, rotten chicken wings, curtain hooks, seeds, a dried up and greenish tangerine, a chewed up tampon and a few chewed socks encrusted with dried urine. Oh the joys of it all!! SNIP > Oh the joys of it all!! Indeed all rats have an inner "Pack Rat" that pushes them to accumulate "Treasures". That's why my boys bet a house cleaning EVER week. Cuts down on the mess...yeah right I've a cage full of males. LOL...what haven't we marked today gentlemen?

LOL...what haven't we marked > today gentlemen? Oh this was even better it was under my bed!! SNIP > Oh this was even better it was under my bed!! Now that is a bit more vexing. Free range is nice to a point, that point being when you realize that you didn't "rat proof" as well as you thought you did. I feel blessed that I don't need to keep the cage closed or locked, EVER. Muc&LUC will climb all over the cage and the table it sits on...but except for the occasional slip never leave the table. With the new boys I'll have to keep the doors closed for a week or three. That is until they learn to "stay home" the bedroom is very rat proof when the closets are closed.

Yeah it's working out so far, we had one cable chewed through and several items of clothing but they sit at the door and look pitiful if they are put back in their house. It can get annoying in the night also when they bounce up and down on your head to wake you up. Fortunately they are good girls mostly. Your stash story has made my day!!!! I had one little darling that had a stash of old bills, tossed receipts, envelopes, walnuts, saved treats, ball with a bell in it, -in fact, yesterday I came home from work to find that one of my boys pulled the bottom of a sheer window panel into his cage and was cozily sleeping on it. I don't know how he did it, but he did... Thanks for the story -it made my day!!!! > Just cleaned out a disgusting hidden treasure stash that our darlings had! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Oh the joys of it all!! > Your stash story has made my day!!!!
