Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / December 2004Xmas gifts
I thought of a good design for rattie pouches but I'm just no good with sewing machines. Instead, I bought the material (wooly on one side and fleecy on the other) and my design to a seamstress and she put together the perfect rattie pouch. I also had a matching 18"x18" blanket made. It's perfect for carrying sick ratties with us all over the house and the long neck strap allows for the pouch to be put on our side so our hands are free and the Velcro strap around our waist makes it that much more secure. I had a green one made for my mom, a violet one for my sister and a burgundy one for me. In all, each pouch with blanket cost about $40 each set. It was one of the best Xmas presents!!

They have all the best features that we were talking about before that would be good for a rat pouch to have (the waist strap, etc.). Definitely best to design and commission your own, eh? And such a good idea for a sick rattie, too. Some steam-room sessions with hot showers in the bathroom and making sure that Momo stays good and warm seem to be definite contributing factors in him continuing to improve (along with adding liquid Baytril, which I actually *do* think is more effective than the crushed-up tablets, to the azithromycin regimen). It's really amazing how well he's doing considering how sick he was, even sicker than his brother at one point. So here's to everybody and your ratties staying nice and warm. :) SignatureMariette http://community.webshots.com/user/wabewawa (wabewawa61-at-earthlink-dot-net) >>I thought of a good design for rattie pouches but I'm just no good with >>sewing machines.

I'd love to have a spare room where I could build a set-up like that and keep it set up so the ratties could play there everyday. Did you get the pipes from a DIY store or similar?

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Tracey Not familiar with DIY but if you mean like a hardware store, that's where I got them. BTW, I too would like a rattie room, currently, my rats and their playground have taken over my dining room, much to my hubby's chagrin. lol SignatureJoanne Mom to 10 rats http://community.webshots.com/user/joanneb70 Cool Playground Joanne! I see you got one of those Plastic interlocking houses, you know what I'm talking about don't you? I have been waiting for them to come down in price a bit more before I buy one. I think they are great! I use some of those pvc tubes in my cages...but what a great Idea! take care, Sue >>> I've also added pics of my rattie playground which I put together on >>> Christmas day for my rats.

I'll have to check out the plumbing section next time I'm in one! Tracey |
