Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / April 2005

Well I got that cage off ebay.

After wondering were the cage was after a week, I called up the courier
company, who stated that they left it at a drop off point as my area was not
covered by them and I had to pick it up, its been their for a few days,
nobody told me about it though!

anyway I got it home and put it together, it has a wire floor and  a catch
tray under it, isn't a wire floor bad, I might buy somekinda solid surface
to put around for them to sit on?

I brought this rodent auto feeder, similar to ones for cats and dogs, which
I thought was cool, a large non leaking water bottle. and a little john
corner litter box.

I put the water bottle on, and noticed it was dripping, so I tool it down
and took the lid off, to find that the whole lid had a split in it.. hope to
take that back. so I got this little $2 I use on this wire cage outside for
when I clean their normal cage out, to find it had a big split in it from
being in the sun and cold...

The rats are a little scared of the whole thing at the moment, because its
so open and they don't have any shelf to hide under.

Hope this litter box thing works out,  I put some of their droppings in
their with some clay kitty litter. maybe they will get the idea.

Ill take a photo of it so you guys have see what it looks like.
