Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / August 2007Do your rats...?
Do your rats re-arrange their cage on a daily basis? I notice every time i wake up they have moved things around, turned their huts upside down. It's like they are experts of Feng Shui. Also, do any of your rats insist on going into your shirt? Whenever i get Scoot out, I cant get him out of my shirt. Its imposible. He just goes right back. So.. do your rats have any odd things they do? With all the Rats I have had I can safely say their idea of housing arrangements have never been the same as ours. Newsprint on the floors will be confetti by morning.. Hammocks will be in ribbons, food evenly distributed throughout their house. :)) My boys have always prided themselves on looking like they live in the middle of a Tornado :)) not to mention the gross stockpile of half eaten foods ACK !!

Signaturehttp://community.webshots.com/user/ollieogg I can't say that the boys do much ratovation in thier house, possibly due to the levels in it. I have one shelf specifially left alone for them to do whatever on though. I just toss whatever I think might interest them in there and leave them to it. Today I plan to clean it out and start again. I hope they will forgive me. On the other hand, they LOVE to ratovate the top of thier house. I keep their washed bedding and hats up there and they are foreever climbing up and playing in it. As soon as it gets into the house though...forgot it. Maybe it gets boring when it goes in eh? Christmas...well, she is a shredder. Doesn't move boxes/houses/nests around, but is quite happy to chew up cloth or paper to make nests in one or other of her boxes. Sometimes to the extent that she moves her nest around every night. Boredom? M&m > With all the Rats I have had I can safely say their idea of housing > arrangements have never been the same as ours.

Blankets have all kinds of holes, washcloths are crazy torn up. They dont do anything with it though, I think its just the prize of seeing how messed up it can get. > Do your rats re-arrange their cage on a daily basis?

My rats have shoeboxes for huts and they move them almost on a daily basis. And although I cut one door into the box, they insist on having 2 or 3. And once upon a time, Pinkie insisted on taking down the hammock and using it for nesting material. > Do your rats re-arrange their cage on a daily basis?

Oh ya, my rats love to rearrange their cage. It's all part of keeping them motivated and stimulated. A busy mind is a healthy mind. And the shirt divers are my favourite. ;) SignatureJoanne The Rat Shack www.jorats.com I think that Scoot running into my shirt means that he finds my sent as a safe sent, which makes me feel special. I love it when he does it, dispite all the scratches that result of it. |
