How To Care For Pet Rats
Like 1 Dislike 0 Published on 22 Mar 2010
Video I made for people who are thinking of having pet rats.. I also added some treats and homemade toy ideas. :)
Oh, I forgot to add in a bit and red discharge, so I made a separate video, and posted it as the video response. :)
HOMEMADE TOYS:
*Rope: Take a cloth or old t-shirt etc, cut into three strips and simply plait.. you can add in treats in after, or whilst your plaiting.. if you want a thicker rope you could always make three little ropes then plait them together or something? :)
*Tunnels: Can make tunnels out of lots of different things.. for example, pringles, remove lid, cut out bottom half and clean..
*Pass the parcel: wrap a yoghurt drop (or any other small treat) in a small piece of paper/paper towel, add another treat and wrap up again.. etc..

TREATS:
Some more treat ideas..
*Boiled egg (cold)
*Fresh cooked chicken - make sure it's cold (no breadcrumbs/batter etc)
*Cooled cooked pasta
*Egg Box Delights: take a clean empty egg box, and fill each compartment with a small amount of food (veg, pasta, chicken, fruit, broken biscuits..) and close lid and give to rats.
*Birthday cake: a small low fat banana cake, natural yoghurt for 'icing' sprinkled with sunflower seeds.
Hope this helps :)
