Sweet potato babies

Hi there! This is a rat blog. I have rats and they are my children! Their names are: Kyle, Chicory, Webbie, and Lena Past rats include: Echo, Rhyme, Percy, Apollo, Magnus, Dot, Oswald, Elliot, Mario, Luigi, Luke, Clive, Froze, Alice, Abby, Lacie, Pearl, Stanley, Gilbert, Cho, and Mitzy

Are you near Utah or Colorado? I might know someone in either state who would take them but I'll have to ask them both to make sure;; I totally understand taking a rat break, and good luck!

:') I am not! midwest in this case is the part of the US that is not west at all but we still call it midwest for some reason (indiana/ohio/michigan area)

i really appreciate this tho! honestly i'm still not sure about my decision here but people taking me seriously feels nice! maybe i can figure this out in a way that doesn't suck.

i know i don't post here anymore but like. does anyone that i could trust happen to live in the US midwest and want 3 rats

[ratatoes]

ok yeah this is a semi-serious post. Mostly because i'm panicking in advance about only having a solo rat left

Weirdos

[korattata]

God its sooooo funny when youre doing rat intros and rats that dont normally care to hang out with you will come over and stick to you like glue bc they dont want to be near those other guys

[korattata]

Lena that i mentioned in the tags & Chicory's solution to this problem

[korattata]

I specifically put this ledge very low for easy Kyle access, which worked! But then he also decided to show off that no, he can still go wherever he wants, by making his way up to the ceiling orb later

[korattata]

It's stupid

[ratatoes]

Ignore the blurryness and how much of a mess they made this shelf and look at Chicory yawn before she was all the way out of the hammock

Rat intros right now is currently just me trying to telepathically tell the oldest that she's allowed to kick the babies' asses

hello it is me again that person that only ever logs into their tumblr to ask questions

People with critter nation cages!!! Does anyone have recommendations for getting a replacement for the pans?

:’) i can only find them listed online for like 34 dollars for the bottom one and 50-something on the top one, (and in advance, no i do not want to get metal ones because i cannot stand the sound of metal scraping against metal and just wouldn’t be able to clean the cage at all of the pans are metal! plus i’m using fleece and those are for paper bedding)

[charlysrats]

I found the top one for $36 and bottom for $30 on ferret.com plus there is a banner at the top of the page about 25% off? I didn’t investigate that further though.

Alternatively you could always use those cement mixing pans that are so popular.

OR since you are using fleece and im guessing wrapping or clipping the fabric on the pans you could just DIY some from corrugated plastic super easy. If I remember right they actually come in critter nation sized sheets so you would only need to alter the top half one to make the opening. You can pick it up at home depot/lowes or a sign shop.

[ratatoes]

thank you SO much i don’t know why i didn’t think to search for the ferret nation stuff even tho i know it’s the same size! :’D Still a little expensive but a lot less so for the top one and this looks actually legit unlike the listing i found on amazon!! i briefly considered the diy route tbh but i’m SO paranoid about stuff being pet safe and the new babies i have are already proving to be chewers....
