Like my facebook page : / ratgirl44 Morning: Spot clean make sure they have lab blocks Afternoon: Say Hi to sleeping ratties! Evening: Play time and feeding time
"She knows when it's dinnertime. She's a fatass." I almost choked from laughing so hard. Wasn't expecting that commentary. Thank you for your videos! It's so wonderful to see people who truly care for their pets as they should. :')
Spikey Pets really!? I thought I was the only who did that. I fall asleep better when I'm in my room with my girlies and I can just move my hand and touch their cage so they're super close and I listen falling asleep to them eating and playing
Right? I keep my rats in my room and let them sleep during the day so I can play with them in the evening and listen to them play while I’m trying to sleep It’s comforting
There is a small plush cat toy that has a motion controlled electronic squeaker/chirper inside. I put one inside my gerbils cage. When he is active and playing, I can hear chirps as he runs across the toy. Makes me feel good.
I just got my rats last week and I didn't know you have to feed them protein! Thank you! I will make sure they get it 3-4 times a week! They do get fresh fruits and veggies every morning and night along with a good rat food.
I LIKE the noise they make at night. It tells me I have happy, healthy rats. It comforts me and never bothers me. Their cage is right next to my bed. They can step right on to my comforter when I open their cage door.
Tips: ALWAYS get litter boxes that have a grate. I always get a minimum of TWO, and sometimes three litter boxes. It pays off. My main litter box is next to where they sleep and is huge galvanized metal with a galvanized grate.
my rats live in my garage in a gaint playground me and my dad make out of cardboard and wood- we make a new one every 2 weeks. my dad even bought a mini air conditioner
Now that's what I call "Rat Heaven", Love the cage, you take very good care of your rats, Letting my Niece Lexi watch this video so she can take proper care of her rat "Lola". :)
Your such a good mum! I grew up with rats and have had rats of my own as an adult for many, many years now, and I c o n s t a n t l y see people who don't understand what it means to have pets, especially with smaller animals like rats, and it just kills me. It's so noce to see someone who really takes care of her rats, and gives them the life that lets them live up to their full potential. You have five beautiful girls
Peachieliciuos Thank you very much. I also get frustrated with people! Just because its a "pocket pet" doesnt mean that it needs less care. Some small animals are very high maintenance !
Thanks ratgirl44. I have enjoyed your videos. I've learned a lot about my two rats. I saved from a breeder. I have a rat named stewart that looked just like your uno. I'm sorry he passed. thank you for what you do. it's help me take better care of my babies. Phil and stewart are there names. thanks girlgirl.
A lot of people do keep rats in their room. They dont smell if you take care of them properly however they are up and about at night. So that might keep you awake while your trying to sleep.
liked and subscribed!!!💕 😊 this is the very first video I've watched on your channel and I already love your channel!!!I'm looking at getting rats soon (yes I'm getting two) and I've been doing lots of research and getting different opinions from everybody. My friend has a rat and I fell IN LOVE with her. They are so adorable and loving! I will be watching more of your videos for help and advice because I want to have happy, healthy little mousies!!!😊💕🐀🐁🐭
@@aaaaamyy yep same here! I keep a plastic cereal box with cheerios in my "rat box" by their cage. When I pick up that cereal box they come running lol. They are pretty good about coming when I call them but when that fails the cereal box ALWAYS works!
I run my finger across the bars of the cage and my boys come running. I use the same method for when they are in the cage whilst giving them treats, therefore they associate the sound with yum yums.
so my sister and I have our ratties in are room and it funny because at first when we first got them my sister would be so upset because she couldn't sleep with them drinking their water and playing etc... now 3 months later she cant sleep without the noise lol
No she is not old she just has something wrong with her back legs. We think its a birth defect because she has been like that since we got her at 4 weeks old.
Hi ratgirl44 I love your videos and I just subscribe to you! I really want to get rats and I really like your how to use fleece for rats video anyway I like this rat daily care video so thanks!
Thanks! Oh, I forgot about the time of my awakening, I'm in high school still. Was waking up at 5, though we did move- I'll probably be a bit lazy to keep that up so early, so I suppose it depends when I have to catch the bus. Thank you though!
How quickly do you personally go through a bag of Oxbow? I'll obviously be feeding veggies, etc., however for two rats I'm trying to decide if a 3 or 10 pound bag would be more cost friendly.
You have the best looking rats I think I've ever seen. Awesome Cage. Great video thank you. Like the fleece idea with the clips I see what you did there. Good idea. I suppose you get that fleece at just about any fabric store for not a whole lot of money?
I was getting a pet rat and right now I can only afford a rat. Will that rat go into depression if it's alone? Let me know. And what time do you feed them. Also how many times a week do you clean the fabric?
Its really up to you. Boys are known to be cuddle bugs and not as active as females. However I have known some pretty active males and some cuddly females. Male can smell a bit more since they are markers. I just prefer females :-)
they eat only once a day? also, their nutrition must contain so much or the store designated rat food is sufficient? I am about to adopt some and i would like some advice :) thanks
how much protein should you give them a day? I didnt realize that was important because some of my girls already look plump off of free range lab blocks
+Sydney Long I think it's 3 times a week until they're 4 months old, then 2 until 7 months and 1 time until they're a year old and than it's just occasionally. But it's better to ask someone else, I'm not an expert! Rats are omnivores, they can eat a lot of stuff :)
Hey! So I just got 2 rats, a momma and baby. What cage size do you recommend? And what kind of foods do you usually feed them? What kind of toys do they like
RatGirl44 hi I have a question so you give your rats protein 3-4 times a week what else do you give them for protein besides the scrambled eggs??? And another question what is in their salad that you give them???? And so you only have to feed them once a day so its at night time right?? What is in their nut mix?? So sorry so many questions but I would like to know for my pet rats thank you hope to hear from you soon :):):)
Hi there! I used to have pet rats when I was 7 and 8 years later I've decided to take care of them again. Previously all the rats I've owned have grown tumors. I understand that this is very common in female rats but its still very sad to watch your little friend get sick. I was wondering what your experience with tumors has been and whether you recommend neutering rats? I just can't afford getting the tumors removed.
Ruth Puglisi I am also having that same problem. I am doing some research and diet and calorie intake seem to play a big part alone with genetics. I am going to try and reduce the amount of food I leave out for them and see if that helps. I only have 1 neutered male. Its the females that seems to have the tumor problems. The surgery to get them spayed is very expensive in my area.
Hi, i am a noon, but in my research to chose a male or female, I kept reading that if you spay your female, the cancer/tumor chances go down to 4%. This is something I've has to consider because, unless I get more than 2 (same sex couple) or a different sex, I won't neuter.
+Hi. My name is [ Blurry Face ] I do not feed them in the morning, they usually have lab blocks still in the bowl. I feed them fresh veggies every night and extra protein a few times a week while they are young. Once they get older I feed the protein only about once a week.
Her dog was never seen again.
blackpyramid omg
"She knows when it's dinnertime. She's a fatass." I almost choked from laughing so hard. Wasn't expecting that commentary. Thank you for your videos! It's so wonderful to see people who truly care for their pets as they should. :')
I almost died
F.W. M. It's so much funnier bc that rat really is chubby!!!
F.W. M. SAME 😂
i replayed it too ! 😂😂😂 it was hilarious !!
LUCA CERVENKA same lol
I love having my nocturnal and crepuscular pets in my room, it really helps me to relax and sleep to hear them playing and eating
Spikey Pets thats adorable
Spikey Pets really!? I thought I was the only who did that. I fall asleep better when I'm in my room with my girlies and I can just move my hand and touch their cage so they're super close and I listen falling asleep to them eating and playing
I thought that was only me
They stop me from being sad at night
Right? I keep my rats in my room and let them sleep during the day so I can play with them in the evening and listen to them play while I’m trying to sleep
It’s comforting
Oh my god when I saw the dog I was like OMG SHE HAS A GOAT NO FAIR
I thought it was a calf.
SAME
These rats have a better diet than me
The white and black one? Is so cute and fat. Cutest rat I've ever seen
"She knows when it's dinner time. She's a fat ass"
Sounds like my Clair. So funny.
There is a small plush cat toy that has a motion controlled electronic squeaker/chirper inside.
I put one inside my gerbils cage. When he is active and playing, I can hear chirps as he runs across the toy. Makes me feel good.
You are dirty man

Trouble O'Hara Just while they are babies
Trouble O'Hara i put cashews in my rats food. i make it myself

Great cinematography! Love them!

Can you do a video on free roaming time? How to get them to come back? How to encourage to come out for free time?
Thank you you.
I just make a squeaking sound and my rat with come back to me.
Whenever I wobble my rats' food bag they come running haha. Food is usually the best incentive for them!

Yea they probably would I just don't have the time. I already get up at 5am for work.They get plenty of floor time in the evening though.

No she is not old she just has something wrong with her back legs. We think its a birth defect because she has been like that since we got her at 4 weeks old.

Your dog and rats are simply gorgeous

I love ur rats they're so cute :D
What a wonderful cage maybe one day il be able to afford a really big cage.but I only have two boys but still would be great for them
It's so worth the money!
You can make a c&c cage and cover it in 1/2 inch wire. They make AWSOME cages and are cheap they usually only cost you 40-60 $. 😁😎🐀🐭🐾🐁
Getting a rat for my 17th birthday in two weeks!!! So excited!! :3
Yay!!!!
This helped me a lot thank you
Glad I could help!
your ratties are awesome
do you cook your eggs for them with anything? such as butter or oil?
You have the best looking rats I think I've ever seen. Awesome Cage. Great video thank you.
Like the fleece idea with the clips I see what you did there. Good idea.
I suppose you get that fleece at just about any fabric store for not a whole lot of money?
are you on any rat forums and if so witch one are you on and if not do u recommend any?
Do you make your own seed mix? If so, can you share what’s in it? Ty!
I was getting a pet rat and right now I can only afford a rat. Will that rat go into depression if it's alone? Let me know. And what time do you feed them. Also how many times a week do you clean the fabric?

they eat only once a day?
also, their nutrition must contain so much or the store designated rat food is sufficient? I am about to adopt some and i would like some advice :) thanks
Very cute 💕🐀🐁🐁🐀🐀🐀🐁🐁
what do you work as to fund the rats?
Hey are these trained to pee in the box too!? I don't see any pee on those felt mats in the cage
Im saving up so i can buy a decent sized cage so they will be happy when i get my two baby gurllies!!!
As soon as u get rats are they so friendly like yours ❤️🐁
OMG YOUR RATS ARE THE CUTEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDD
Do you wick your fleece before putting it in?
How long do they get free range time?
how much protein should you give them a day? I didnt realize that was important because some of my girls already look plump off of free range lab blocks
+Sydney Long I think it's 3 times a week until they're 4 months old, then 2 until 7 months and 1 time until they're a year old and than it's just occasionally. But it's better to ask someone else, I'm not an expert! Rats are omnivores, they can eat a lot of stuff :)
What veggies do you give them ?
Hey! So I just got 2 rats, a momma and baby. What cage size do you recommend? And what kind of foods do you usually feed them? What kind of toys do they like
A bout half the size of her cage. Maybe a bit bigger than half
your such a nice mom to them!!!
What kind of Rats do you have? The gray ones are SUPER cute
RatGirl44 hi I have a question so you give your rats protein 3-4 times a week what else do you give them for protein besides the scrambled eggs???
And another question what is in their salad that you give them????
And so you only have to feed them once a day so its at night time right??
What is in their nut mix??
So sorry so many questions but I would like to know for my pet rats thank you hope to hear from you soon :):):)
+Adriana Marquez I made a video on the protein did you see it?
I give them a mixed salad, all kinds of greens!
I also have a video on my nut mix.
Uhhhh nice the brown one is dumbo ear
Hi RatGirl44, I noticed you feed your ratties Oxbow. What did you feed them when they were babies? Was it Oxbow Young Rat and Mouse Essentials?
Brooke Matthews I am about to post a video on that subject tomorrow!
Are those poops you picked up with your hands??
So nice and cute :) What they have in red bowl? The yellow tihng. Is it eggs?
Yep!
Does it matter what kind of tile is in their cage? Looks smooth!
+Jen Davis smooth tile is better just because It's easier to clean!

Lucky looks like you have a borzoi!
My birds name is amber also!
What would be better to have, two males or two females?
How long dose it take to clean them out o.o
Do you feed your ratties breakfast in the morning? And do you give them some sort of protein and vegetables/proteins every day?
+Hi. My name is [ Blurry Face ] I do not feed them in the morning, they usually have lab blocks still in the bowl. I feed them fresh veggies every night and extra protein a few times a week while they are young. Once they get older I feed the protein only about once a week.
cant waint to get my ratties
are they not trying to eat stuff from litter box?
does it pay well
Hi, your rats are wonderful! I am writing from Italy and I can not understand everything. What is that marbled tile at 5:05 minutes? Thank you
ahahaha so glad to see that someone else isn't afraid of rat poo.
