Que espécie de rato é essa? O que fazer? Onde levar?

Me ajudem estou perdido.

Hello! I am completely new into getting rats, but have been doing a lot of research and feel somewhat ready.

However... I keep having conflicting reviews and opinions on cages.

Pls if anyone has any suggestions that would be amazing!

We are currently looking into getting 2 or 3 and can max spend £100 on a cage rn.

My friends suggested this one but idk 😭

Right now doing a week change

She behaving totally normal.

Hey all!
First time rat owner, using non scented hemp bedding for my 3 boys! I just cleaned out their cage for the first time and when I took out all the bedding there was a thin layer of dirt like dust at the bottom, I was able to just wipe it with 1 wipe and wasn’t much. I’m wondering if this means my hemp is too dusty? Should I change it? Want to be mindful of their respiratory systems!

These babies are 7 weeks old today! (Not their cage in first pic, this is what I brought them home in)

The greyish/tan one has some freckle spots on his back and is much more brave and has already started climbing all over me. The black one has a small splotch on his back and is a little skittish but trying his best to be brave and follows his brother. He seems to be the dominant one and initiates play fights a lot.

They will be integrating with their older brother named Gollum after Gollum is neutered.

I made another post about my cage setup before getting my 2 GIRLS, and someone made a comment about the bar width, but I was like its okay were gonna make modifications. BUT we were planning on making the modifications AFTER they came home.... completely forgot we were originally planning on getting adult boys, but we have wound up with around 6 month old GIRLS. Tina immediately slipped through the cage lmao. So it was kind of a disaster as I held Tina while my partner put the hardware cloth on. We made it through the night, though we both woke up frequently, I kept waking up terrified she had gotten out.

Anyways, our biggest issue (?) now is that we may have given the girls too much bedding too soon. We did the cement mixing bin method, and filled her up fully. Louise immediately borrowed, and once Tina was contained, she helped Louise with making entrances and hung out with her but comes out every so often and just chills and explores. Louise has come out maybe 3 times that we know of.

Im just wondering how this is going to effect our bonding. We specifically chose not to over crowd the cage to prevent them hiding and being difficult to get out while we practiced handling and bonded... now that they have created tunnels in their bedding, I definitely would not want to destroy them to get them out. :( Should we just give them a few days of zero handling? We are wanting to do the patience method for a few days before doing the confidence method. But im wondering if I should do patience for longer because of how crazy the first night went for Tina and because of how much Louise wants to hide. At the same time, I wonder if doing nothing and waiting will just do nothing? I just want to do whatever will benefit them and our relationship. I want them to know its safe to explore and rest absolutely anywhere. They seem to have eaten their pellets overnight, so I am happy about that. Tina also drank lots of water.

Louise: cream

Tina: Grey

I can't travel to get them and I do know of a rattery close by and ill probably go there but I just thought id ask here in case theres others that are respected that are close.

Hi, so is a bottle or a bowl better when it comes to water. Currently, I have 2 bottles in with them but I feel like every time I turn around, I have to refill it. whenever I ask my roommate, she said the same thing that she's constantly refilling it. I know it does leak a little bit, but I don't feel like it leaks enough for it to warrant being gone that fast. I just want to make sure they are getting enough water.What can I do?

Is this ok? There is red area , is that ok?

Hey guys, I’ve been thinking about adopting a few rats in a few months and needed help with the cage. Any cages I find that are marketed for rats/rabbits/mice are all really small and not tall and any on my Amazon are all over 400€. I was wondering if a parrot cage would be acceptable as they’re big and tall and a more comfortable price. Would they be okay? Especially that I can add floors and obviously many climbing things and toys? Thank you for your help 😊
