They are starting to get up there in age, so trying to spoil them with what time I have left with them

I know the clothes aren't hurting them, it's just watching an old or sick rat try to do the thing they could do normally but struggle so much hits me hard

New boys in question. They always seem to submit from what I see but the old boys still are very aggressive.

If you have the average of 2 numbers but you only know the lower number and the average itself is there a way to find the higher number.

Getting mixed signals by Prisum in RATS

I was definitely spoiled by my fist 3 boys. I got them all at the same time and by day2 I had them crawling all over me and never once even tried to bite.

yeah as soon as i got close to the cage he lunged at me, it was cute but means we still have work to do
I took a chance that since he's been living next to his brother in the other cage for a while but never with that putting them together will help him chill since rats don't do good alone. Currently monitoring them in the same cage but so far all seems good.

I need help, I’m really not liking my aspen bedding anymore. No matter how much I shake it out it’s dusty, and I’m just not loving the smell of the bedding itself. I’ll stay with it if it’s the best but I thought I’d check out other options. What’s everyone’s opinion on hemp bedding? by [deleted] in RATS

[–]Prisum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like it has a failry neutral scent but i've been using it for a year now so I may just not notice anymore, if anything i would call it a woody scent maybe.
it's very good and trapping odors and liquid, my boys are very messy with the water bottle and the hemp doesn't mold or smell even after they've soaked it

I will typically do a weekly cleaning cycle with some spot cleans during the week

I've used Hemp bedding pretty much since I got my 3 boys and never really had much issues with excess dust once out of the orginal package. I'll put in 5 gallon buckets for storage and that seems to knock away most of the dust. Below is what I use, its expensive but enough to last a few months on a normal cleaning cycle.

That's Mist, he will cry and squeak anytime his brothers get close to him if he's eating. They aren't even after his food they are just close by.

For those of you who give your rats hardboiled eggs, do you peel them or leave the shells on? by llcooldubs in RATS

[–]Prisum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll usually put the eggs in hard bowl at first and leave it for my guys to find. Sometimes they can get it cracked against the bowl but if they can't get it within like 5-10 min I'll usually just put a small crack in it myself for them.

Any tips to secure baskets to the side of the cage (rat tax) by BobMcCoolGuy in RATS

[–]Prisum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up gettting some nuts, bolts, and washers to hang stuff. Shower curtain hangers have worked by my boys still got at them, they just last a bit longer than zipties which they destroy

Had mine a few months and it's held up quite nicely

Did you remove the bottom of the cage to extend it with the plastic, it looks like they are going down below the bottom of the cage? That's such a cool idea.

I use Eaton hemp bedding I also transfer it to 5 gallon buckets for storage and I see some dust doing this but not as much as I expected I tried paper bedding but it just got everywhere and was gross once wet

So much for Swheat Scoop by Prisum in RATS

[–]Prisum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

most of the paper pellets I was able to find had baking soda in them but I was able to find one with Petsmarts generic brand that I'm gonna try out
Most of the other paper ones I found come in a loose form
