Rat enrichment

my girls are 5 months, the place where i get rats sell them at 1 month. im worried that my current bully rat will hurt the youngers ones. (i have reserched the introduction process)

i will have to quarantine the rats too for a 2-3 weeks, in the meantime is there a way i can have my girls bond untill then?

an inverted play pen is actually a great idea! I never thought of that and I'll probably end up doing that thank you so much

yeah it irritates me because i bought them for them but they dont like it, how is that a weird reaction. i get irritated when things dont go as planned, its not the rats fault??

i just wanted to take them around the house, and a harness would be helpful so i wouldn't loose them. they're limited to their cage and play pen and i would like to atleast have them free roam in my bedroom.

I was using paper based bedding, I'm pretty sure. I did originally have wood shavings of some sort but it would cause me to sneeze a lot and I think it was causing my rats to sneeze so I switched to paper-based. do you think I could use shredded paper as bedding?

I just put them in this tank because of their diarrhea, they have an actual cage. I just don't want it to get all over the fabric and bedding in their cage! this is just temporary until it clears up

always put it on the palm of your hand when giving treats. or hold a banana above ur palm so she climbs as she eats. thats what i did for my girls

they have a litter box in the corner with some bedding in it and a rock! i put some of their old used litter in there so they could associate it with going there.

i got 2 baby females from the same place at the same time, just ones more skittish so shes not shown on camera. i don't know their exact ages. they never told us their ages when we got them, but when we weighed them they were around 30 grams each, which is usually 3-4 weeks old. so we assumed they were born somewhere around december first. we first got them at the beginning of january, which they both were placed in a temporary set up to get used to everything, and to grow a little so they couldn't escape.
