Deciding if you would like a pet rat… With Clara

Hey Guys! Clara Here!!


Thinking about getting a pet rat?

Not sure if you have the right life style?

What are pet rats like?

What am I required to do, having a pet rat?


I will answer all of your questions.. don't worry.




Supplies required for having rats:


Water bottle filled with fresh water every day

Small pet bowls

Kibble (You need to refill it every day)

Fruits and Veggies

At least 2 rats

A large cage (HAMSTER CAGES ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE)

Fresh bedding every week

A cage cleaning every week

hammocks and tunnels

Levels in their cage

A bunch of attention!!

Lots of love!

Occasional baths

And a wheel, witch is pretty much optional,





If you are still reading, you are probably okay with this list.
Your rats will need much more attention than hamsters, you will need to take them out and let them run around frequently. If cared for properly your rat will become your BFF. They love to cuddle and explore you and your house, and over time they get even more and more comfortable with you, you can even teach them tricks!!
Rats are excellent first pets for responsible children who are able to properly care for, and handle your pet rats.

Where to get your pet rats from: Do not get your pet rats from a large chain petstore. Where they come from is a cruel, harsh environment, their parents are mass bred. Basically, the cute baby rats are sent to pet stores, and the less cute ones are sent to be sold as snake dinner.. ):
Also, almost all rats from large chain pet stores have multiple diseases, and may die within the first month you have them.

Look online for a rat breeder in your area. If there are no suitable breeders in your area, look on an adoption website and see if there are any rats you can adopt from people who can no longer care for their rats.



Pet rats  are amazing, fluffy, or not so fluffy if its a hairless rat, little creatures. You will fall in love with their twitchy whiskers, and their sassy personalities.

                                  GO PET RATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
