Ratamania
Mid October Issue

 


Welcome! 

Minami would like to show you her favourite things in her cage

 
 
 

 

This is my sleeping container, hanged from the cage ceiling. It's usually Koyuki's favourite sleeping area, because it's cosy, warm and dark. At the moment it fits two rats (just about).
 

   
 
 

This is the Wodent Wheel, which I have not quite mastered yet how to use it. It's Sayuri and Koyuki's favourite toy, speeding day and night. The wheel is about 12" in diameter, rather big but just about fits in the bottom of our parrot cage. That's how a rat wheel is supposed to be. It's such a safe wheel because our foot and tail don't get caught in the wireframe. 
 


 

This is more of a classic type of the log house, which we inherited from Miyuki & Fuyume. They certainly had  a good chew! It's such tough wood and it doesn't absorb the urine smell either. It also has two little windows on either side which we can squeeze though.
 
 


 

The tube here is just an ordinary hard plastic join tube.  No hidden room or secret passage to where Meg hides our treats... but hours of fun!
 
 

The yellow and oragen wooden pieces are our gnawing sticks. Rats need to gnaw on hard objects because out teeth continuously grow. Over grown teeth can be trimmed by experienced vet technitians, but when you think of the hussle, it's better to have the gnawing sticks!!! The one in the middle is out food bowl and the one on the right is our water bottle. The water is changed every day.
