Fancy Rats Forum

Well i wanted to place an update here. i did not only downsized the cage, but also my rat group.... i was to hard for me to give them the care they needed. the 2 baby boys went back to breeder, together with a 6 month old male. (he was more close to the babies) I decided due to health problems to go...

I have a savic zeno 2, for my 2 lazy males

I've read different opinions on these veggies, can you feed them raw?

Yeah i know, but i didn't want to start in the carrier because lack of view and acces to the rats, incase something went wrong.... This morning kittens in one corner, others in the other. Still all just relaxed around achother. Did another fewe hours in the carrier, and after that i see more mixed s...

I have started the intro in the mini duna.
They have been in the small carrier for about 4-5 hours this morning, and i just put them back in the miniduna cage.
I see them sleeping in mixed groups now. In the carrier everything was ok too.
Will see how it goes from here.

Yesterday morning i started the intro in the ferplast mini duna cage. The kittens weigh around 230-240gr. Everything is going well. They are all very easy going and just get around the cage, sniff eachother and go back to their own sleeping corner. (Kittens apart from the others in their corner) The...

aah thanks, do you have a picture of your cage layout? do you use the shelves that come with the cage? maybe a fully open cage can work, but they love the middle floor space and their house up there. they always build super nests around the house with the green mile carboard, they don't do this when...

my husband says don't take the 2 kittens and keep the 3 you have, and house them in the savic zeno 2 (80x50x70) but i think it is wat too small for 3 and i want a nice group around 4-6 rats. will see how it works out to clean the upper part one week and the lower part the next week, maybe that is a ...

Hmm not sure if it is doable to take the midpart oud. Have to take the whole cage apart to do so. And it will cost them lot of floor space.... and the hight....they are always up there and only come down to drink and eat If i make it an open space,what about falling? I don't want to use the platform...

That is also worth a try!thank you! Will try that first.

I clean the CN like this every 2 weeks. I have to change the bedding every 2 weeks because of the smell, and i also take the trays and perspex out to clean. The perspex looks a bit dirty after 2 weeks. But maybe i can try to just wipe out the trays and swipe the perspex clean and put clean bedding i...

Ok...i have 3 rats, soon i have 2 more. I have a CN double for them, but because of a painfull shoulder problem,cleaning the CN is way too much for me... After cage cleaning i have very much pain and have to go to bed. Even painkillers do not help. Doctor tells me this condition can last a while and...

Thanks. I have ordered a extra seperate cage for the babies to live in while they grow to be big enough for introduction.
It is a savic zeno 2 cage.
I will wait with the intro till they weigh at least 200gr.

hi, my 3 boys (1 12 month old, 2 5 month old) are living in a double CN in the living room. next weekend i can get 2 new 6 week old boys from a breeder, they are now 5 weeks and weigh about 130gr. i think it is best to start intro's with a minimum 200gr weight? if so, i do have to keep them seperate...

my 3 male rats are housed in a double CN. I ise B2N in the toilets and greenmile on the floors. They are toilettrained and use the toilets very well. I change thw toilets and hammocks out twice a week. The greenmile i toss around daily so the soiled bediing and clean bedsing is mixed again if needed...
