Cutting nails

You can usually get your veterinarian to cut your rats nails or you can learn how to do it yourself. There are all different videos online on how to do it. But I will tell you how to do it right now.

1. You need your rat(s) to sit still; the way you can do that is by bribing them with oats!
2. You will need a pair of nail clippers (you only need human ones but get a new one for your rats, but only use them on your rats, as there can be bacteria in human and rat nails)

3. Cut them! Make sure you just cut the white part off and not any of the pink (that's the quick)

4. You should probably cut your rats nails about once a month. make sure you remember because it can be very uncomfortable for your rat(s)!

It is very rare for rats to have dark colored hands/paws but if your rat(s) do, make sure you just cut of the tiniest bit and do it more frequently, about every other week.
