One of rats necessity's are toys, I know you think I'm crazy but its true for rats to have proper enrichment and obstacles like they would have in the wild. You can make fun toys but you will probably buy some kind of toy at one point. One website I would recommend is
www.drfostersmith.com
This a great website for toys, food dishes, water bottles, bedding. etc.
I have a prevue hendryx cage, if you have looked at my earlier articles, I have a rat cage calculator in one of the articles. the cage I have currently can hold up to 5 rats (But its good to have more than enough space for your rats.)
However for cage buying, I would recommend Amazon.com, the cage I have right now only cost me 134 ( one hundred and thirty four) dollars. I would recommend this cage to anyone.
Anyways, Back to the website I linked to it, also has extra wood platforms to put on specifically for the cage I have BUT cage I have has wire flooring so in order for your rats to not get bumble foot I put on cardboard and fleece.
P.S I LOVE COMMENTS!!! Please comment below about anything you would like to know about rats and I will answer back!
P.P.S The best toy you can buy for your rat is another rat, It doesn't matter how many toys you buy.
I would love to see more pictures of the rats and their home! Keep up the good work!
