No! Not at all!
Feeder mouse/rats can be paid for around 60cents or maybe $1.
Other kinds of mouse/rats are around $3-$7.
Now! The equipment is going to be the pricey part. Cage could be $10 - $15. I wouldn't spend more than 15 dollars on a cage.
Shavings are going to like 3 or 4.
Youll definitely will want a running wheel that's like 3 also.
Special food can be bought for 8 dollars or you can just give leftovers lol they arent too picky.
So for feeder rat + 13 dollar cage + 4 for shavings + 3 for wheel + 8 for special bag food(optional) = $30. Of course this will vary but this is just the JUST of it. Hoped this helped.
I got my mouse for MUCH CHEAPER! I got mine for 15 dollars with everything but I already had the cage from my guinea pig... poor Clyde T_T
you could most likely buy on for less then ten dollars. However, it depends on your financial background whether you judge that as expensive.
No. All pet rats are vaccinated.
You can find pet rats in a lot of pet stores, or animal rescues. You can find wild rats just about anywhere.
its not all pet rats its just the ones that are black and white because it looks somewhat like a tuxedo
Yes
No, they can sometimes prevent them!
Pet rats are not vermin. Pet rats are raised in a pet store, laboratory, or adoption center and they are raised to be pets or in the case of labs, experiments. if you are thinking of buying a rat remember not to buy a rat raised as food for snakes. Rats bred to be pets are much gentler and sweeter than rats raised as food.
no
for a pet, or for their predators
no
Pet rats don't have to be cleaned. They are fanatic groomers, and take care of it themselves. -Rat girl <3
