You should house your pet rat in a cage with aspen shavings for bedding. A water bottle and a food dish. Don't put the cage in direct sunlight or near any drafts. It is best if you 2 get rats at one time so they can keep each other company while you are not home to play with them. You can put some toys in the cage for your rat to play with. The cage should be 2 feet by 2 feet by 1 foot for each rat you own.
any time it feels right for you. but at least once a week depending on the size of the cage. (20 gallon aquarium is the best cage you can have). place the rat in a temporary carrieing cage or a running (ball, and a big one at that) move the toys out one by one carfull not to drop anything. clean it in the back yard or in a bathtub if you dont have a yard fill it half way with water. pour in ONLY a capfull of liqued bleach and scrub it nicly. when your done fill it with fresh bedding (woodshavings are best for your pet) put back all the toys and the rat you are now done cleaning out the cage of the best pet a person can have
If you trained it, you should be able to call its name, so it comes. If not, choose a food your rat like and set it out, keep the cage open so the rat can get in!
