Yes - any non-aquatic animals' bedding should be dry, unless pet care guides indicate that it should be damp. For a rat's bedding to be wet it indicates that the rat(s) have urinated in the bedding, in which case it needs to be changed and the cage cleaned.
annoying
if it is a sealed bag it is fine...i never heard of freezing bedding...i would think condensation would form and then that would make it wet and bad for your hamster
wet weather season is god for rats
dry
You should remove all the droppings and obviously wet bedding twice every day, and completely change the bedding at least once a week.
Maybe, Maybe not. It depends if your bedding is wet, stinky, and has a lot of food and feces in it.I would change it every week.
You can use a cat litter scoop to remove the old/wet bedding. Then sprinkle in new bedding. If there is any odor, you can neutralize it with pet odor exterminator candles from PetProductsByRoyal.com
First, umpty the bedding, then fill it with water and/or wipe it down with a wet paper towl/cloth.
No.
It means like "little rat" because they look like rats when their wet! And they used to hunt rats and other small creatures underground.
Wet dreams are perfectly normal.
Sanitation is the key to animal health because if animals are producing "bad bacteria" such as urine and feces in wet bedding or in unclean facilities, then the bad bacteria have a much faster and higher growth rate. They will multiply at a much higher exponential rate than in clean, dry bedding. -If that bacteria is not properly removed of, then it has a much easier way of finding its way into the animals' mouths, infecting their entire bodily system.
