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.
