I want to buy 2 female pet rats do they smell are they noisy how do you train them what do they eat how long do they live are they loving how do you play with them how often do they eat?

Answer 1

They might smell if you don't give them a bath. They can be noisy when chewing on the cage bars. They need a cage where the bars are close together. You might want to put a twist-tie on the cage door so it will not escape. They need 3 food pellets a day, each at different times. You can also give them treats from the pet store or Wal-Mart. They can eat fruits and vegetables, but if they have too many, then they could get diarrhea, which can be fatal for rats. Never feed them lemonade or soda. Most rats live for 2 years, but some have lived for 3 or 4 years. Some die from diseases, such as tumors. If you see a huge lump on a rat, take it to the vet IMMEDIATLY. Never pick up a rat by the tail. You should scoop it up with 2 hands and support the bottom. You can buy and make toys and mazes for them. I hope this answer was helpful.
