Where do I find clothes FOR my pet rats?

i need help dressing my little ratty up for special occations there is no rat clothes on the internet pleez answerWhere do I find clothes FOR my pet rats?
Ooh.. don't want poor little ratty to go naked do we? But then again, maybe your rat would rather go nude. Let it all hang out. Make a statement.





Cute idea, though.





I don't think people sell clothes for rats. Maybe you should start a clothing line for rich rats.


You could get rich, who knows...





Wow. I'll shut up now. I'm very sleep deprived and don't have a life. don't mind me. ;)Where do I find clothes FOR my pet rats?
I ran across this when I was wondering the same question. I did find one site


www.theagilerat.com/ but that was the only one. They also have items for training. Seems to be a pretty good site. I am just looking for a sweater for him. Rats are very smart and loving...I had no idea but love mine!

I think that is totally disgusting!!! A pet rat??? Just how ';cute'; would that be? How are they considered ';pets';? That is gross, and I think you should let little ';Ben';, back out in the wild where he belongs. YUK !!!! Does he fetch your slippers??
First I want to say stop smoking what ever it is that you are smoking, but then i thought. . hey why not. If you have a sewing machine and a little bit of skill see what you can come up with yourself. Visit a pet store with dog clothing and just check out the style and how they are made. Then go come and take some paper towel and try to make a pattern using your rat as a guide. My mom used to always use paper towel to try out a sewing idea.





Here is the great part, get some good patterns that fit your rat, then open your own online store and sell them. I bet tons of people would want them.
Depends how big they are I guess, a ferrets clothes might fit
i heard that you can get a high combat multipliyer there but you need to defeat jack. ive beet this game goin on 5 times and iv never heard of archons gate is archons gate only on lost chapters because i have the original
That is because rats don't need clothes. Let them go all natural!!
It's too bad they don't make plus-size Barbie clothes. You'll probably have to make him/her an outfit.

those are made for ferrets, but if your rat is fully grown, and you buy the smallest size they have, it might fit.





I looked also, and didnt find rat clothes, but i did find hamster clothes (to small for a rat tho)
you better ask your rat what brand it prefers before you go out spending your money.
Aww!! My gosh, that is too adorable! I'm not sure where you can get clothes for them, I'll try using a few search engines *just in case* I come across something.. I'll also ask some of my friends.





I've seen ferrets with clothing, as well as those tiny Teacup poodles.. How big are your rats?
Its not too hard to make clothes, I'm sure you could do it! I hope the clothes would be temporary, as I'm sure your rattie's inclination to chew would take over eventually. =)
Ha ha ha ha. Make them if you can't buy them.
CLOTHS? FOR PET RAT? THAT IS THE WEIRDIST THING...


Sorry, dont know and stores, but I know if you have fabric, you can make your own

Which type of bedding is best for my rats?

Carefesh, Newspaper, or Shavings?





(I will only used approved shavings so don't worry about that)





I don't want it to be that expensive so I kind of want to use newspapers, but does that work good?








Any Tips?





I don't have the rats yet I'm getting them July 1 I am just setting up their cage nowWhich type of bedding is best for my rats?
Carefresh is the best. it works great. newspaper is harmful. any wood shavings can also harm your pet by scaping up their eyes, and things like that, but if you must use shavings, DO NOT use cedar shavings. carefresh is the best bedding to choose. but, do not use newspapers! hehe. i love rats, so have fun with the new ones! rats are awesome pets.Which type of bedding is best for my rats?
Greetings,





Carefresh - Not good with odor,And expensive But will do best as a base to a bedding.





shavings ( such as kiln dried pine , and aspen shavings) - 8.00-13.00 on average therefor non expensive,And great with odor, No need to use carefresh as base in order to stop odor from coming through,





* change you're rat/rats cage 3 times a week to once a week refreshing daily.








Newspaper is inexpensive, But ink may be toxic in some cases, But blocks their digestive system.and isn't good with odor.
Care Fresh or shavings.





Newspaper does not retain odor AT ALL, and trust me, rats stink. Also, the chemicals that are used for the ink of newspaper is harmful to rats.





If you want a cheap bedding, I recommend a fleece blanket. You can just shake off the poo every weekend and throw it in the washing machine. However, shavings only cost about $25 for a 10 pound bag.
Carefresh is the best. Shavings are really bad, they cause respiratory issues. Even the ';approved'; ones, which may be alright for rabbits and such, can be bad for rats.

Does having rats improve your social life?

I love my pet rats and find when I take them out with me every one talks to me and is never hostile. I am an older single man and find most other rat owners are attractive ladies! So having rats has given my social life a great boost. They are great when I take rats to parties but restaurant managers are not so keen when I let them run in the dining room LOLDoes having rats improve your social life?
My girlfriend got upset when she found one in the bedDoes having rats improve your social life?
you cannot seriously take rats to restaurants? That is against health and safety and the environmental health would close down any restaurant if your rats were to escape, no wonder they don't like it. I'm not too familiar with rats apart from love rats. What if you meet a woman who likes cats? lol!!
errrr... well.. i wouldn't exactly blame the restaurant managers for not being too keen on RATS being in their RESTAURANT.


i wouldn't say it would improve EVERYONE'S social life..maybe just in your case.


its the same as finding other people with the same hobbies attractive
I would imagine any pet that isn't very common would attract attention. My question is though, if you knew this worked then why ask o.O?

  • What's the movie with the guy and rats?

    Bah I can't remember the movie at all, I just remember a guy and his house was full of rats, then he finally fell in love, but the rats at the end I guess were jealous and either killed him or didn't let him see the girl he liked, I wasn't sure. And I think he made the rats kill people too, I don't know. Any suggestions?What's the movie with the guy and rats?

    Why are rats nicer than hamsters?

    I went to the pet store and all the rats werent afraid they came up to me, and I could pet them. When I went to the hamsters they ran away, when I reach to pet them they bit me!Why are rats nicer than hamsters?
    Rats are more intelligent and love attention from both rats and humans. Hell my rats loved attention from the dogs!





    Rats are very social creatures where as hamsters like to live in solitude. If you got a hamster and handled it alot then it would probably tame up.





    I've owned and bred many hamsters and rats. I have NEVER been bitten by a rat or even come across an aggressive one. I have been bit quite a few times by hamster and have had many very aggressive hamster who we have taken in and tamed up. But to tame them up we have alot of bites, not fun at all.Why are rats nicer than hamsters?
    It's nothing to do with size, or tameness. Even a tame hamster is still grumpier than a tame rat. Rats are HIGHLY social, and very curious and intelligent. A strange hand wanders in, and they want to come say hi. Rats are happiest when they live with other rats, so them living together in a pet store makes them that much happier than hamsters in the same living conditions. Hamster like to be alone. I adore rats, they are loving and playful like dogs, but clean [even more so] like cats. They are great pets, and love to keep themselves busy. They interact with toys and new objects. If you were considering buying either, I would suggest rats. But get them from a breeder, and do your research. Pet store rats are notorious for bad health.
    Rats are highly social animals. They enjoy the company of other rats and people. They also love to be active, they enjoy playing with people, and rats. Unlike hamsters, they are solitary animals. And arent excatly the actvie type. They prefer to be alone and do not like to be bothered. As you may of noticed.
    Rats are just more social than hamsters are. Most hamsters prefer to live by themselves in solitude but rats enjoy the company of others including their human companions.I've been bitten by every hamster I've ever owned but never by my rats. If you're looking for a cute, cuddly , and SMART small animal for a pet then adopt a rat. You'll be so much happier.
    hamsters are feisty, i don't think they're good pets at all. rats are sweeter, just as long as you don't mind people getting a little freaked out when the see them, they're great pets. they are also really really smart, you can train them like dogs if you want.


    you can also look on www.petfinder.com the rats there might be in better condition then at the pet store.


    hope this helps,

    rats are smarter then hamsters and can be handled better from my experience, i had 11 rats(now just one T_T) and my brother has 12 hamsters...the hamsters scream when we try to touch them and either wet themselves or try to bite us. My rats use to play with my hand and like to be held. I think hamsters are just skittish cause their brains are probably less tolerant
    Hmmm..good question. Rats are bigger then hamsters, so your hand wouldn't seen so giant to them. Remember hamsters are nocturnal so it was probably sleeping when you tried to touch it. They are grouchy hen they are tired (just like me lol) but they aren't nasty.
    Rats are more intelligent than hammys so they won't run away or bite often but hammys are timid creatures and they bite when touched.


    But if your going to get one get the rat because rat are easy to litter train and they are sociable.
    Well, it all depends on how much you handle them. If you were to get a hamster it would end up being like that.
    Rats are smart, hamsters, not so much.



    Are there rats in the White House?

    I worked at the Federel Triangle years back, when Clinton was president %26amp; I remember the rats in %26amp; outside the buildings, as big as house cats, were all over the place. And they had no fear of humans. I was just wondering if they'd been exterminated or had spread?Are there rats in the White House?
    Rats? Loads...both the four %26amp; two legged kind.Are there rats in the White House?
    Yes, the government is paying an exurbanite extermination price for vermin in DC epically the White House due to security needs, plus we elected a rat to the office of Presidency
    hahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahah i dont think rats can get threw the security system of the white house which is probley one of the best in the world
    Me thinks um, two legged kind and four legged kind. The two legged


    ones are the ones we need to deal with, Ben and his gang need a home.


    We need to send Rahm Emanuel and Bad news Obama back to Chicago,
    Rats in white house, rats will be found in places where waste food is in plenty as there must be a lot of parties as such rats must be inhabiting in the house.
    This one is too easy, yes most of the cabinet. And you're right they have no fear of humans.





    Animal Farm is here.
    With the company that Pres Obama has kept and is keeping now, there has to be a lot of cheese for big fat rats kept all over the White House.
    Millions of rats! All scurrying hurridly about devise new despotic actions to take against the people of the USA.
    ';the rat is a republican';





    --------john mccain, al smith dinner 2008
    i just saw one in a White House press conference. He was a big one standing behind the podium.
    Obama is surrounded by rats on a daily basis, they followed him from Chicago
    I think Bush's dog ';Barny'; ran them out. But since Obama has broken his promise to his cute little girls about getting a dog, they are back now.
    Great big ole sewer rats lurchin around and no they are still there in full force.

    I doubt it. I also doubt you.

    What would be better for my two female rats?

    i started out using the shredded egg cartons as bedding and then they really didn't like it so i changed it to the saw dust and i don't think that they like that either what would be best to put on the bottom of the cage for them? i have looked at the pet stores and i don't really see more then those two am i looking in the wrong places or what?What would be better for my two female rats?
    You could try shredded aspen, its absorbant but at the same time it doesnt dry the air too much. Aspen is a perfectly safe wood to use, just avoid pine and cedar.





    They love to dig and play in it - you can also add a handful of shredded paper and they will happily make nests with it!





    Hope this helps. =)





    What would be better for my two female rats?
    The best pest stores are petsmart,petco and petland. Check there if you have them near where you live. You need good bedding to make it comfortable for your rats and too keep the smell under control. If you cant seem to find it in your store i recommend buying it online.


    Heres some helpful links to the kind of bedding that your should buy.





    Pine bedding(refreshes the whole cage) http://www.petco.com/product/8850/Premie鈥?/a>





    http://www.petco.com/product/14472/Cozy-鈥?/a>





    http://www.petlanddiscounts.com/detail.a鈥?/a>








    All these brands are really good. Until you buy one of them i suggest to put blankets(comfy but un-needed old ones are okay) underneath the cage and on top of the blankets or towels put newspaper shreddings and paper towel shreddings. That makes an okay bedding substitute.





    Anyway good luck and i hope i helped. =)
    Go to the pet store and get Carefresh or Yesterday's News. If you can't find them, ask an employee for help.





    Also, never use cedar for rats, it hurts their lungs.
    I use Carefresh for my rat and hamster. It's great..easy to clean and very little odor.
