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.

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.

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.

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.

Do Gerbils,Rats, or hamsters have different nutritional values for snakes?

Specifically I have a ball python who is a super picky eater.Do Gerbils,Rats, or hamsters have different nutritional values for snakes?
about the same. if you can afford gerbils its one of there natural prey items, but it will never look at a mouse/rat again.HAHAHAH your choice.Do Gerbils,Rats, or hamsters have different nutritional values for snakes?
Snakes get all their nutritional requirements from the rodents they eat. It is basically the same for the ones you have listed provided that they are of appropriate meal size for each individual snake. In the wild, the ball python's favorite food is a rodent called the jeraboa and, it resembles a hamster somewhat. That is why hamsters are sometimes used to provoke picky ball pythons, especially imported adults. Different rodents, like the ones on your short list, produce there own chemical signatures that the python picks up. If a python does not recognize the chemical signature as prey, a picky eater can refuse the rodent. Scenting mice and rats with hamster litter is one effective trick used on ball pythons that are problem feeders. Not only can this spark their appetite sometimes but, it also gets them used to eating mice or rats and identifying them as food..... Current work is being done to produce a jerboa/mouse hybrid especially for ball pythons. Ball pythons that normally fast during the winter months continue to feed when offered this hybrid mouse. It is believed that the hybrid mouse carries some of the chemical signatures that the jeraboa does so, because ball pythons are naturally and instinctively wired to recognize this particular scent, they feed on this hybrid mouse without hesitation.
Ball pythons are very picky eaters i they are bought straight into the uk from africa captive bread tend to be less fussy as there used to eating mice or rats. I have a ball python which has to be forced fed at times but will be happy to a gerbil as its what the commonly eat in the wild in africa. you can dust the gerbil with vitamin powders to keep it healthy. If you have any concerns or you need any info email me i will be happy to help you out.

What is the name of the park in Houston with the beaver-like neutra rats? :/

What to do about mites/lice on rats?

I just now found little bugs on my 8 day old rat pups and my other rats have them too including the momma. None of them had them before we moved. The pups are really skinny and they have big heads and they did not look like that before. they looked good until 2 days ago. I've had rats with this before when moved to this same house once before. Could it be the house? PLEASE HELP!!What to do about mites/lice on rats?
The vet is the place to go. It's possible you'll have a discounted price for multiple rats. The vet will likely give them a dose of Revolution or Ivermectin (more likely if they're babies), which works quite well for rat mites, fleas and lice. After that, you need to clean the entire area thoroughly. Use a bleach %26amp; water solution and clean every item in the cage. Throw out all wood items, or bake them. Wash any cloth items in the washer, and spray everything else with the bleach %26amp; water. Rinse it, then spray with vinegar to eliminate the harsh bleach smell. Rinse again and let them dry in the sun. Vacuum everything AROUND the area of the cage, and wash things in the vicinity. Hopefully that should do for the little buggers!What to do about mites/lice on rats?
Relax!!! Most of the time they will get mites and lice from the packaged bedding from the store. Im not sure if you can treat 8 day old rat pups with Ivermectin but you can mom. Just take her to the vet and they will give you and oral or topical cream for it. But in my opinion the oral Ivermectin works better. Its not very expensive either. Carefresh bedding is horrible for mites and lice in the bedding. A good tactic to this is to freeze the bedding before you put it in there cage. This kills any parasites in the bedding. I would call an exotics vet and ask them about what can be done. But in my experience with baby rats they shouldnt have there fur yet. So maybe you can get the ivermectin and treat mom and disinfect the cage and wont have anymore problems. Good luck and hope I helped.
If they are anywhere near a window they could be attracting bugs from outside. Call the vet and tell them your situation. They might require you to bring all of the rats in or they might juts give you the medication.
it could be the house !


go to vet to make sure!
take all of them to the vets- they will give you something to cure it

Is there a trick for keeping pack rats out of vehicles stored in a junk yard?

Cat's typically won't work if you do feed them... And I'm not sure I like cats any better than rats.





Moth balls, or a box of rat poison on top of the motor is your best bet. Parking the vehicles in high grass also seems to make it worse. Some round-up or some of that granulated stuff the co-op sells should keep the grass from growing up around them.Is there a trick for keeping pack rats out of vehicles stored in a junk yard?

yes there is ,i own a shop and go and get you a box of moth balls and spread them all around in it ,mice and rats hate the smell of them,and they will leave it alone,i use them in some of my old cars ,and it works like a dream,but you have to add new ones after a few months they do loose there smell but it will keep them out of the cars,good luck hope this helps.
get a farm cat. itll kill everything
Cats. Lots and lots of cats. You don't even have to feed them. The rats take care of that.
get you some rat poison. remember where the rats are the snakes will be. they also make snake poison. good luck.

Are rats the right pets for me?

I have a 40 gallon breeder tank from my bearded dragon RIP. I have been fascinated by their personalities and am interested in getting like three. The only thing is that i am kinda freaked out about being bitten. I own mice now but they stink and arent very social with me they would rather run away.Are rats the right pets for me?
ummm no to the cage. tanks and other plastic cages cause all rodents (especially rats) respiratory disease. try getting a barred cage. i just got this cage at petsmart and it is HUGE. its big enough to hold 2 rats. (yeah they need ALOT of room) go to here to see it...http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.js鈥?/a>


its pretty cheap for the size. if u take the wheel out they have lots of room, and considering they dont NEED a wheel, it wont harm them.


rats rarely bite. the only time they bite is if u are very unlucky and get an agressive rat, or if u scare them, and they are biting out of fear. to avoid getting an agressive rat, get a rat from a breeder, rescue, or shelter.


rats are veryyyy social. u need to make a lot of time to spend with them. like 2 hours or more a day. and they need a cage mate to play with. get same sex pairs (or triplets). make sure the rats have lived together for awhile or are siblings. if they are siblings, still dont get a boy and girl, they will still mate. good luck! :)





go to www.ratsamazeme.blogspot.comAre rats the right pets for me?
Rats make great pets. They are usually much more social and responsive to humans than mice. Any animal with mouth parts will bite when they feel threatened or are upset. That's the only defense they have.





A tank is not an appropriate habitat for a mammal. There is no proper air circulation in a tank. A mammal eats more frequently than a reptile and the waste buildup is much higher. Rats should ideally have a multi-level cage so they do not have to have their feet in their waste.





We have rats surrendered to our shelter who get good socialization. The male rats are neutered before adoption as their usine is particularly strong.





Please check out your local humane society (we also have a wonderful rat rescue in our county) before purchasing rats from a pet store.
I have had lots of pet rats. They are awesome pets believe it or not. Mine were so social, they wanted to be right there with me. The males do stink more than females though. They are not typically biters..I never had one that bit.. Mice, gerbils, hamsters, ect. are more prone to bite. If you go to a pet store, handle a few, cause some are really phsyco and are hard to hold. I found that buying a little bit older one that was handled more was better. You can always try Craigs list pet section, or a humane society for a nice pet....They don't live all that long and many develope tumors. Mine lived to between 2 and 3 and almost all had tumors, cancer when they died. But they are great little pets!!!
I quite like rats they are intelligent so u can train it not to bite u


But u have to answer that question for ur self really

Should i get 2 male rats or 2 female rats?

Im getting two rats i cant decide whether to get two males or two females. I need help! I need you to help me decide.Should i get 2 male rats or 2 female rats?
I love both!!


Females-Prone to mammory tumors, TEND to be hyper, not always.


Males-Bigger, SOMETIMES fight 'cuz hormones. TEND to be layed back, not always. Cannot have oranges. More squishy.





I personally would like my next rats to be male because of the high risk of mammory tumors in females.Should i get 2 male rats or 2 female rats?
Congrats!





Generally females tend to be smaller, quicker, more active and more prone to tumors.





Males are larger, generally more laid back, but go through a macho phase in their early months.





Really, each rat has their own personality so I'd go to a rescue if you want rats because they'd definitely know the personality and how the rat acts. =) Good luck
Males


Smell nasty and are less energetic are Bigger and have bigger poop they can fight but can be housed together


Females


Can easily be housed together , they smell nicer are more energetic, they are smaller dont mark territory .
i really like males but threy mark so much!

How to make my mom cool with rats?

Ok I went to the pet store the other day


I saw some rats,


I instantly fell in love with 'em.


I asked my mom if I could have one


There only like 6 bucks


She thought it was a joke and said, ';Haha no way';


She is totally freaked out by rats snakes roaches etc


Rats are cool they dont hurt anythingHow to make my mom cool with rats?
Mothers belong to ';The Mothers Club'; where they all believe this way: If it's tame it can come inside. Ie. dog, cat, bird, fish. If it crawls, squeaks, scampers quickly while dragging a tail, has scales, looks at you like you are on the menu; it stays out. Ie. wild.


Try bargaining like ask what you can do to earn the privilege of buying for yourself this (?) pet.How to make my mom cool with rats?
You are so right. Rats are really cool. My mom hates our rats but she is warming up to them. Have her hold one in the store. They are really social and love people. That's how we convinced my mom. She is still nervous but loves to feed them carrots. It may take a while but don't scare her with them. Just let her come to them.
You shouldnt be buying ONE rat anyway, they are social animals that need company. If you do more research, and visit www.rattycorner.com and www.dapper.au.com , you'll get loads of info on why rats make such great pets, which will help you convince your mum.
DO research


ALL the supplies will cost like 150-200


NO aquaruims


They are social animals and it's unkind to just get just one

well, i have two rats.one is clean and the other is a complete slob.my rat steals food from the other and they fight alot.they make so much noise its annoying when im trying to sleep.they also drink water to fast.they always run out soon and i have to refill it an hour later.if you get a rat, get two.rats are pack animals and enjoy the company.find two that look like they like each other.rats are hard to take care of.they need to be played with at least an hour each day.you probably think u could do that.i thought it would be ok too but i can.my calender is to squished.i just dont have time for them any more.rats are very loving tho.they will just sit on ur shoulder and rest. did u know rats are clener than dogs?be prepared to get another cage if they fight non-stop.also they require a big cage.rats like to climb so u need a BIG cage with WIRE on the sides so they can climb.BUT the top lvl cant have wire, as if they step on it they will get a disese called bumble foot.you cant just go to the pet store and say OMG they are so cute lets get one.you need to learn about them.i hate ppl like u who just think it is so easy to go buy a pet because its cute.i bet u didnt even know about buble foot.





u did not do any research to own a pet. there fore, you are not fit to have a pet.i agree with ur mother that you SHOULD NOT have a pet as you do not care to research temperment and behavor of that animal.i bet u dont even know how to feed it properly.i always do research on a pet at least for a month before i decide to get one.

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.

Do Gerbils,Rats, or hamsters have different nutritional values for snakes?

Specifically I have a ball python who is a super picky eater.Do Gerbils,Rats, or hamsters have different nutritional values for snakes?
about the same. if you can afford gerbils its one of there natural prey items, but it will never look at a mouse/rat again.HAHAHAH your choice.Do Gerbils,Rats, or hamsters have different nutritional values for snakes?
Snakes get all their nutritional requirements from the rodents they eat. It is basically the same for the ones you have listed provided that they are of appropriate meal size for each individual snake. In the wild, the ball python's favorite food is a rodent called the jeraboa and, it resembles a hamster somewhat. That is why hamsters are sometimes used to provoke picky ball pythons, especially imported adults. Different rodents, like the ones on your short list, produce there own chemical signatures that the python picks up. If a python does not recognize the chemical signature as prey, a picky eater can refuse the rodent. Scenting mice and rats with hamster litter is one effective trick used on ball pythons that are problem feeders. Not only can this spark their appetite sometimes but, it also gets them used to eating mice or rats and identifying them as food..... Current work is being done to produce a jerboa/mouse hybrid especially for ball pythons. Ball pythons that normally fast during the winter months continue to feed when offered this hybrid mouse. It is believed that the hybrid mouse carries some of the chemical signatures that the jeraboa does so, because ball pythons are naturally and instinctively wired to recognize this particular scent, they feed on this hybrid mouse without hesitation.
Ball pythons are very picky eaters i they are bought straight into the uk from africa captive bread tend to be less fussy as there used to eating mice or rats. I have a ball python which has to be forced fed at times but will be happy to a gerbil as its what the commonly eat in the wild in africa. you can dust the gerbil with vitamin powders to keep it healthy. If you have any concerns or you need any info email me i will be happy to help you out.
