Bi-odor products

Because my boys are so stinky, I got an information to use Bi-odor products by Marshall. This product is very easy to use. Just a few pumps in a water and it should eliminate their smell of their pee and poo in about one week. This is our 4th day. I cannot wait to experience the results in one week.

Pasta Salad

I saw on one of the website of the rat breeder that they feed their rats pasta salad (of course no oil etc). So I tried it today. I cooked some pasta, and put some carrots, broccoli and peas. They love it! Also their potty training is going well. They most part go to their potty, except they pee on their hammocks so I have to wash it often to prevent it from smelling. Also I started doing out of cage time on my bed, which is easier since I put their cage next to my bed, so I don't have to take them downstairs to use dining table for out of cage time. They like it this way so that they can go back and forth between their cage and the bed to do the maze and get treats etc. They are so much more comfortable with me and I am really enjoying them.

Potty training

Boys are getting better at potty. I use Yesterday's news as a litter. I finally removed bedding on the bottom of the cage and replaced it with baby fleece blanket. I really hope our boys will go only in potty. They also pee and poop on their hammocks. I don't want them to sleep on their poop. Cleaning every day to keep their clean. Hopefully by the end of this month, they will completely potty trained.

I love my rats!

I just have to say this. They are so sweet. I really love my rats. I just want to spend time with them all day long! They are absolutely amazing animals! They are leaning their potty pretty well so far. I love that they are constantly leaning and growing.
They are also absolutely beautiful animals. They are so adorable!

Made own hammock, tunnel and got plastic tubing from Lowes

Finally I made hand made hammock and a fabric tunnel on my own. I also got 4 inch plastic tubings from Lowes for outside cage time for my boys. They absolutely love them! Latte has been warming up a lot more today. He is progressing every day. He is trusting more and more.

Baby food

Our new addition Latte adopted from Candirats is doing great. He already comes to me for treats and he comes to me when I open the gate. Still little bit shy, but I am so pleased since it is only his 2nd day with me. I really love rats from Candice. Also since he is little older, he is much calmer and I really like that. He can just sit on my lap or on my shoulder.

I had out of cage time with boys at dinning table. I am thinking about going to Lowes tomorrow to buy some plastic fitting tubing for their outside cage time to have fun.

I also tried baby food with my boys. They love it I fed them sweet potato baby food. We had good time.

Adopted one more rat!

This past Sunday, I went to pick up one more rat from Candirats! He is a half brother of Coco. I think I am going to name him Latte (He is more like coffee color than chocolate like Coco.) He is very calm and slow. He is still scared of me to come out to me except getting his treats, but we are getting to know each other. I feel like my rat family is complete with 4 boys. I also learned that we can trim rats' nails. That is something that is scary but I will try.
