Why is it important to go to an ethical rat breeder?

It is very important that you do research about the breeder you want to get rats from to make sure that their ethics are in line with pet guidelines and your own ethics.

A very common problem that we see is back yard breeders or feeder breeders selling their rats at very high price points. A lot of pet shops does this to.

These people don’t pay any attention to the genetics or keep health, temperament and longevity in mind when they breed. Their number 1 goal is money.

Ethical breeders will always breed with health and temperament in mind because their number 1 goal will be to produce healthy rats with good temperaments.

Make sure that you go to a reputable and ethical breeder if you choose to get your next rats from a breeder.

If you have any further questions don’t hesitate to send us a dm.

What to do if you get new rats?

Bringing home new rats can be quite stressful yet exciting at the same time.

To start of make sure that your new rats cage is already setup so that they don’t have to stay in the carrier to long. The transition from one home to another can be stressful for the rats so having their cage setup already will help quite a lot.

The next thing you should know is that it is best to leave your rats for a day or two just to get accustomed to their new surroundings. You can sit next to their cage and talk to them, over them treats ext. just keeping in mind that they may be a bit stressed out.

You should also always ask the people you are getting your rats from for a bit of their mix so that you can transition your babies over onto whatever you are going to feed them. If you switch them over instantly it can cause a runny tummy.

Lastly if you have any other rats already it is important to quarantine the new babies for at least 2 weeks before you introduce them to your new rats. This is to make sure that your nee babies doesn’t have any issues like mites that you need to deal with first.

Rats have open-rooted dentition, which means that their teeth grow continuously throughout their lives. Their teeth, which are specialized for gnawing, continue to grow for the rest of their lives.
