October 7th, 2010

Our 18mth old household tom, Alfie, has recently noticeably gained weight. He’s always been quite well-built, in a muscular way, but now he’s decidedly podgy.

Does anyone have any suggestions for fun ways to play with pet rats? Any chewable household found items? Or ideas for toys or homemade gyms? And if possible, how do you play with pet rats on surfaces if you don’t want them to pee so much? Such as carpeted floors or beds?
