I've been using Suebee's diet for about 6 months now and it works fabulously for some of my rats, but I've noticed two of mine mostly ignore the dry dog food and concentrate only on the seeds/grains. Anything anyone would recommend?

Your one rat looks just like a mini possum!

As a previous rat owner who can not have rats currently, I'm living vicariously through your pictures . Moar! Edit: saw this on a friend's Facebook and had to share! http://db.tt/9wl68ypI Beowulf fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Feb 12, 2013 |

Fraction posted:Alright, so has anyone got any tips for catching a really loving fast rat? I've managed to get Stumpy out of the cage twice, and she's been here over a week now. I feel pretty bad about it, but holy gently caress she is fast. I don't know how a three legged rat moves so fast. I've never had problems catching skittish rats before, even terrified baby rats that fell on the floor and had to be grabbed before they became dogfood, but I just cannot grab this slippery little rat and it is infuriating. I had a rat from pet smart that wasn't properly socialized at all and was the same way. I think she may have also been partially blind but it was infuriating trying to catch her. I usually just left the cage on the floor with the door open abs she'd get back in eventually. This was in a secluded room, however. Good luck!

If you have to keep your rats out of reach of cats, and you don't have one of those critter nation cages, I put mine on top of one of those plastic 3 shelf units from like home depot or Lowe's. It's tall enough to keep them mostly out of sight and mind of the cats, and there's really nowhere the cats can jump to paw at them.

Also, if you have another cage to put any other rats you have into, put her open cage near wherever she spends most of her time hiding. Worked for me when I had a rat that refused to come back to me after playtime. She smelled her litter and went "home" Good luck!

I've found it also depends on how hard/thick the plastic is. If it's good quality and thick, they find it a little harder to get their teeth on it. Metal is probably the way to go though.
