My rats get hands on out of the cage time only once a month or so from me because of how bad my allergies to them have gotten. I can't touch them without getting hives and if I accidentally rub my eye after touching them my whole face swells up but I'm too emotionally attached to give them up. I give them lots of toys and new stuff to explore instead and build a "rat patio" for the younger ones to play on. I also feed Harlan Tekland lab blocks. They get veggies, fruit and proteins a couple of times a week but my rats have always done really well on it and will turn up their nose at treats for the blocks. I have a 4 year old rat right now so I think they do pretty well on it. I scoop my cat's litter every couple of days and If I'm going to switch out the whole litter I let it go for longer. The dogs spend too much time in their crates. They sleep in their crates and are in there when I'm at work. I can't trust them not to eat the walls and kill themselves if I'm not watching them.

When I was in high school I had a parakeet named Hedwig. I took care of him and loved him dearly but I got really annoyed with how he would only eat some of his seed mix and leave the rest. I decided he would eat the stuff she didn't like if he got hungry enough and left him alone for a long weekend while my family visited my grandma with the seeds he didn't like. When I got home he was dying on the bottom of the cage. I blew into the seed dish and the hulls flew everywhere. He ate what he didn't like but he starved because there wasn't enough food for him. I have never forgiven myself for that. I'm sorry Hedwig.
