A rat in the house or how to keep it properly
If you think that getting a cat and a dog is trivial and simply troublesome, then you can think about buying a decorative rat.
The rat needs to get a spacious cage so that it can not only eat and sleep there, but also walk. They are very curious animals, and a couple of toys would not hurt for them. These can be slides or ladders. There must be a wheel. Rats are very mobile animals and will subsequently suffer from diseases of the musculoskeletal system. The cage should be covered with sawdust or fine hay. We also need to put up a house for the rat. She also needs to be given old rags, napkins, and scraps of cloth (not much). The rat sets up a house for himself. Do not forget about the drinking bowl. A rodent can simply turn over a plate of water.
We feed the rat properly
The decorative rat, like its wild relatives, is not whimsical in food. This does not mean at all that it is necessary to give her everything in a row and at any time.
The amount of food that you give the rodent should be in moderation. If there are leftovers in the cage, then it is necessary to reduce the portion of food. Since rats are nocturnal animals, it is necessary to add more food in the evening, and less in the morning. Feed, as you already guessed, only in the morning and evening.
It is also worth considering that a rodent needs to have its teeth ground throughout its life, so it needs to be given appropriate food (even the same branches) or buy a special rodent chalk at a pet store.
What can and should not be fed to rats
There's nothing fancy about the rat diet.:
- vegetables, greens, fruits. It is a storehouse of vitamins and amino acids. Vegetables include cabbage, potatoes, turnips, and carrots. Vegetables are given both raw and boiled. Fruits can be given to the animal almost everything, only after peeling the seeds. It is better to give few berries and preferably strawberries and strawberries. Greenery is just a paradise for a rodent. You can give lettuce, dill, parsley, celery, plantain leaves, dandelion, clover.
Meat and fish. It is a common mistake to think that a rat only needs plant-based food. She should be given some low-fat boiled meat or fish without seeds at least once a week. You can also give a small piece of freshly frozen bacon.
Cereals, dried fruits and nuts are also necessary in the diet of the animal. They contain a lot of protein, minerals and fatty acids necessary for the animal.
Dairy products: low-fat milk, cottage cheese, cheese will also be a good treat for the animal.
As you can see, rats are not whimsical in their care and there is a diet for them in every refrigerator. Earn $50+ per friend with 1xbet promo code free bet in their registration.
