I want to adopt two rats (I know they need friends) but I really have no idea how to take care of them.
My first question is: How big does their cage need to be? I have one that is 2.5 square feet - is that too small? Also, do you think their cage could be in the same room as the guinea pigs cage, or would they annoy each-other?
Second: What do they eat? I know they eat fresh veggies but do they need pellets/mix too? Is one kind better than another kind?
Three: What do they need in their cage? Do they need hides? Toys?
Last one: Can I use fleece for their bedding? I also heard something about litter-trained rats, what's that? Also, what's a nesting box?
