Want a pet rat? Here's what they DON'T tell you!

If you’re thinking of getting a pet rat, trust me—I've made all the mistakes so you don't have to! Here are the biggest lessons I learned: 💔 Pitfall #1: Tiny cages are a NO. Small cages lead to sad rats! At least 0.5㎡ of space—aim for a 60cm cage minimum. 💩 Pitfall #2: Don’t mix bath sand and potty sand! Mixing them = room disaster. 🏃‍♀️ Pitfall #3: Too small a wheel? They'll hurt their backs! Go for a 17cm+ wheel, or better yet, 21cm for ultimate comfort. 🍭 Pitfall #4: Treats aren't meals. Limit treats like worms & seeds to 2-3 times a week. Their main food should be a balanced mix! ⚠️ Pitfall #5: NEVER put rats together unless they're from the same litter. They’re solo animals—fighting can get deadly! Anyone else have pet rat tips?
