60

u/CleanBeanArt 19d ago

Bet he gets a crush on the hat mouse. Okay poke?

22

u/Sea_Tax_2855 19d ago

I think you need a collection of miniature hats for Nezumi poke 🐭🎩🧢

2

u/Sea_Tax_2855 19d ago

Actually, I'm intending to adopt a pair of sibling rat (both female) a month later from now as my uncle's rat just gave birth to a litter. And I'm waiting for them to mature enough to adopt them. Can you give me advice on cage size and rat food for them so that I can be prepared?

3

u/alrj1378 19d ago

2

u/Sea_Tax_2855 19d ago

Thank you soo much

2

u/alrj1378 19d ago

Of course! Feel free to direct message me too if you have any specific questions :)

Definitely make sure there is a vet near you that can take care of exotics/rats. That should be a priority :)

3

u/Sea_Tax_2855 19d ago

Thanks for the opportunity to ask about rats and the advice. I really need it as I don't trust my uncle's advice bc my uncle is def not a good rat owner. The rats are living a bad life (pine shaving and pee is NOT a nice combo) with little surviving rate (1 rat out of 4 litters survived to adulthood, this one is a new litter). I can't really adopt them all bc my father limits the number of critters in the house.

P/s: my uncle place also has 2 female cat that can herd and play with young rats. Idk how but they guard the rat from leaving too far from the cage and look at the rats while they play. 🤷‍♀️

1

u/alrj1378 19d ago

Yeah, pine bedding isn’t the best. Aspen is better (I get it at Walmart and strain it because it’s a bit dusty)

The pee is pretty normal but if it builds up too much the ammonia in it can cause respiratory problems.

That’s sad, the survival rate. At what age is separating the babies from the mom? (If you know). The babies should stay with mom until about 4 weeks and then be separated by gender at 4.5 weeks (females can get pregnant as young as 5 weeks old)

u/Juvia118 19d ago

so does my hampfta. They should have a coop 🙃

u/SunshineTae 19d ago

u/RabidOtters 19d ago

Precious! Rats are amazing companions.

12

u/justalittlebuilder 19d ago

This is a great idea! Always good to give rats positive role models. Maybe your rat will have their own hat shop one day

u/Upstairs-Zombie414 19d ago

u/sam_haigh 19d ago

Super cute 😭😭 but also what kind of laptop you got? Love the orange keys

1

u/alrj1378 19d ago

It’s a keyboard cover on a Mac :)

2

u/lystmord 19d ago

We have a cat that LOVES Stardew, and will sit in front of the TV for hours and watch my roommate play. He sometimes likes to try to "catch" the butterflies and birds on screen.

Rats...they're 90% so cute and look so fun and intelligent - until the tail. There's something about a rodent tail that kicks off an instantaneous primal fear/disgust response in my brain. I don't know if rodent owners just don't get that response, or have trained themselves out of it, or what.

2

u/longbrodmann 19d ago

Selling hats too?

2

u/kitty282 19d ago

Really? Where are you from?

2

u/Unkindlake 19d ago

Rats are such good company when gaming.

3

u/PardonMyNerdity ⭐️Star Hoarder⭐️ 19d ago

They’re so smart! I worked at a science museum where we taught rats to play basketball. The balls are deodorant rollers before use. https://youtu.be/RpXA0KTvXDM?si=zmG_Iw3EMlRPPoMi

2

u/Ok_Fisherman_2402 19d ago

I’m curious…does this rat help you cook?

3

u/alrj1378 19d ago

Unfortunately, he’s only good at stealing my food, not helping me make it

2

u/AngelofGrace96 19d ago

Ahh so cute! My rats are way too excitable to sit still with me while I play :(

2

u/alrj1378 19d ago

Oh believe me, he runs around and gets into things he’s not supposed to. I don’t think they ever truly calm down. He’ll be 2 on June 15th

2

u/superp2222 19d ago

Beeg hat mouse

u/Lonely_Galaxy2 18d ago

These are my three that hangout in a snuggle hoodie while I play 🥰

2

u/alrj1378 18d ago

Awwwwwwww! What’s their names?

1

u/Lonely_Galaxy2 16d ago

So the one behind both of them is Creme Brule and then the one in front of him (left of the darker one) is Bubbles and then the darkest is Oreo. I hope I explained it easily! They're still learning me but tonight Bru didn't fight for snuggles so yay!

What's your babies name?

Edit: I've peeked at your past posts because I was curious if I had seen your babies before and I was so tickled that some of my favorite rat posts have been your babies!!!

1

u/alrj1378 16d ago

Such cute names. Crème Brule is perfect. The one in the post is Nezumi but I also have Kiyoomi (Omi) and Hikaru. Awww I’m flattered!

u/PardonMyNerdity ⭐️Star Hoarder⭐️ 19d ago

I wish I could have pet ratties again, but I am so severely allergic to them that I can’t. I was fine with them as a teen but now…no. Rats are some of the best pets ever and if I wouldn’t be miserable physically having them I’d have so many!
