It’s 80 degrees in my room right now. The windows are open so there’s a slight breeze, but it’s not helping any. I’m so hot I feel like I could pass out, so I know these rats must be really hot as well. I put a dish of ice water in their cage to help them cool down, but I don’t know how much that’ll help since they seem to be completely avoiding it. I’m more worried about the 16 babies though since they’re all in a pile in a hammock… I don’t know how they could stand to sleep like that in this heat.
The only room that’s slightly cooler than mine is the bathroom, and their cage doesn’t fit in there. And Petco is 2 hours away…
I put them in my garage with a fan. They have some frozen cranberries and bananas… they seem happy x]
I made a teepee hammock by cutting 4 triangles and a square. i cut a hole in one of the triangles and then sewed the triangles to the square. Then sewed all the triangles together. But now i have one problem.. When my rats sit in it, the bottom falls! i need supports but i don’t know what to use or where to put it. I don’t want it to fall apart. What do i do?
Hi! I’m not terribly crafty, but I’d really like to learn how to make some things for my rats. I saw the rat hammock someone on Y/A made (I think it was Oh Boy). I would love to learn how to make that! Any ideas would be much appreciated.
i wanted to knit a ratty hammock for my lil rats. But all I have is acrylic yarn…is that safe for them to chew on and what not? or do i need to get cotton?
I feel like every time I put one up it is dismantled within a day or two. I have tried putting Eyelets into the corners but they still chew it. Any suggestions for the best thing to hang the hammock with? Should I use stronger fabric than fleece? I know not to use towels.
When my dogs chew their dog beds my mom puts a tiny bit of tobasco sauce around on the edges. I feel like that would be a bad idea with rats though. Ideas please!
