Can I just say thank you for being real and stating it’s okay not to be able to free roam your rats each and every day for hours at a time.. I think this “you must allow them to free roam for 2-3 hours everyday otherwise you’re the worst pet owner in the world” is quite a damaging statement that I see a lot of people preach on rat care websites online and this overwhelms people and or makes them feel so crappy as a pet owner, so thank you so much 🧡 also really important though to ensure cages are active, enriching and stimulating for the animals exactly as you said! 🥰 X

I free-roamed my rats for the first time yesterday, I've had them for a little over a month but they kept biting and scratching so I didn't wanna make them come out of the cage yet, as every time I walked in they hid. I have a little closet in my room and cleaned it out and put blankets and shoeboxes with tissue paper down inside. I wore a big hoodie, they were hiding in the blankets and clothes I put down but most of the time they were climbing all over me and playing with my hair. I'm so happy I waited because every time I tried to pick them up before they didn't like it.

Awesome ideas, dear Emiology, your rats are blessed with having you as owner!
I will sure show this to my lady so we could improve our boys free roam sessions.
Thank you.

This is so helpful. I’ve just gotten my first rats after a break of about four years, and now we have a dog! Free roam time looks very different for this generation of rats and your videos are helping so much.

So many good tips! When you were saying bathroom free roaming, my mind immediately jumped to bath.. then I remembered rats are MUCH bigger than gerbils, somehow I don't think they'd be too impressed with just a bath to roam in 😅

Honestly you are the best rat creator. So kind to people who use different techniques than you, and willing to admit that even though the most ideal situation is one way, a rat can thrive in less than ideal situations. It's not neglect to have a less-than-perfect animal care!
When I saw you talk about hormonal aggression a while back, combined with the fact you've said not being able to free-roam every day is fine, it made me so grateful. I struggled so hard with three rats who couldn't be together for months, at the same time as I was ranking up vet bills faster than I could pay them (no job at the time) and your honesty helped me calm down and see solutions rather than wallow in self-pity. Knowing someone with as great rat care and many resources can also struggle with things made me feel so much better. We like to come off as perfect, but truth is that most of us went through phases of life where we had to prioritise. Again, thank you so much. You have inspired me so much to give these little cretins the best life possible! And I love your free-roam area.

Fabulous free roam area. The cat tree is a brilliant Idea and they have such a variety of bings to entertain them.

[Creatureexotics]

I tend to freedom 4 or 5 days a week but for around 2 hours a time - fellow POTS lady here! 🙌 They have a big liberta explorer cage, and a group of 6 to entertain each other. Some days I open the cage and within 20 mins they're all back in asleep!

Was lovely seeing the boys free roam. When I had rats I use to have lots of fun times free roaming them

[avelynewalk]

your animals must be the happiest <3

[alien-bass]

A big box full of tissue and smaller boxes, straw/hay, tubes, your old junk mail will keep them happy for ages.

I have to say that you should be so proud of what you have created for your rats, not just free roam which is AMAZING, but their enclosures also, you should become a designer for massive houses for the rodents, I am so impressed! Your mouse enclosures are also amazing, you obviously have the flair!🐇🐀🤳🐀🧸

[sherryscaviescritters]

My girls are happy when they come out for fun. I don’t get them free out for everyday. But I do let them come to me to hang out on my shoulder every day.

[daqtaghhasfibers]

I fell head over heels in love with the wooden castle. My girls are absolutely getting that one. You have just about the sweetest sweetest boys ever <3 Thank you for all good tips!

[Ana-nog]

Omg the rats have such a nice room they must be so happy! ❤

[kot_ktomik]

When I saw the photos I immediately failed in love. Unfortunately Iive too far away so I did not have possibility to take them. Magpie looks exactly like my mice. And I still look for the mice who will be in the same colours as Robin.
I am very happy they found the new home and hope they will be happy.

[Barn_Editzzz]

This is all so cute! The clear treat circle kinda reminds me of a vending machine…they know exactly what they want and the pay is the brain usage 😂

[hey_itskiras]

My dog is really scared of hamsters and mice and rats last time I showed him my hamster I ran out side and hid under the out side decking it’s was so funny but now I know not to do that with rats thank u (my hamster past away last year) - keep up the great content.

[stevrgrs]

That rat “aquarium” habitat is sweet !!

I want to do the same thing. I just made them a 24” x 24” maze out of cardboard and they loved it :)
