Almost every night, my rats chew on the cage bars. I'ts hard for me to get sleep sometimes and I was just wondering why they do that and how can I stop them?
I have my rat in a 30 gallon aquarium. You can get them at most pet stores and a few pet stores will even make you good deals on them, like if you wanted to bring in the cage you have now for a trade in. My rat loves it. It has a screen top which has locks on it (a must). And for our situation, much cleaner and safer for our rat. We have cats that love to sit and watch Mousie Mousie (our rat) nightly and our rat loves to tease the cats to no end! But, for a full grown rat, I have found a 30 gallon tank is best. )
adding a wheel will definitely help. also providing interesting foods and chew toys will help as well. one thing that keeps my boys interested is hiding little bits of food in a little tub (digging box) of bedding. they dig around for it and it satisfies the need to forage and keeps them busy. hth!
Pea fishing is a fun game.My rats love that game too.A rat that don't like pea fishing is rare!
