Chapter 1: Rat Basics covers the fundamental principles of rat parenting. It's crucial to understand the rodent's behavior, habitat, and basic needs to ensure a harmonious household.
For a rat to feel at home, it's essential to provide a spacious cage with adequate ventilation. The cage should be well-ventilated, dry, and free from drafts, as rats are prone to respiratory issues.
When it comes to diet, rats are omnivores, so they require a balanced mix of high-quality pellets and fresh fruits and vegetables. Ensure the water is clean and accessible, as rats are meticulous about their hydration.
