Non Binary Transgendered Teddy Bear Hamster LOL

Non Binary Transgendered Teddy Bear Hamster OYE Vey!

Non Binary Transgendered Teddy Bear Hamster that's even better 😂😂😂

I choked on my chips 😂😂

lol! Tink SHREDS apart cardboard. The PVC is holding up extremely well!

Kierstin Maye ,make tubes get from rugs and tie them to your cages they love them.

Or commentary whatever lol

It’s been hit or miss whenever I go to DT. They do sell them online and you have to buy at least 24. I’ve never done this. I also use newspaper and brown crinkle paper, changing it out daily.

Thank you 💖 I have a second one with a few items in it and hope to do more in the future

It's now 7 years ago and still good :)

Aren't they so soft?

I had no idea that they are still open. Ping pong balls are so fun with rats! They recently got in some new baby blankets that are perfect for baskets.

@@elliechasingsunrises Yeah I checked just to be sure & yup they're essential. They have unsalted/unsweetened nuts & seeds for food mixes too. They're small but it works!

@@lavishjules1886 That is good to know! I know that some Dollar Trees have freezer/fridge food. The ones near me are rather small so they don't.

Those are a great option! Glad you found something you like.

We’ve started using the 4 inch ones because they are light weight and easier to clean than the 3 inch ones. We still have all of our 3 inch ones and they’ve gone through 12 rats without damage! Highly recommend!

Thanks ☺️

HammyHouse lol I'm not a fan of hamsters but I think they'd enjoy something like a ball pit too

Lily A. Haha maybe but mine would probably eat the balls!

HammyHouse hm that's no good! I wonder if you could make an edible alternative like little willow balls or little pine cones

You could get large wooden beads just make sure it's a wood that's safe for hamsters

I think?..

Yes!

+Jess Ann yay I have a ton from last year

You’re welcome!

Typically plastics are safe for rats to chew since they do not ingest it. I haven't had a problem with my girls (9 of them now) with plastic balls, baskets, or the PVC pipe. It has been very safe! I also include a ton of lava ledges and other pet safe pumice for them to chew on, and they tend to prefer that.

Oh no! I’m glad she was able to get out okay 💖 we opt for the 4” ones since they’re lighter and have a larger opening.

If you are using baskets for the potty, might I suggest getting some Ware Lock N Litter pans. They work great and are pretty cheap.

Rats get respiratory infections easily, the sand could end up giving them these problems. Sand is not a good idea, but tissues and fleece snippets are good

That’s so exciting!! They are such wonderful pets 💖

Jess Ann I had them when I was about 9 and they we like my favorite animal xo

For wiggly baskets pick up some zip ties at the dollar store or hardware store and secure the baskets to the sides of the cage. I had to do that with mine, too. Rats are pretty cautious around unstable baskets.

Jess for getting cheap litterboxs with grate in.where do I buy them?

I need to stop them from going under my pad I use for 3 story cage

Chewy.com has some or Amazon

I tried the ball pit and they ate them....that’s really not safe 😬

Yes

Hi there, so happy to hear you are taking care of those sweet rats! These two girls were around a year old at the time of filming. Rats are considered adults around 6 months, but I find they don’t reach full size until 12-16 months. I have other videos that have my tiny 6-8 week old girls and they are super tiny in comparison. Female rats will generally fit in the palms of your two hands quite comfortably. If your rats are under 6 months, they will need a baby rat foot like oxbow baby rat food. Then, they can switch to oxbow adult rat food. That is a very high end brand of food for rats and safe for them to eat. Unfortunately a lot of foods targeted towards pocket pets are bad for them. Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help! I’m also on Instagram @jess.anns if you need to send a dm with pictures of your rats for any help.

I use a variety! Including: Gerber Puffs Gerber Lil’ Crunchies (Apple Sweet Potato) Old Fashioned Oats (in moderation) Meat, veggie, and fruit baby food Cut up veggies and fruit Frozen veggies like corn and peas in dish with water (pea fishing on hot days) I always check a safe rat food list before giving them anything. I also read through the ingredients and make sure I’m choosing a flavor that is appropriate for them. I avoid pet store treats. Safe food list I use: pethelpful.com/rodents/Rat-Nutritional-Information-Can-my-Pet-Rat-Eat-This

@@elliechasingsunrises thank you I've been thinking in getting rat my parents finally said yes I've been looking for treats for a while know thanks

@@Bee_Wagner_ You're welcome! Congratulations on getting your first rats! I know it can be difficult to convince others that they make incredible pets. You'll find that a lot of their treats can be found right in the grocery store or even in your fridge.

My girls have big cages (Double Critter Nations) and they still desperately need out time. Having out time is important for stimulation and socializing. If you can't do an hour every day, aim for half an hour every day or an hour every other day. Make sure you give them a lot of toys, foraging items, etc. A big cage is only as good as the amount of stuff in it. Get creative - news paper, boxes stuffed with crinkle paper, scattered treats.

Lol you did answer your own question they might enjoy it, I have my own mice and I'm excited to try this stuff with them It also depends on the type of mouse, usually they would like it but yet again there are shy or lazy mice so it depends on your mouse

Damien Grenier hey! rats can show affection or curiosity by nibbling your fingers. sometimes they can draw a little bit of blood but usually they bite you because either they think you have food or because they want to play. your rats are new to your home so i think they might just be curious! or they may be undersocialized. also i think it’s usually best to get new toys for rats bc they can get bored with the same things! make sure to get toys that are safe for them :-)

Jane has a great answer 🙂 I hope you and you rats are doing great!

Rats will typically chew but not eat plastic, wood, and other materials. You can look for the little plastic pieces they drop from chewing and spitting them out. I would pick up the chewed ping pong balls as you find them. Unfortunately they don’t last all that long if your rats are super chewers. We also enjoy the hard practice golf balls that have holes in them.

@@elliechasingsunrises thanks! I did find bits and pieces and have sinced removed all of them. On another note. My baby has been sneezing and what i assume is congestion. Most likely respiratory issues? Are there other at home remedies to help with this irritation. It hasn't affected his eating or playfulness. Just lots of nose blowing. Cage is cleaned on the regular.

Check out my video on upper respiratory infections. If it’s a new rat, it could be new home sneezes. If not, it could be a URI. Rats don’t get colds or mild congestion. Rats are predisposed to mycoplasma which can flare up and cause upper respiratory infections. Rats have a very sensitive respiratory system. If your rat does have a URI, you’ll need to visit a vet and get antibiotics. There aren’t home remedies that will stop the progression of a URI.

I love the website Chewy. It's cheaper than the stores and you can qualify for free two day shipping if you spend enough (not hard to do, I order their food and litter there). I'd definitely get your rats a bunch of lava ledges, any pet quality pumice, safe-wood, or any other chewable items. I love their space pods, hammocks, rope nets, etc. Definitely worth a try.

Rats like a full cage with all types of places to crawl into and hang out. They especially love space pods, since 2-3 can easily sleep together and cuddle. You can also get or make hammocks, and check out the dollar store for other types of baskets that can be made into places to hang out.

Animals lover for the girl who wants rats if your in florida.pasco county West coast get on Facebook

I found mine in a really good pet-store and there really healthy and never had any problems I recommend pet-stores.

They aren't grouchy - it's quite normal for male rats to be less active than females. Males tend to be "lazier" which makes them the perfect cuddlers. My girls can be skittish around hanging baskets, too. That's not uncommon since rats are naturally prey animals, thus making them hesitant of many new things. Rats love rearranging, so you'll find them moving blankets and boxes around. I'd suggest spending time with your males in a small area such as a couch, bed, or other safe enclosed area. You can even wear a sweatshirt or have a blanket over you for them to feel safe in. Try feeding them wet baby food to get them to warm up to you. Are the rats new to you? I do not suggest neutering. It's often unnecessary and to me the risk isn't worth it unless they're highly aggressive. Keep at it and enjoy your furry friends.

I think I mentioned that in the video - I was trying to get everything from dollar tree for this specific vid. I’ve ordered the ball pit balls on amazon, too.

Grant Boyd Yup! Fancy rats are already domesticated and a well socialized rat can be taught many tricks, just like dogs

Some places rats are trained to sniff out bombs. Rats definitely Are domesticated and can be passed down amazing socail skills throughout generations. I love my little girl's, They can't sniff out bombs but they sure can sniff out Cheerios! Lol.

You can teach him “come” so if he starts chewing you can call him over

Animallady I know my rats would eat it so I wouldn’t recommend it

As long as they are corn starch packaging peanuts, they are safe!

I’m sorry that makes you mad 😅😂

Destiny De La Rosa your attitude is filthy

Nobody asked you.
