can they really eat chocolate?
how warm do i need to keep it in my house?
can they be alone for an intire day like once every month?
what is the best bedding for rats?
is it ok for the to eat paper and cardboard?
Thanks a bunch!
also can you train them to go in a litter box?
can you use rocks intstead of beding?
* It depends on the individual rats... some get along, some don't. However, usually 2 males get along fine... especially good chances if they're the same age when you get them/get them at the same time.
* Not really. Single level cages are better than multi-level cages, as rats aren't as flexible/agile as certain other rodents. Also, you'll want something with a solid bottom, so their legs don't get caught (as they will). Also, the bigger the better.
* They can eat chocolate, but it's not good for them. It's not a hazard to them like dogs and cats, but is still very sweet, and rats are prone to obesity (and tumors as a result of it) and diabetes... so it's best to keep it at a minimum. But if they get ahold of some, you don't have to freak. I give mine a *tiny* bit as a treat from time to time.
* Temperature isn't too specific. If it's comfortable for you, it'll be comfortable for them. Give them lots of bedding (old shirts, etc...) the nestle in if they're cold.
* Yeah, they can be alone for a bit. But they're very social and prefer being with people. But as long as they have food and water, they'll be fine.
* Paper bedding. DO NOT USE WOOD BEDDING! Rats have very weak respiratory symptoms, and wood (cedar, oak, etc...) bedding can cause them serious illness and even kill them (their lungs close up and they can't breathe). So paper bedding, ONLY PAPER BEDDING, minimally processed/dust free, is best (can be found at any pet store).
* They won't eat paper and cardboard. They might tear it up to nest, but likely won't eat it. If they do... it's like if a human eats it... not great for us, but won't kill us, either.
EDIT re your added details:
* You can train them... however, don't put anything except paper bedding in that litter box. They'll actually take it upon themselves to pick one spot of their cage they go in, and most rats, upon picking that spot, will ONLY go in that spot (even if you're letting them run around - they'll go into their cage to use the bathroom).
* No, you can't use rocks. For one thing, they're choking hazards for any mammal (reptiles, fish, etc... have unique jaws, etc... that don't make it such a hazard). Also, the point of the bedding is to absorb the ammonia of their urine... which rocks won't do. If the odor isn't absorbed, then they can suffer from respiratory illness from the odor of their own excrement (likewise, you need to clean the cage at least once or twice a week, and scoop the poop out from time to time). Use only paper bedding sold at pet stores specifically for rats.
