Hi! So today I unexpectedly became a rat mom. He is very small and was being sold as a feeder, and currently I only have a 10 gallon tank to keep him in (I’ve learned this is horrible and have ordered the Critter Nation cage!!)
He has food, bedding, a few hides, and I’ve given him some cardboard chews for now. I’ve been searching for the proper cage setup and I am struggling with where to get things. Chewy has been my main source for my other animals needs but it’s hard to traverse when I don’t know what I’m looking for. Please recommendations for bridges, ledges, toys, the works!! I want to spoil this rat and his future brother(s) ASAP :)
Also I’ve done my fair share of research but any tips would be greatly appreciated. I wish I was better prepared but he was a (wonderful) unplanned surprise 🫠
TLDR; Recommendations on where to get good things for cage setups and what the items are called so I can research them
