About this animal

Rats are the most affectionate small pet we sell. They learn their names, come when called, solve puzzles and genuinely enjoy human company. The dumbo variety has low, round ears set on the side of the head. They must live in pairs or groups, and their short lifespan is the only real drawback.

Care at a glance

  • Environment

    18 to 24 °C, well ventilated. Respiratory health is everything

  • Housing

    Tall multi-level cage, minimum 80 × 50 × 80 cm for two, bar spacing 12 mm

  • Alone or in company

    Always two or more. A lone rat is a miserable rat

  • Lifespan

    2 to 3 years

  • Handling

    Wonderfully tame; they will ride on a shoulder all evening
