Five-Star Medical Care
Many people think that some pets don’t need a veterinarian when they actually do. However, ratties should see their trusted exotic vet annually for a wellness exam. Additionally, the vet may recommend more frequent visits depending on your rat’s health.

Habitat: Bigger is Better
As we mentioned in our blog regarding rat enclosure size, 2 to 2.5 cubic feet of space is the rule of paw perrat at A MINIMUM. Rats need plenty of room to stay healthy and exercise.
