Makes it sound like a prison when, in reality, they enjoy being inside their homes just as much as a lot of us humans do.

Jack likes to steal all the food, because he is such a fatty lol... Gus likes to boss Jack around actually. In the beginning, we thought it was the other way around. If Jack tries to invade Gus's space, that is usually when a squabble will occur. I guess it's just siblings getting on each other's nerves.

I think you have a good point about giving them ways to use their intelligence. I'm always trying to come up with creative little toys for them. I have seen a DIY digging box before and did try to make one for Nibblet. Of course, that didn't work out quite like I had planned. Wish I could see what kind of box they created on the show you mentioned.

Jello boxes work well too. Do you do that with rats?

The expert said that the rats weren't getting enough stimulation. So he helped them create a habitat with all kinds of levels (like your cage). They also included a place for rats to dig.<br /><br />Until I saw that, I didn't know that digging was a rat skill.<br /><br />From what I saw, it's not size of the home that matters as much as giving the rats lots of ways to use their intelligence. Looks like you have lots of fun things for Jack and Gus to do.Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13768027087753712341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-78235398044137935982014-10-09T16:53:23.950-05:002014-10-09T16:53:23.950-05:00What an enormous house!What an enormous house!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03034825938128682200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-5179188046530037832014-10-09T16:08:54.652-05:002014-10-09T16:08:54.652-05:00Looks like a great cage to me!Looks like a great cage to me!Misaki @ misadventuresofMisakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12495659749225421880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-76038741916365636032014-10-09T15:58:39.677-05:002014-10-09T15:58:39.677-05:00It looks like a pretty swish rat condo!It looks like a pretty swish rat condo!My GBGV Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281486885814998377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382480381687088490.post-34028721896238627422014-10-09T15:31:37.903-05:002014-10-09T15:31:37.903-05:00That is actually the cage I would have really want...That is actually the cage I would have really wanted Alxandra!

These guys are much different though. You should visit YouTube and look up "Rats doing amazing tricks". You will be shocked at what they can do - I promise! They are very much like little dogs.
