Are wooden houses suitable for Rats?
Until recently, Wood did not go together with Rats. This is because Rats leave small puddles on the interior of their enclosure. This is a way of marking their territory. The puddles are easy to wash from plastic, but with wood it was more difficult. Fortunately, there are now tools that can help with this. There are special urine removers available that neutralize and remove urine in no time. Spray a little urine spray on the spot where the urine is on the wood and let the product do its work. TIP : CSI Urine Spray and Urine Buster .
Are terracotta houses suitable for Rats?
Terracotta has an open structure. This is not useful, especially for small puddles, because it can soak into the material quite quickly. The urine spray can also offer a solution here. The big advantage of terracotta houses is the abrasive effect on the nails. When the animals walk over them, the nails wear out quite easily. The houses are also cool in the summer.
Are synthetic resin houses suitable for Rats?
This is a type of material that came to rodents from reptiles. A very nice material that is easy to clean. A nice side effect of synthetic resin is the natural look that can be given to it. Houses made of synthetic resin (polystyrene) can be beautifully shaped into a rock, tree trunk, etc. Very nice for a naturally furnished accommodation.
Which houses are suitable for Rats in the summer?
Rats are social animals that like to sleep together. This can get hot for the animals, especially in the summer. Nowadays there are cooling houses available for the animals that do not raise the temperature too high and provide cooling during hot days. This way the animals can stay together and don't get too hot. Cool materials include aluminum and terracotta. But houses made of grass/reed are also ideal for the summer due to the good ventilation.
How big should a house be for Rats?
Rats should at least have a larger house in which they can hide together. How large this house should be depends on the group size. The animals' personal preferences also play a major role. One Rat always wants to hang in the sputnik while the other Rat prefers to sleep in a small cozy house.
Can a willow bridge be used as a house for Rats?
Yes, that is also possible! A willow bridge can be used as a bridge, tunnel and sleeping house. The last option makes the willow bridge a fairly open house, ideal for the summer! The larger the willow bridge, the larger the sleeping house. For extra variation, the bridge can sometimes be used as a sleeping house and other times as a bridge or tunnel. This way the interior remains surprising for the animals.
