Rats need lots of play time. Rats need a good four hours of play time a day. Your probably wondering why you have to hold your rat so much. When you think about it, the least a human needs to be outside and moving each day to stay healthy, is a minimum of four hours. So that's why its important to hold your rat four hours a day. That may seem like a lot, but its actually not that much. There are many ways you can hold your rat. One of the easiest, is letting your rat sit on your shoulder. They can sit on your shoulder while your doing homework - if your a kid - or when your working, as long as your inside. Or some rats like to sit in socks, or in sweatshirt pockets. You can also build a sturdy, well constructed, fort for your rat, but always watch them to make sure they don't get hurt, or wonder off. Some rats also like hamster balls. But you have to get a ball big enough for them. Dwarf rats usually need a 7 and half inch ball, while regular rats usually need a 13 and a half inch ball. Make sure all of the doors are shut so none of them get away. If you have two rats they will keep each other company if your busy and you can't hold them. But don't not hold them if your not busy! Teaching your rat how to do a maze or its name is even holding it, as long as there out of there cage. There are numerous ways you can hold your rat and have lots of fun.
My rat loves to sit in washed socks,
she sometimes falls asleep in them.
