You need to get a cagemate, rats are social animals and unless you are literally around him 24/7, he needs a playmate. Make sure the rat is healthy and of the same gender, though!

Here are some things to put in the cage…
-Hammocks
-Tubes/Tunnels
-Chew toys
-Cat/Ferret/Bird Toys
-Hidey houses
-Anything they can climb
-A wheel at least 12 inches in diameter
-A large water bottle
-A large ceramic food dish
-Carefresh bedding
-Harlan Teklad Labblocks OR Oxbow Regal Rat food

you need the essentials like a food dish, a water bottle, and a hidey safe place. you can use hammocks, igloos, wooden houses, cardboard boxes, flower pots, etc. as a safe place for your rats to retreat. there should be a few so your rat has a selection. also rats need toys. i use squeaky mice, balls with bells in them, some tissue paper for them to tear up, cardboard for them to shred, dangling toys, and puzzles. cat toys and dog toys work well for rats. you can also give the rat a small rawhide to keep his teeth in check. tie grapes or carrots to the top of the cage with some ribbon. also make puzzles for them to figure out. my rats have figured out how to open milk cartons this way. have fun, and so will your rat.

Apply for a job as an assistant at a local pet store like Petsmart or Petco. Even animal grooming places need assistants. Stay on the job until you feel you have learned what you need to be a good animal groomer. Many people get their start with a mobile grooming service, or maybe, once you are trained, you can advertise in your neighborhood and make house calls.

It shouldn’t take more than a year or so to be ready to have your own business–if that’s what you want.

If I could, Id say mail it to me!! But sadly I live all the way in California, and can't help. I say look for an animal shelter, or put an ad somewhere. Gl.

large tubes or tunnels,
ladders suspended horizontally with toys/fruit/popcorn hanging from the rungs,
cat litter trays filled with bedding attached to the cage bars with large clips,
extra shelves,
thick ropes,
swings,
parrot toys,
plastic balls,
small boxes with treats inside,
paper and paper bags
large wheels (not with open bars).

free and disposable toys are excellent such as stuffed paper bags and treat boxes.

Comment on Poll: Is it animal cruelty to only feed your pet the cheapest food? by bookworm530

How does more expensive food equate better nutrition ?? We buy BULK feed for our dogs (4), horses (6), hogs (3) and milk cows (2)… it costs 75% as much as the TV advertised stuff and has the SAME ingredients !!

Oh, and we afford veterinary care because we have one in the family AND we own the land that the local veterinary hospital stands on.

Spending lots of money doesn’t equate to a happy and well cared for pet… time and LOVE provide that.
