Help! First Rat need some advice!!!!!!!

[sharky]

Wheels are important for exercise but need to be fully enclosed apart from obvious side entrance.
I have read this on a few rat related websites. You might try getting a refund from said petshop and explain to them that open wire wheels are dangerous and can they order in some enclosed ones instead.
Avoid wheels with air holes too as apparently they can break their toes.
Hope this helps

I'll try but I doubt it, they had one in ALL of their displays for rats & mice.....I've taken it out now Thank you for the advice! I would have hated for him to get hurt
