Plains rats

[mysstic]

they very very clean! no smell at all. need to clean only once/mth. Or every 3 weeks if you want perfect clean. They not like the normal mice or rats at all. They don't even look like the house mice or rat, this is actually very stupid to call them plains rat. They more of a kangaroo type. They tidy, & wash themselves and each other all the time. They so funny. I keep them in a reptile enclosure with side ventilation, on the balcony. I got only these two.

AAARGH I lost my original post .

I got a few from Mc buggsy a while ago. They aren't a cuddly pet but really really cute and entertaining to watch.

Domestic mice reek in comparison... I've never noticed a smell with my rats, they're litter trained and kept clean so maybe they don't get the chance to become smelly.

I'm keeping them on coir, or kitty's crumble.
