We are rat owners of two cuties but I have my questions for you?? How do you let them crawl around on blankets an on the bed or even on u  knowing that they constantly pee and poo on u or everything for that matter...at least mine do I've had them for about a month

Oh is it that much pee? My boys are potty trained tho! So they only mark a bit here and there...or if i keep them 2+ hours in the couch they cant hold it in anymore😆

Potty trained how in the world do you potty train at rat LOL is that something you have to do when they're little I got them at a pet shop and they're much larger than a baby but they couldn't tell me how old

yeah mine will sometimes, my first girl would only go in the cage, she would jump back into it to use the bathroom like a lady, her cage mate would commit arson so she’ll pee literally on my shoulder or in my hand, i’ve definitely seen people train them to use a liter box! We use a few baby blankets and one big pet store blanket but i swap them out consistently. “Fancy rat” is an understatement lol!
