Chewha Husbandry for beginners
We currently have 11 Chewhas or Rats, We have learned a few things I would like to pass along as they really are a wonderful pet.
First a large cage is a must, we have a double critter nation,I have heard it will hold 20 rats.
My Sons room is 109 square foot. 11.5 X 9.5 ft. that is ruffly 1 chewha per 10 sq,feet.
Never over rat a room.
They are litter box trained and have 2 of them,dumping the boxes every 2 or 3 days with an air purifier running 24 /7 and washing their blankets and fleece 2x a week, we mitigated having much oder pretty well.
We have 5 water bottles and they eat 3 bowls of food a day. That means the litter boxes are well filled in 3 days time.
We go through 40 pounds of food in under 2 months. And they do love their treats every morning flavored yogurt drops and mini cookies.
They get a couple hours a day to run and play in the house . We call it free for all time.
