Fancy Rat Information

Welcome to the Fancy Rat Information page at Cherokee Flats! Here, we aim to provide you with essential insights into these wonderful creatures.

Busting Common Rat Myths

Let's clear up some misconceptions! Fancy rats are extremely social, highly intelligent, and can even be litter trained, making them fantastic companions.

The Importance of Companionship

If you're considering getting a fancy rat, remember that they are social animals. Keeping them in same-sex groups of two or more is highly recommended. Your rat needs a cuddle buddy for when you're away!

The Rewards of Rat Ownership

Having a sweet, snuggly furball makes it all worthwhile. Little rattie kisses don't hurt either! The affection and companionship these little creatures offer are truly rewarding.

Health and Husbandry

While tumors and abscesses are extremely common in rats, here at Cherokee Flats, we thankfully don't usually see that issue. Maintaining a clean, healthy environment and providing excellent husbandry is key to your little ones living a long, happy, spoiled life.
