This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pet rats, also commonly known as 'Fancy Rats, ' are a domesticated version of the common brown rat and are therefore part of the species known as 'Rattus Norvegicus.' However household rats have been selectively bred for looks, color, size and temperament over the course of the last 100 years. They have been selectively bred to the point where there is almost no immediately obvious similarities between the household rat and their wild ancestors. Household pets are less aggressive towards humans and other rats due to the fact that they do not have to scrounge for food and defend territory. Rats make clean, intelligent and affectionate animals which show a similar level of loyalty to a household dog. Due to their intelligence and loyalty they have been anecdotally referred to as 'low-maintenance dogs.' However despite this nickname rats are relatively high maintenance in comparison to other common pet rodents - such as mice and ferrets. Before purchasing any pet it is important to understand that as a pet owner you are responsible for the care and wellbeing of your pet. It is important to try and learn as much as you can about the animal you are considering to keep as a pet to make sure that your lifestyle, household and financial status are suited to provide your pet with the best possible care. This guide has been designed to provide you with both precise and concise information about a chameleon's basic needs to help you provide your pet with the best quality care practices. This book was previously published by 'Pet Care Professionals' under the same name.

As with all editions in the Complete Care Made Easy series, Rats offers readers information about selecting the right pets from good sources and acquiring all of the home essentials (for rats: cage, toys, bedding, and furnishings). The book discusses food options and the importance of feeding a rat a healthy, low-cal, low-fat diet based on fruits, veggies, and legumes plus recipes and menu tips. The author also covers the important considerations of rat proofing the home for keepers who opt to give their pets free run of their dwellings. The chapter “Beginning Your Friendship” discusses rat socialization, handling, grooming, cleaning, and interactions with children and other pets. The health of a pet rat is covered in the “Health Care” chapter that includes choosing a veterinarian, the first vet visit, spaying/neutering, the weekly health exam, plus handling common rat maladies and dealing parasites and emergencies. The real f-u-n begins in chapter seven, “Fun Activities,” in which the reader can learn how to train his or her rat to walk on a leash, enrich his rat’s life with entertaining games, and learn party tricks to impress visitors to the rat’s home. True rat lovers will enjoy taking their rats to shows—just like dog shows—to show off their rat’s conformation and natural beauty.

It's a rat, of course, and if you're surprised by this, you should take some time to learn more about these delightful animals. Though wild rats have earned a bad rap for spreading illness and disease, domestic rats are clean and friendly animals that can be loving and wonderful additions to any family. If you have children that want pets but you're not ready for a dog, a pet rat may be a great compromise. These little critters are fabulous pets for kids, requiring relatively simple care that even grade school children can understand and handle. They're adaptable, affectionate, and tons of fun to watch and play with. With a life-span up to 5 years, your child can have a long relationship with her animals. Rats make great adult companions too, of course. Their minimal space requirements make them ideal for apartment dwellers, and their self-sufficiency and flexible sleeping habits mean they'll adapt readily to even busy schedules. When they're cared for properly, rats aren't prone to many illnesses or health issues, and they're affordable both up-front and in the long-term. Most of the challenges in rat care are caused by the animal's remarkable intelligence. The information in this book will teach you how to properly house these notorious escape artists. You'll also learn about the proper nutrition and care to keep your rats healthy in the long term, and how to identify and fix problems if they do come up. Introductions to breeding, showing, and training your animals are also included, if you want to take your rat ownership to the next level. Cuddly, smart, and entertaining, a pet rat combines the low time commitment of a small animal with the affection of a dog-and you may just find it's the perfect pet for you.
