The biggest investment is when you buy them, but indeed fleeche, hammocks, food and bedding are things you need to buy again every few months. <br /><br />Luckily our rats don't chew as much and leave most hammocks alone, some they hate and they get destroyed really fast, lol.

Not all veterinarians will see rats and other small animals though. Thankfully since small animals are becoming more popular there are more vets that see small animals. I have a veterinarian close to my home that does.Mary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13244708.post-90565554170782938652013-06-29T21:23:57.441-07:002013-06-29T21:23:57.441-07:00Call me an idiot, but I did NOT know that there we...Call me an idiot, but I did NOT know that there were doctors for rats too.KKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16778157916183036144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13244708.post-63894485258052108522013-06-29T20:13:21.507-07:002013-06-29T20:13:21.507-07:00So glad you all enjoyed the post.So glad you all enjoyed the post.Mary Kirklandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991095291522043588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13244708.post-29292677484137450272013-06-29T09:35:56.383-07:002013-06-29T09:35:56.383-07:00Oh yeah when they get sick no matter the pet, they...Oh yeah when they get sick no matter the pet, they cost a ton.Pat Hatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07745293224202430152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13244708.post-10026107289307428062013-06-29T06:32:41.860-07:002013-06-29T06:32:41.860-07:00I think the vast majority of people don't ever...I think the vast majority of people don't ever calculate the true cost of a particular pet.

Your list is an excellent idea. Interesting about the medication for rats. You'd think they'd have specific medicines for them.Shelley Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090469550227550713noreply@blogger.com
