I have a rat who is only attracted to Pepsi - can I put a bowl of this in the cage?

Yes, use a heavy dish with a low center of gravity. You may not be able to get a lot of Pepsi in the dish; enough to tempt him in the cage.

A bowl would be to large and might block the trip mechanism. You could use a large cap off a bottle or one of those small plastic cups that fruit or pudding comes in filled with Pepsi. Balancing one of those on the trip plate so when the rat goes for a drink should work to catch your addict.

I have syringed medicines into rats in the lab, but never my cats. It will not be likely to enhance your bond. Or the integrity of your skin. Have you tried mixing the powder with cream, then into some food your cat loves (ours think "human" tuna is a very special treat)?

You could as long as he plans to eat it soon. I would put plastic bag around it so his other stuff in the lunchbox don't get wet.

Mine did that at first but now they just eat it. Rats are hoarders by nature and usually hide their food like they are waiting for an apocalypse. It took mine a few weeks and I thought they were still hoarding it till I saw them eating it one day. Now they empty their bowls more often and really seem to like it.

I have been told both. The rats can smell the bait and chew threw the packet. Then the critter catcher told me they had to be opened. I put some out in the plastic rat trap outside and a few weeks later a rat came out of the grasses and dies on the drive way. So I think it works in the packet. Good luck!

I would think so! The crevices aren't too deep. My lab mix walks around and around the bowl while eating. The breaks in the maze helps him push the food around while eating instead of vacuuming it up all at once.

The bars are about a finger width apart. I think this cage would work just fine for rats.

I don't know that answer, but I would say it is safe to assume that anything they make to put in a small animal's habitat is safe for them to chew on. My guinea pig chews on the plastic igloo in her cage and the wooden items in her cage, too. I had rats years ago and they chewed on items such as these and they were fine. I see your concern though, because it does make you wonder what is in them. Some of the chew toys that I've seen are just vegetable shaped pieces of colored wood, no flavor or anything, and that's weird to me, but rodents have to chew. i think the color and shapes of these things are more for us than for them!

I have two of these traps and where I live in Sherman Oaks Calif we have what is called tree rats and they are not real large. I found a piece of bacon is good bait I piece in the back of the trap so the rat has to enter and it is trapped inside. I put a piece of bacon on the outsid as chum. I catch about three rats a week.

It's fine for one rat. But rats are social, and we have a mama and her two daughters. The cage is too small for three grown rats. It is chew proof though.

Yes, it does but your hamster's natural instinct is to sit on their food. With this product the hamster will most likely try and get stuck, please use a normal hamster bowl.

No. Rats are designed to fit through small spaces. But this ad isn't for the cage, it's for a set of shelves. The shelves are made out of plastic. Rats chew on plastic. Better to buy a cage designed for rats. We loved our rats, when we had them, but like most rodents, they are escape artists. :)

Nah...one of my hamster dug out everything onto the floor each time I fill the pod. The other hamster ate from the pod no problem. (Separate cages) It will depend on your hamster's personality. Regardless, you won't have any portion control.

I think cheerios would fit in there.I got three toys for him christmas.This is still around and he loves it.He is a big chewer and no teeth marks on it.Plus I play fetch without food in it.It bounces all over the place and he just chases it and brings it back.

My two ratties are fine with some chewy snacks or just knawing toys thrown in. But I only use this to and from the vet's office - probably won't hold up on long travels if they get bored.

The food would work fine in a bowl - but with any animal that is an a standard diet I always recommend that you don't just "slam dunk" switch them but allow a period of time were they get some of one and some of the other. While Oxbow is considered one of the best Rat food available for the person with just a couple of rats I try to make an offeort to make sure their diet is varied and add veggies and other nuts or seeds occasionally.
