im still thinking about getting two more rats so i'll have 4 because i've heard so many times rats are happier when theres 3 or more + when you get new rats you should get 2 at the same time so they don't feel so scared
here's what im wondering.. how much more money i will need to be prepared to spend
because the breeder just told me it wont make a difference in cost or in anything really if you have 2 or 4 rats... but? what about like vet costs..? i didn't wanna argue with her bc shes really experienced with rats but im still thinking about it... im thinking if i get all of them an insurance then i wouldn't need to worry too much maybe?
but then im also worried how some people will react.... i promised not to get more pets earlier.. but i've been thinking about this for months and i feel like its the right thing to do, for the rats? of course i will be happy about baby rats too but more so my rats would appreciate the company?
i have a big cage and i buy their food in big bags and i spend alot of time with my rats every day.. so those things arent problems, im mostly worried about how people will react and if im being irresponsible? because i am a student with no job or anything so i am low on money most of the time and already taking care of many animals. and i only want whats best for them.. the breeder already would have sold me two babies two months ago but i declined cause i wanted more time to think.. now she messaged me yesterday that she has babies again idk tell me ur thoughts?? i really could use some advice..
