Gambian Pouched Rats

[robstaine]

aw she is very nice one day it will be my turn to put a pic up

[Ratatouille]

Just put mine in an album in my profile, as photobucket is playing up and won't let me in

[Trekky]

Got a lovely picture of my cuddly girl Ziyal from the weekend but don't know how to add pictures on here

I wouldn't be without my lot. Handled early enough they make wonderful pets and don't find them too difficult to look after.
Cage wise i agree with Lou definately needs to be all metal. We've tried a variety of cages but have found large Parrott cages the best with a few adaptions to keep the litter in.
But there are more and more large rodent cages coming on the market although i haven't found one yet where i wouldn't have to adapt it some how eg having custom built metal tray base.

Mine are still quite shy only having been here a few days, but they've already sussed just how to make me feel guilty.....



The bowl was full of fruit, veg and boiled eggs last night but the little pigs have scoffed the lot and Calamity was obviously making her point that it was very definately all gone!!!

And playing 'you can't see me'!!





I'm absolutely smitten with them - so thank you Lou and Ray!!

[Falkor-Dragons]

can sum1 pm me who breeds as i prob wont read this post again

[Rie xx]

OMG them little babies are absolutely beautiful!! Perfect! Are they all that light colour when babies?

[Rie xx]

I have my two gambians in an all metal parrot cage! My male will chew anything plastic! He can make a hole within minutes to escape! Whereabouts my female Winnie can open cage doors so we have safety locks

[Philldan]

These 2 chewed through the plastic tray and escaped when Lou first introduced them but they're being model ratties here at the moment, they've chewed nothing at all, they eat, sleep and look incredibly cute!!

Of course they are sweet they came from me , the little monsters did have me chasing them round a room at one stage though (they knew they were being put back in a cage) as I had put the plastic base in instead of the the metal one .


I am glad they are settling well, and it looks like madam has you wrapped round her finger already.

Rie: No they are not always that light, they range in colour from a very dark grey to a light brown, but they still have all or some of their baby coat atm (ones slightly older than the other)
