B!nd!
That is an awesome rat cage- although you will have to check the spacing between the wires. If the spacing is more than 2cm small rats are going to be able to squeeze out through the wires. Larger rats should be ok- but the wires do look a bit too far apart for rats.
How to get them to bond with you? easy! time and attention- rats are very affectionate creatures and it shouldnt take them long to warm up to you. Get them as young as you can, and start giving them loads of attention from early on. For nervous rats- I put them down my jumper for 10-15 mins at a time- its nice and safe and its not long before theyre playing with you- popping in and out of the jumper, running down the sleeves, etc. I made my rats super tame by feeding them baby food and getting them to lick it off my fingers- they were the sweetest rats ever.
Yes defiantely get your budgie a friend- budgies are flock birds and they will be much happier in pairs.. in fact- the more the better! You will probably need a larger cage to accomidate a new bird. You can add another male if you dont want a female- they will get along fine. They are so very social- the males will kiss and preen each other as much as they kiss and preen the females.
My parrots sleep in hammocks, but I dont know if budgies would be willing to try them. I wouldnt recommend a nesting box in a cage, though. I keep my birds inside and their room is heated overnight… they are quite spoiled lol. Snuggling up to another budgie will help keep both budgies warm – we have aviary birds (all males) that have no problems living outside year round.
Telling the difference in sexes of rabbits? In younger ones its harder, you have to squeeze their bits- in females a little thing will pop out and in males its alot larger. Males testicles descend when they are about 6 months old which makes it alot easier to determine the sex. You can also take your rabbit to the vet (like when you take it in to be vaccinated) and they should be able to sex it properly.
You shouldnt introduce two bucks to each other, but a desexed buck and doe or two does should be ok (depending on the rabbits- some just dont like each other) introduce them in a neutral area and take things slow. It may take a few days to even a few months for rabbits to bond with each other. Keep their cages close and introduce them as often as you can until they are playing nicely with each other.
Making a cage? simple rule is the bigger the better- especially with large rabbits. It should be tall enough so that your rabbit can stand up inside it, and as long and wide as you can make it. I recommend making the cage out of wood, then it is easy to put wire and mosquito netting on it. There are many different designs of rabbit cages out there- choose one that you like best and model your cage on it.
