Actually, the rats each got a small piece of the cake. It was chocolate, and rats can have small amounts of chocolate :)

Well I would say yes and no. There is an overpopulation of guinea pigs in shelters (although not mine, all of them have been empty for 3 months now!) but I breed and have a waiting list and there is no shortage of homes! I think shelters just aren't as well known as breeders. Or people would rather know the hi story of their pet.

I have my gerbils' food bowl on the top level of their cage so they don't do that.
And definitely switch to a water bottle. Rodents tend to be incapable of keeping water bowls clean lol.
