I tried rat proofing it by blocking of all the gaps but my parents just did the electrics in my room and found lots of wires chewed down to the metal , oops!

Could you rat proof a room in your house that they can run around in? I've never used a harness on my ratties but think they will probably prefer the free running if possible.

My rats must have been very well behaved because they never used to chew when I let them out. One of them did try to escape up the chimney though and then climbed the curtains!

I got a specific rat one and, to be honest, both mine were pretty large males. I am pretty sure they adjusted well though! I did have thin ones and had no problems but a vest one may be better long term.

Did you get one specifically for rats? My girls are so small and I'm worried I'l get one thats too big as nowhere says the dimensions of them. Also would you say a 'vest' one is better than a thin one?

I used to have one for my rats when I used to own them and they loved it, had no problem putting it on and they loved the run about!
