Rats are mostly nocturnal, so evening is the best time to observe and interact with them. Daily attention, handling, and regularly scheduled play times at least 30 minutes in length will lead to a calmer, gentler pet. Rats like to explore their surroundings and favor tubes, climbing toys, exercise wheels and areas to investigate. Safe items on which to gnaw, such as commercial chew sticks, pesticide-free hardwood branches and ink-free cardboard, are also necessary. Rats thrive best in full darkness at night; nightlights or uncovered windows in their environment should be avoided.
