I have a pet rat with quite a persistant chewing problem. He constantly chews through wires when I let him free roam and he is not the first rat I have ever had that has done this, but he is to the extent that he chews the wires. He chews them right down so that the metal inside is hanging out. Today I picked up one of the wires without realising what he had done and got quite a nasty electric shock on my hand which actually broke the skin very slightly! Needless to say today is the very last time he free roams unsupervised and I realise I have been foolish to let him do so for so long. But I am just wondering, if I can get a shock like that, howcome when he is chewing the wire he (and the other rats I've had do the same thing) is always completely unharmed.let alone how do they not die? - If a human being can get a rather forceful and painful shock, how can the force not kill something as small as a rat?!
Oh, my rats do the same thing! They've chewed through so many pairs of my headphones anyway, the reason you got shocked is that the wire touched your skin. And with your rat, the wire probably only touched it's teeth, so ur rat wouldn't get shocked. Hope i helped!
Are you searching for a short-term restore or an eternal one? Rats can bite with the aid of cinder blocks in the event that they wish. One one our nearby puppy shops has a twine type in-closure for them to play in (feels like a twine play pen notwithstanding that's small and the facets fold in for storage, perchance you are going to be able to take off one edge and connect it to the edge of your cage. We paid about $15.00 for ours. notwithstanding, i would make positive you keep plenty of issues for them to bite on interior the cage in hopes that they wont bite the walls.
