Haha yeah, I've got two African Greys who do this... Our solution was to replace the water dish entirely with a glass lixit bottle. It can take them a bit to get used to it, so don't just switch them cold turkey. Have both for a week or two, and make sure you show them how to use it (flick the metal bead so they can see the water come out). It's kinda pricy, but definitely worth it. Here's a link to what I'm talking about.

When I googled "untippable dog water bowl" I got several suggestions you could try (or maybe already have). a) the classic wide metal dish with outward sloping sides, edges flush to the floor. b) a raised stand that holds the dish in a recessed well c) really heavy stoneware bowls. d) bowls with hardware to mount to the wall or floor.

You could also use a water bottle instead of a dish: https://www.amazon.com/Lixit-Glass-Water-Bottle-32-Ounce/dp/B0002Z15ZW

You need at least the size of a 10-gallon talk PER RAT -- and you need at least two unless you plan on playing with this thing 24/7. If you need help affording something bigger, check with your local rattie rescue.

Don't invest in toys -- they're expensive and unless you've seen them playing with them already (i.e. you've seen them running in a wheel at the store), you're likely wasting the money. They need something durable for a house, yes, but they don't need durable playthings.

Rats love (and can have) damned near anything for toys and bedding, from old Chinese food cartons (remove the metal first!), discarded clothes (My boys love old boxer shorts!), and chicken bones. If you have items near the end of their usable lifespan anyway, the rats will find a way to get that last bit of life out of it. If you're really mindful, you can wash their "rat laundry" and make those discarded clothes last for months.

(note, you still need something like Aspen bedding as a cage litter even with things like shirts and boxers -- but rats like lining their sleeping spots with extra padding.)

Cagegear I recommend buying: ^(Disclaimer: Amazon referral links provided)

  • eCotrition Snak Shack products provide fun variety for rats as well as a failsafe if you forget to feed them enough. I usually get the activity logs but poo becomes a problem if they last too long -- the huts might work better.
  • Lixit Glass Water Bottles are durable as all get out. Thirsty rats will do ANYTHING to try and get water out of an empty water bottle -- including chewing through plastic bottles! You should pay attention to the water levels, obviously, but these don't leak and won't be destroyed if you do forget for a day.
  • Safety Pins as fasteners for makeshift hammocks made from those discarded clothes (just make sure the pointy end is on the OUTSIDE of the cage and check it regularly to make sure it hasn't been popped open)
  • Kaytee Pet Igloo, because Igloo. (But really, they're easy to clean -- I throw mine in the shower along with the rest of the cage when I need to clean them -- and it's easy to find a rattie when you're looking to make sure everyone's happy and healthy, since they're translucent.)

    Hammocks are awesome, tunnels are awesome, and "perch points" for Ratties to hang out up at the top of the cage are awesome. Just change up the layout every now and then to keep their brains fresh.

I would recommend a hanging bottle. Many fuzzbutts are already trained on them before you get them from the pet store/breeder, but if not they learn pretty quick. Here is the bottle I bought:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002Z15ZW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1


It's nice and big, glass (which makes it durable), but it is a tad pricey. Well worth the money, though. If you're on a tighter budget, you can get a cheap one for just $10 or so, but I would highly recommend paying a bit more for quality.

Obviously a hanging bottle will completely eliminate the water digging, but my problem is that my little guy likes to dig food! Does anyone have any advice on stopping that behavior? I may have to make a thread about it to get some advice. I tried scruffing him, but he likes the attention!

I have had bottles die over the years, mostly bad ball-bearings, but never to the degree that you have, and I just under a dozen in use right now.

As a breeder for over a decade here is what I use. The mice are bred in 10 gallon tanks with screen lids and I use the small cheap bottles that have hangers that they sell at Walmart for ~$4 (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Happy-Home-Pet-Products-Water-Bottle-For-Small-Animals-Hamsters-Rodents/22210864) for the mice, 2 per tank. These fail here and there, but most ball-bearings last for years without issue. I agree that flooded cages suck big time! For my pet rats, use the same but bigger bottles with the wire clip (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Happy-Home-Pet-Products-Water-Bottle-For-Small-Animals-Ferrets-Gerbils-Guinea-Pigs-Rabbits/22210861) for the wire cages, and the small to large bottles with metal bottle guards on my rats in a tank. Again, rarely a drip or flood issue even as a cheaper brand, and same results with Pet'smart or Petco brand bottles.

As for chewing, Petco sells the metal guards the cheapest (http://www.petco.com/product/105628/Petco-Chew-Guard-And-Bottle-Holder.aspx). I have had the mice climb to the top of the tanks and chew on the hangers, not the bottles, but this is reduced if you make sure to keep the bottles to the top of the tank as well as a 'weight' over the bottles and to prevent escapes. Never had a rat chew a bottle. I also provide my rodents with wood chews and paper things to shred to discourage bored chewing, both species have and will chew on any plastic including igloo hides and food dishes. This is why most plastic cages suck for rodents, they eventually chew through them or on them. I gave up on food dishes with mice as they pee in them like crazy and enjoy scavenging for food instead. Rats love to cover their food dish in anything they can but they don't soil it much so they keep theirs, neater for them.

I haven't ordered anything special but I looked a little for you. For completely chew-proof, there is the parrot proof ones that cost a fortune (http://www.amazon.com/Lixit-Glass-Water-Bottle-32-Ounce/dp/B0002Z15ZW) or this cheaper wire cage model (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=6067+10382+22733&pcatid=22733) and this one (http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=6067+10382+17098&pcatid=17098). I can't find any tank ones at the moment that are completely chew-proof glass/metal or that can swear beyond the normal that they will 'never' leak. There might be the option of putting a glass and metal bottle in the metal guard for tanks, not cheap but would be chew proof.

Good luck and have a good trip.
