I know a lot of these have been mentioned, but:

  • You shouldn't keep rats alone. They're likely to become very depressed, even if you spend lots of time with them.
  • The bars are too wide on that cage. Rats can squeeze through tiny openings. Bar spacing should be no more than about half an inch.
  • The cage is way too small. Check out the rat calculator to see what size cage you should be looking for. In particular, look for something with plenty of height, as rats really like to climb.
  • I can't be sure but that looks like galvanized metal, which tends to absorb moisture and smells. You should pick a cage with coated metal – I don’t know where you are but I have the Furet Plus for my two rats, which is a very good option. I’m sure everybody here could recommend you a good cage on a budget.
  • I would remove that wheel straight away, and replace it with something like this, which has a solid surface for the rats to run on.

    Looking at your post history, it seems like this new friend is a bit of an impulse decision for you. I am all for people owning rats, but I don’t think you’re going about this the right way. Picking up a sickly bargain bin pet store rat as your first one is a terrible idea, and here’s why:

  • Even if the store tells you the rat has recovered, rats tend to live with upper respiratory complications throughout their lives, and it can be very expensive to have rats treated.
  • Rats should be kept in groups of at least two, which means you’ll also need to be responsible for introducing your rat to a new friend. This process can take weeks or even months, and requires you to stock and manage an extra cage until they’re used to each other enough to live together.
  • Rats from pet stores aren’t bred for health or personality, they’re bred for quantity. There are more health and behavioural issues to contend with and this will make life difficult for you as a first-time rat owner.
  • I and most of this sub would encourage you to use a reputable breeder rather than a pet store to adopt your animals, as pet stores have a terrible reputation for animal cruelty, and the animals tend to be very poorly socialised.

    Please really think this through. I know it’s difficult when you’ve already set your heart on a certain rat, but based on this post and your last one in this sub you don’t appear to have done a lot of research on the basics of rat care, and you need to seriously consider whether you are capable of handling a potentially very complicated pet.

They're not really loud and DEFINITELY not stinky. If you keep things clean for them and potty train them there's no smell.. Unless you like stick your nose in their fur and that's a really pleasant natural smell if you ask me. I have not seen a cleaner animal in my life. (Also, definitely stay away from scented bedding as someone else said)

As for the wheel, I managed to get my hands on this thing called a Savic Rolly wheel but it seems like they're only in the UK or something? I mention it so maybe you can find something using a similar mechanism because this makes zero noise (which I find very upsetting because I used to love to fall asleep to the sound of him running).
