Answer #1

A. I think you should take your rat to the vets about his teeth , I think thy clip them down but not 2 sure.

B. has he got a wheel that he can run around in?

C. becasue you handle your rat more than your sister (im just guessing about you handleing your rat more) he feels more relaxed and comfertable with you and not scared so he doesnt pee. when I used to have a rat I had him for 8 years wich is a pretty long time 4 a rat he sadly died:( he peed on me the 1st time I got him 2 lol all down my back!! haha

hope this helped xxx
