How to build a relationship with my rat?

I Have a pet rat, what are the best ways to build a relation ship with my pet, he always seems sad…, what are some fun thing for him to make him not bored…

Answer #1

does he live by himself? if so… PLAY WITH HIM ALLL THE TIME!!! since you can’t house two boy rats together, and you DEFINETLY can’t house a male and female together, you are going to have to be his VERY BEST FRIEND. or else he will be sooo LONELY and DEPRESSED and SAD and LAZY.

Answer #2

Buy a playmate for him.

play with him a lot! carry him around sometimes and spend time with him if hes a young rat he learn things quicker rats can be very tame and make great pets you can even carry them around on your shoulder for a while but yeah just spend lots of time with him, maybe give him some new things to play with even
