Rats are highly intelligent and can be taught to use litter boxes. For rat parents looking to litter train, rat litter is a pretty big part of the process. Not all types of litter are safe for rats. Rat litter needs to be dust-free and clay-free to be safe for use. Rat litter is usually made from these materials:
Clean your rats' litter box daily and keep their litter box in a separate area away from their food and water. Put your rat litter supplies on Autoship so you don't have to think about when to restock.
Pet rats don't necessarily need litter, but some rat parents like using litter boxes to keep their rats' cage cleaner. Rat litter is not to be confused with bedding (used for hygiene and digging), which you do need for your rats' cage.
You can use "small animal" or "small pet" litter for rats, which is commonly sold as guinea pig or ferret bedding and litter.
The best materials for rat litter are natural and dust-free, like unscented paper litter and bedding. Other suitable materials are corn cobs and hemp. Avoid clay litter.
