Need a lil help with my new pet hairless rats :-)

okay, so i have had rats before, but it was 2 years ago, and i can't really remember much about how to take care of them.

i just got 2 so-ugly-they're-adorable hairless rats last night!! their names are jack and oreo. i had one of my old rat cages left, so i'm using that, also i bought food, a wooden house for them to hide and play in, a food dish, a water bottle, some special pet "stuffing" for them to shred and sleep in, a chew toy, and this special litter that feels kinda like fabric but it's supposed to be non-toxic and help with the smell and stuff.

i also bought johnson's baby lotion for them, because the guy at the pet store said that they need lotion put on them every once in awhile, coz they have sensitive skin and it gets dry and flaky. so how often should i put the lotion on them?

oh, and does it sound like i have all i need to take care of them? how often should i feed them? i fed them last night, and this morning when i woke up, their food dish was empty.

it seems that if they're already begging for attention that its fine to give it to them. just make sure not to scare them by moving to quickly as rats don't see all that well.

you should put hammocks in the cage made of fleece, or an old towel will do hairless rats need extra things to keep their naked bodies warm.

rats hide and stash food all over their cages, they'll hide it everywhere they can think of. you should give them small amounts of food everyday since they're known for peeing in their dishes! i thought that i'd let you know that "rodent mixed food" isn't nutritionally healthy for rats since they pick out what they like and leave the rest. i use rodent food blocks for my girls so they get what they need. i use kaytee rodent blocks as they were recommended by a rat expert. they can also be fed many other foods in addition. fruits, vegetables and meat (rats aren't vegetarians!) my girls LOVE chicken, and oysters. since you have males i will tell you that you CAN NOT give them oranges its not healthy for them at all.
