Ah! I saw you keep your rats in a tank instead of a wire cage! While the flat bottom is good for their feet this could be potentially harmful to them in the long run! When you can I highly suggest you get them a wire cage with a flat bottom! Please talk to your vet and do a little research if you don't believe me. I want what is best for your wonderful and cute babies!
While I do greatly appreciate the input, I simply can’t afford anything else! About six years now I found this 55-ish gallon tank at Goodwill and I’ve been using it ever since. The airflow in my room here is very good, and I clean it quite frequently because of this. Perhaps in the future when I have some stable income and living situation I can splurge a bit and make a true rat paradise… but right now they’re content with perching on the edge and begging for pieces of this cookie I’m eating
