Vacuuming & rats?

[umbrella]

Can I vacuum with my rats in the room? Especially the babies?? I never have before, because I, personally, am scared of vacuums, so I imagined the rats would be, but Andrew is gone and I cannot move all the cages by myself...
Let me know your .02 on this, because my floor's really gross and it's bugging me.

I thought my rats would have had a heart attack, but my girls LOVE the vaccume. I mean they love it whn it comes on, and I have even oput the nozzle up to the cage and they all run ti is and get a huge kick out of it, when i turn it off they are all burxing and chittering...so happily....lol

Yeah my 4 boys love it too, even if i do it in the middle of the day they all come out to watch me!! - They must think its strange to see mummy doing the housework for a change  

It must be the noise that attracts them though?!?!?!?

I think it would be fine.  I can't tell if my girls like it or not, but they aren't gonna die from it.

Naaaaah, when I had several litters of rattie babies around, I still vadcumed on a regular basis.  It never bothered them or their mommas.    They all handled it just fine.
