I can't have any right now though because I live in a dorm but as soon as I move out I'm getting another. I've even fostered rats before and I think that they are the best pets out there even if other people seem to think that they are gross.

Anywho, not that it matters rofl... I'd love to have an actual pet rat. I had one when I was younger, but it was just a feeder rat that was mean as hell. I dunno if I could deal with having one though considering how short their lives are. Would be so heartbreaking not having a lot of time w/ them.

My rat, Gandalf, was a rescue rat. He came from a lab where well-meaning scientists grew things on his back for awhile, then gave him to a trusted local pet store. His eyes always had that look of panic, due to his upbringing. Bug seems to have been raised right. Big Hugs((bug)). Her real character is in her eyes. My rat, Gandalf, was a rescue rat.

They are very clean, can be taught to use a litter box, and incredibly social. Just adding to the defense of the rat. They are great pets.

Like, say, sewers. If you got your rat from a pet shop and not off the street, you are fine. But you knew that already, right? @ Gail Pink
