Why you should love rats

They don't growl or bark in less your my rat Obo who met two rats for the first time and he was just confused and scared.


They don't get in your way because if you're done playing and petting with them you can put them back in their Rat house. Mine too late getting in the way though because I taught them to follow me around the room that I played with them in.

They are very low maintenance pet because the minimum hour of outside the cage time is three hours in length they are just too cute for their own good and you feel compelled to take them out more often than necessary and at odd moments like when you sit down to eat dinner.

They don't really smelled bad if you clean their cages at least once a week. When you wash your rat he will tend to smell a little like grape soda.

You never have to do your homework or watch a movie alone because a rat will be more than happy to sit on your lap or shoulder and chatter happily away.

When rats became my love

Rats entered my life with a BIA-polar boyfriend and they were always the highlight of my day with him. They were two fancy rat males, one Russian blue self rat named Squid and anther hooded blue rat named Chain Saw. They lived in the corner of the bedroom close to the heater vent ( which i later learned was not healthy for rats) in a long ginny-pigs cage. They had only a water dish, a food dish and a pink igloo to sleep in. This may seem like the barely anything for happy rattys, and this is true because rats are really smart and need toys to entertain themselves. These poor rats never were picked up with out my ex wearing gloves and that was only because he was cleaning their cage. He wouldn't let me pick them up because he believe they were dirty  even though rats clean themselves more then cats.

At the lest they had themselves to play with. They would romp up to the bars to nibble on my fingers and lick them with there cute little pink tongues. They would take food from me with there delicate little hands never biting me or hissing aggression like rats in the movies.

I fell in love with there lazy greeting which considered of a timid peak out of there heads then a yawn and a stretch. They became my favorite animal that day no other pet was a exited to see me or loved food and play more. That day I knew I needed two or three or five of my own!
