Fancy Rats

I've never had any rats but my brother has one and he's such a sweetie! I hold him all the time. He's extremely smart too.

I ADORE rats as pets! I currently, only have one as she's quite aged and has been showing the first signs of an ear infection, so I don't want to try and get cagemates for her...I am speaking with a local fancy rat breeder though, as I am DYING to have Siamese Dumbo rattlets...My FAV breed for sure....My first ratties were the most affectionate ones, they use to sleep on my head while I watched TV and would lick at my lips if they smelled food, and I could even trust them enough to let them loose in my room (only in my room) for a couple of hours if we went grocery shopping, etc. I love ratties, and plan to have them for life..I realllly want to get a huge Martin's Cage to have a few ratties in a massive, fun cage....but they are sooooooooo exepensive to ship to Ontario...

I have raised white mice (which come in different colours) and hamsters. I have never been fond of rats but I understand why you feel the way you do.

Oh goodness, 11 rats? How do you find time for them all? My three boys can't get enough playtime and attention, we hang out with them for a few hours most days. They are like dogs. Sometimes they want to play, other times they will happily cuddle up to me when I watch a movie. And when I'm eating, they'll go to great lengths to get some too...

11?wow! i think they're adoreable,but i have too many cats to own one.a friend of mine has one that goes everywhere with him rides right in his hoodie LOL
