What comes to your mind when you look at this image?

It reminds me "Little Stuart" Very nicely captured.

Well, it looks cute because the rat looks nice in this picture. There are rats that look dirty and ugly. But, no I won't do this if ever I saw one :p

I thought it was cute too. Someone else is doing it though. I am not sure I am getting that close. I am not afraid of them but I am not anxious to be in close proximity either.

HI, Good pic and the animal is also reacting. At least the human is so kind and did not do anything cruel to the little one.

Is this really true?. Mouse being feed and not running away?.

Oh..it's cute in picture but in reality, I might ran miles away.. the picture is just ok but if the next picture of this will show the person drinking the same bottle he gave to that mouse, that will be disgusting. Makes me thinking about it.

It's actually a young brown rat, not a mouse (the tail is not hairy and the animal is too big to be a mouse). It's clearly a wild animal and not a pet. Rats are normally considered a pest. They spread disease and do damage to property and it is appropriate to control them around human habitation, not to encourage them. That doesn't mean, of course, that they are not 'cute' and very intelligent animals which can actually make entertaining pets. (On the whole, I'd rather keep a rat as a pet than a cockroach). Because they breed and mature quickly, are intelligent and have some similarities to humans with regard to certain diseases, they are also very useful to science. Both as pets and as laboratory animals they are well controlled. However, as wild animals it is best not to encourage them as appears to be done here.

I think that if one would want to post on our walls, they should have the courtesy of asking us if it is okay. Otherwise, it is rude.
