I have never really thought about having rats as pets until I started reading the threads on this forum about all you beloved rat owners. I think the connotations of rats being dirty and diseased always lingers in the back of my mind when I think about them. However, from reading all the information about them, I have really warmed to the idea of keeping rats as pets.
I would be grateful if anyone could give me some information on what it is like to have pet rats. I am wanting to adopt a small animal. I like the sound of the interaction of rats. Are they very interactive with humans? Is it common or does it very much depend upon the personality? What sorts of things do they enjoy doing? Do they play? I am really interested in gaining information from people's experience of the personality side of rats. I would be grateful for any information.
