| Re: Rats as pets...
Ratties make excellent pets, I have 12 right now and would love more. They are VERY social and do very well with several in a cage. The more you have, the more fun you have watching them. I have 7 females and one neutered male in one cage and they are a blast to watch. Of all cages pets, Ratties would have to be my favorite. When raised properly, they can be very friendly, loyal, loving and trusting and love to be handled and played with. Males tend to be more snuggly and females are much more active but not always the case. I have one female that just loves to snuggle and curl up next to me. Every rats is different when it comes to their personalities, you just have to interact with different ones to see what you like. Do keep in mind that when the time is right, adopted your rats in pairs. A single rat does not do well alone. They need the companionship of other ratties to thrive. |
