I think rats are the most amazing pets they are intelligent and are generally clean and easy to look after. I have very special rats because they are adult and they are still hairless! they are bald. my friend got them from holland and they are really cool. i think you make them by breeding two rex rats together but im not sure. they are very rare even on the internet

I have four small kids and we had a pet rat and he was great. He was so cute and friendly and if my husband would let me get one more I would. We have a hamster and two rabbits.

Brown rats and black rats are not breeds of rats. The most common breeds of rats are the norweigan rat and the roof rat. The norweigion rat is the type of rats that are sold in petstores. They prefer a mild climate. The roof rats are not normally sold as pets and prefer more tropical climates. The roof rats were the rats responsible for spreading the bubonic plague. Not the norweigion. But the plague was not even the rats fault, it was the flea that lived on rats. I thought I would clear this up for you. because i believe people should be informed with correct information.

I have 4 rats who are all very sweet. There names are Fuzz, Pogo, Cysco, and Flat. All of them were rescued/abandoned and are all now happily living with us now. When we got our first rat, Fuzz, we would've never thought that we'd end up having 3 more later on. They're just so sweet and are in some sorts better than a dog could ever be. We're so happy to have all of them now and we will always have at least one in our home!

I have 3 rats, JT, Nanook and Knuckles. I got them when they were babies as it's easier to have them get used to you easier. I feed my rats lab rocks because it's basically all they need for the real food and I also give them some pet store food. The lab rocks I order because I think they are the best, Harlan Teklad since I started mine with store food and 2 of them got fat. LOL.

I call one kissy, kissy because he loves to and another is the clown. He loves to play and when you throw a cat ball with the bell in where he is, he will come out with it and put it in your hand.

The third one I have is the bully of them. When rats get to involved with each other and fighting I just spray them with water and they will stop.

I am hoping soon to get a couple of Dumbo rats. They are so cute. My other rats are albino's. I carry one on my shoulder when I go to the bank or other places as the last one I had a while back used to walk by my side on the sidewalk with no leash at all. We had fun.

I think the reason why my rats got so big is because the dog food I was also giving them is high in protein. They love their peas though.

They are great to have. I have them over a friends house who owns one of them. I have 10 cats at home so it wouldn't be a good idea to bring them here. :)
