Awwwwww! Snowflake looks just like my little Moonlight.
She's a albino rat too! My sister looked up on the
internet what was the best pet and the rat came up!
part of Moonlight's tail came off and she was crying
but she never bit me! She chatters all day long and
loves to sleep on my lap. :) and I agree with Laura,
Moonlight is the best rat I've ever had and I highly
recommend getting 1! their the best! (Moonlight was
the first pet I've ever had that lived over a week...
isn't that sad? Poor Whitey, Joy, Scribles & Nickels.) :(

Baby rats can be so cute, can't they! Well, I think both adults and babies are precious animals to own.

Rats are wonderful pets, but I don't agree with them being good pets for children- as their bite is very painful and they squirm quite a bit.
But rats are NOT cage pets, they need attention every day. I also think that rats get sick easily. Even the most cared for rats will probably contract cancer or myco later in their lives, and natural deaths are rare. However, they do have great personalities (much better than mice or hamsters) and are inexpensive. I very miss my two rats, which were like dogs and even came when their names were called.

Woo-hoo! I'm almost positive I'm going to get 2 rats soon and I absolutely can't wait! My friend has rats and she says they're freindly and adventerous! They're so easy to hold!

Rats are actually very clean animals and clean themselves as much as a cat does.They are very loveable and should have a buddie in the cage with them. Give them baths when needed! Be sure to clip their claws if they are scratching you too much. If you want a laid back rat who will sit in your lap and eat popcorn with you get a male. If you want an active rat who probably wont sit for too long get a female. I personaly prefer males, I have a male rat and he's so laid back and loves to hang w/ you.

hi, i got a rat a little over a week ago and i am addicted to it! i've already litter training it and everything. hes shy, but starting to be more playful. They recognise and bond to you unlike many other rodents. When people say rats are dogs in a smaller packeage,,, BELIEVE THEM! P.S: RATS RULE!
