Stephanie - 2008-06-23 I got a male rat and I wonder how long it will be before it is comfortable with me lifting it. At the minute it's still a little timorous!! Thanks, Steph
Jackie - 2008-06-19 I have 3 pet rats which I rescued from my local rspca branch- I also happen to work there. All 3 were abandoned- Ronaldinio (Ronnie) was actually thrown over a garden wall when his owners moved house. My 2, 5 month old girlies, Honey and Poppy, were also abandoned, in their cage, in they're home when their owners were evicted. They really are like little dogs! Ronnie loves to have his head scratched and is always bruxting...and boggling. They are very loving and affectionate. I'd recommend ratties to anyone and everyone. I'm totally hooked!
pimp aka jacob - 2008-05-15 rats! They rock. You can teach them, breed them, or even love them. They are clean. They are nice and sociable. I have 12 rats and a room just for them. My cats are scared of them and my dog loves them. peace out.
Anonymous - 2008-05-01 I had two a long time ago, Margereet and White Rose. They are great sweet loveable cuddly pets. If you have them with children (especially younger ones) make sure they are supervised because they can scare the rats and rat bites hurt a LOT. So with a younger child that can be a bit of trouble. But I still recommend them as great pets. Mine were. I had them for 5 years. They died when we kept them at a friends, who rescued cats (no they had NOT been eaten by the cats). We had been moving so she was the only one who would take care of them for a while. They had a long happy life.
Jade Baker-Young - 2008-04-29 Rats are really good pets. I have three. Ringo is a male and two female youngsters called Alex and Daisy, they are twins!
Anonymous - 2008-04-23 Hello, well I got a male albino rat and he's got sores on the lower part of the jaw (near the neck) but he seems fine. I'm planning on getting him a mate this weekend and I'm going to breed them. I love rats and I have taken care of them since I was seven. All I can say is that they get so many, so be careful... As this page said, just buy a pair if you want babies. Once I got 4 rats (1 male and 3 females), the next month they multiplied to about THIRTY... HEHE
Morgan - 2008-01-09 I have one rat named PJ. I would reccomend a pet rat to almost anyone! They are very smart. They learn to love you very quickly. My rat PJ is actually a feeder rat. I saved him from my aunt's python. I actually thought a feeder rat would be very mean or agressive. But nope! I had him in a bird cage until I got back home to indiana from georgia. He escaped out of the birdcage five times when he was a baby and we even had the cage in a bath tub. I was suprised he still managed to crawl up the slick sides of the bathtub. He was so scared when I first rescued him. They put the feeder rats in little tiny plastic containers. I was so sad they would do this, because when he looked up at me with his little scared face, I knew I had to rescue him! I took him out of the container and he just curled uo in my hands and shook for awhile, then he fell fast asleep. I love rats!
Nichole - 2008-01-07 I have 4 of my own rats and two that I gave to a friend and they are the best pets I have ever had. I can bring my rats out on a leash and one of them even stands by me without a leash when I walk on the street. Everyday they show me affection and learn something new! I strongly recommend pet rats to anyone. Even my little sister who is nine years old loves them.
Active and smart little animals, rats can make great pets especially for children!
