Pet Rats
Call me crazy but I think that I want a pet rat. I have had pets growing up and I think it would be fun to have a pet at my house. I never had a caged animal, but rats are just so cute! My cousin and friend both have rats and I have even housesat for a rat. They seem like very even tempered and quiet but playful animals. I have been reading up on them and learning more about the rat society. I don't really know when I would get one, but it seams to me that the safest way to purchase one is through a rat breeder not a pet store. I guess in their early life they need special care and throwing them in a bin at the pet store is not wise. Any thoughts on the whole pet rat thing?
