Rat Reviews

Rats make very good pets.  We have a dozen currently.  They are smart and well-behaved.  You will need to play with them frequently, if not daily as they crave attention.  They are not particularly messy as long as you keep their cage clean on a weekly basis.  Our rats live in a rat condo and we vaccum out the cage daily and clean it thoroughly once a week. 

Rats come in many varieties.  We have regular fancy rats, as well as blue, dumbo, and hairless.

I used to have rats a few years back. My rats had always been sweet-tempered, great with my nieces and very cuddly. Rats are also smart, amusing,clean, protective pets who will grow very attached to you. As for the fear of biting, all animals can bite so keep your hands clean while handling your rat, and don't be aggressive towards your little rattie friend or he/she will return the favor, but then again so will any animal.

I got my rats in about February of this year and I absolutely love them. They ar ethe most affectionate little creatures and strangely enough they love the cats, although the cats are terrified of them. They each have their own little personalities and love to play. My rat Roxy has a bit of an attitude and doesn't like to play as much as her sister Reina. They both detest their baths but put up with them fairly well and for the most part are very clean. They love their treats and toys and love to run around the room and me! I'm so happy I have these little angels in my life.

Ok, so many people get grossed out when I say I have rats as pets, it is scary. You would think I told them the had an extra head. The truth about rats is that they are very smart, they are clean, they do not smell as long as you clean them regularly, like anything else, and they make great pets for kids because they are sooo gentle. My rats, and I have had them for years , have all been very sweet, with the exception of three. I have had about 20 or so total over the years and overall they are so sweet. They are gentle with children and very friendly. Some of mine will come up to you climb on...

Domesticated rats are fantastic pets for anyone willing and able to devote even an hour per day to interacting with and taking care of their furry friends. With very few exceptions, rats should generally be kept in same-sex groups of at least two. (The same-sex rule is null if all rats of either or both sexes are spayed or neutered.) Rats are often and rightly referred to as the dogs of the small animal world - they're very interactive, intelligent and clean animals. They are easy to train and only need a small amount of space compared to larger animals, so they're also great for city living in...
