My name is Meghan,I'm 13 and live in Ga.I have a hairless rat named Ollie,I'm hoping he wont be the last rat I get before I get my own place.At first I was afraid that he would be a bitter like alot of the past rodents I've had,but he is very sweet,and I'm hoping for him to live a happy,healthy life.

Welcome! I've always wanted a hairless rat, and I must say Ollie is a great name! You should really consider getting him a friend as rats generally do better in pairs

They'll get sunburnt more easily, yes. Their skin's just about as hardy, but they don't have fur to protect it.
