Hello, everyone. Apparently I have to post three times here before I can see or update my profile? OK, I can manage that.
I have had rats for a while, but when my last rat died, I looked for a small pet with a longer life expectancy. I wound up with a Short-tailed Brazilian opossum. She is cute and adorable and a great pet in many ways, but not as sociable or affectionate as a rat. I have had her for nearly a year and a half and now find myself thinking fondly of my past rats. I was thinking of trying to adopt a couple of rats and housing them in the bottom of her Critter Keeper, but not knowing how either she or new rats would react to the other animal, I have reluctantly decided to put off adopting more rats for now. But, all of that still led me here to look at what this community is doing and saying while I wait for my chance to have more rats again.
