Hello, I am new to this forum. Actually, I am kinda new to forums altogether. Also a new rat mommy. My baby's name is Snuffleupagus. He is a white rat with a bit of grey on his shoulders and around his ears. I love him to pieces, and we are becoming the best of friends. I joined this forum because I hope to share my love for him with others who also love rats and to get advice for making sure he lives a long and healthy, HAPPY life.
Right now, he is my only rat, and I know that most people say that to have just 1 rat is a major no no, so I wanted to check here. I spend as much time with him as possible, sometimes up to 8 hours with him out of the cage. If I can manage to keep him out of the cage and spend time with him like this, will he still need another friend?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
