So I really havent gotten a rat yet but I reeeeaaaaly want one! My mom isnt big on rodents or the tails but I want to know if you guys could help me change her mind about them. Thanks
Yea I would love some pics of your FN!eclecticnoise said:I have to say that rats are wonderful pets. I love my 2 girls to bits and pieces. I also have a Ferret nation cage which I modified so they can't get out (just one thing for you to consider - you may have to modify it which is not incredibly expensive but does take time and strong hands. I'll PM you pics of what mine looks like now if you would like). If rats are well taken care of and come from a good breeder they can last for years. It is definitely worth spending a little extra money up front to get well bred rats than get pet store rats and end up with health problems. Rats are wonderful inquisitive creatures that really do bond with their humans. Mine know the sound of my voice, will jump onto me if someone else is holding them and love to use me as their own personal jungle gym. All pets also teach responsibility and even money management. Every pet owner must make sure that they have that "emergency fund" whether it's for a new cage or a vet trip. I really hope that you consider allowing these wonderful little creatures into your home.
PS Amber why did you have rats that you had with you and then had to send back to your Dads (especially if he doesn't like rodents - why is he breeding them or was that an accident)? I don't mean to pry it just seems like an odd situation![]()
