sso cute Kristen! does he like steal or hide things from you? the girl i knew her rat loved to steal peoples socks off her feet.

[Kristen]

Thanks!
He doesn't steal things off me, but if there is something near his cage in reach he will bring it in. I had my washing basket sitting next to his cage and he managed to pull my underwear through the bars and chew them up into some nice bedding :P

[Savannah]

lol thats funny. note to self dont leave clothes nearhis cage. i havent had a rat they sound awesome.
our cat star used to get into our drawers take out socks and carry them around the house. find moms or my sisters socks in my room under my bed. one minute youd have socks to put on for the morning, the next you didn't. and you wouldnt find them till the day had to clean the house. lol

I love rats. We had them the whole time my kids were growing up. Beautiful intelligent animals.

We got him as a baby by himself, then a few weeks later tried to get another one but Mr Smelliot is too.. "defensive". He wont tolerate ANY other animal. I feel bad for him cause you should always keep them with a friend, but he attacks anything besides people that come near his cage. Even my cats! Hahah. I try gething out as much as I can though to make up for the lack of interaction he gets. He goes for him walks and I have him out for a few hours a day. I know it won't be the same for him, but it's better than him injuring another rat.
Aw cute! Pictures?! What are their names?

[Savannah]

such a rat.

awe. my cats like that. but shes just grumpy and queen of Sheba. she almost killed a male we got. we had to give him away.. well at least hes good with people. where would you get a rat??? I've only seen ferrets at pet co or the pet something. I've seen birds,amphibians, reptiles, bunnies and hamsters...but not any rats now that i think about it....??

I would get him neutered, I did this with my Apollo and he is SO much happier. I have a post of my pets on here under my fuzzy ( or is it furry? ) family Just an idea ... I had two boys and both got through their neuters wonderfully

Unfortunately everywhere has rats from Petco to BYB's on craigslist And most are horribly neglected ... Not to mention stores that sell them as feeders

[Savannah]

really??? maybe i just need to look better....
thats sad..feeders for what? we don't eat them??? i heard about something in europe about horsemeat and makes me sad. no eat horse!

Ahh good Idea! Don't know how I didn't think of that!
Where I live its illegal to give live animals as feeders for reptiles/amphibians
