I've mentioned several times all over this forum that I keep pet rats and thought I would post a picture of my favorite. This little guy was declared 'unsellable' by the petstore, but he was available for adoption. He was covered in sores and had almost no hair, despite the symptoms being a textbook case of mites, the in-store vet decided it was just him overgrooming himself. I took him home, treated for mites and shockingly the sores went away and most of his hair grew back. He usually spends several hours a day riding around the house on my shoulder, is litterbox trained, comes to his name and knows a few tricks. I wish more people would consider what fun little pets rats make.
