African Soft Furred Rats are a species of rodent that originates from Africa. People say they smell less and that picky eaters seem to accept them more readily. I disliked them because they tend to be nippy and in my experience, some of those little suckers can jump like crazy.

I prefer Norway Rats.

No offense but Rats stink too much for my taste...if they are so smart, why can't they find a bathtub...eeek yick!

Because you have them in a cage, and didn't give them one...

Rats are exceptionally fastidious animals, actually--like cats, they're always grooming and cleaning themselves. People rarely clean rodent cages more than once a week. It's not the rat that stinks, it's the soiled bedding, and that is the owner's fault...not the rat's.

A rat kept in an exceptionally clean environment doesn't stink, has soft fur, and is always tidy, lol.

having well over 60 rats at all times you tend to have a soft spot for them. They get the same care my snakes do. Any living animal deserves the best care wither there just a feeder or not. I hate the mice. If i didnt have picky eaters that only took mice i wouldnt even have the mice

I find no conflict, rats Rock!

I breed high quality pet rats including blues, Himalayans, dwarf rats and Satin coat, velveteen coats and rex coats.
I sell rats for pets to pay for my feeders for my snakes.
It pays for rat food, rat bedding and puts a few bills in my pocket now and then too.

Rats are cool when they're not pooping or peeing all over the place...also not too sure about a rodent dragging his junk all over everything. Does a higher quality diet limit the pee and poo? I'm just going off my limited experience with "pet shop" rats which I'm sure are fed the most cost effective food.

Hehehe, I help mine find a bathtub. They actually aren't too bad if they are litter trained though. I slap a litter tray in their cage and clean once a week. I get little to no smell until the 6-7th day and then it's very faint.
