Sorry to hear about your poor baby passing. I've never kept a rat for a pet - please tell me what sort of pet they make. Do they let you hold them and interact with them.

Your pics of them in that hammock look soooo adorable - makes me want one for a pet.

I just need more info on them.

Thanks.

I never wanted rats for pets either, but I wouldn't have changed it either way. I originally bought Lucky as a pup, eyes closed and all, for my first picky snake. He survived the night in with her, and I didn't have the heart to freeze him alive....so I bottle fed him and a few weeks later weaned him. Once he was weaned I bought Charlie as a weaned rat to be his friend.

Rats are really social, and I think mine are just the friendliest ones out there. I'd say if you got rats for pets, get them as young as possible, weaned is fine. Mine just want attention and love to be snuggled. I definitely suggest 2 or more. I've heard males can fight, but mine always did well together, maybe because they were so young when I put them together. If you want any other info you can PM me. I'll give you all the info I can.
