Don't get me wrong, they do have a musky odor to them, but it is one I personally don't mind. Their trainability is amazing, I know several people that have them trained to go back into their cages (when they are outside of them) to use a litter pan.

Just don't leave any shiny, crackling objects around, they will disappear!

See, I can't STAND the smell of rats. It makes me sick. I think rats smell WAY worse. hahah

Mine will either go back in their cage to poop or they will go in the cat boxes. They also come out when they want and go back in the cage when they want to "put themselves away".

I'll tell ya.. I don't think you can get better entertainment as far as an animal goes. I laugh everyday because of the crazy things they do.
