Rats are kinda like small dogs. I know that my rats that have "pet status" are very hand tame and love attention. The two young ones I'm growing up to be breeders, get all excited when I come into the room and they sit up on their hind legs and wait for me to open their cage so they can come out and get attention. Its so cute.

I feel bad for the lady though. Some people just should not own certain types of pets.
