He he he, my tailless was great! She was the most well behaved, best trained ever. I got her for my ex-fiance and when my ex went off to school she couldn't take the rat with her.
Yeah, my Gambian are like little cats. If i hear a crash i know it's not my cats but my rat. They like to climb into my closet and play dress up :-D
So far, though, my favorite breed has been dumbo. They are so smart and very agile! Every one i have had seems to be able to turn its back foot completely backwards for climbing. I have a little black one with a white belly i call Ninja, because she is super strong, will get out of her cage, hides well in the dark, and i'll wake up and find her on my ceiling fan! She is nuts! I always recommend dumbo to anyone, they are great.
P.S. were you thinking of the Emin's Pouched Rat? I want to find one soooo badly.
