themselves constantly. They are usually easier to
bathe than a cat.
Rats are compact.

prefer to hide in your shirt, or on your neck.
Rats don't usually bite. -
The few times I have ever been bitten was when I
came across a biter (one out of twenty) or more
commonly when I held out a treat the wrong way.
They mistake fingers as treats if you aren't
holding it right.
Rats don't bark.-
You won't have neighbors complaining about the
rats keeping them up all night.
Rats love attention.

They can spend hours sleeping all day and the
minute you come home are ready to play and be
loved.
Rats are good pets for
kids. - They are better at allowing a
child to hold them. Even small children can enjoy
watching their antics.
Rats don't cost much.
- Okay, like any pet their is a cage investment.
There are no annual shots, no licensing fees.
Also, rats like homemade toys like boxes just as
much as store bought ones.
Rats love to share.
- Just eat a bowl of food with a rat in your lap.
Before long you will be sharing your soup,
cereal, salad or whatever.
Rats dedicate their lives
to you. - You are making a 2-4 year
investment of your life to a pet who in turn is
sharing their whole little life with you. They
ask only for a clean home, good food, clean
water, and a little love in return.
