Hi,
DD is pet mad and is longing to get an interactive pet that's "just hers" (we have a dog, a cat and 5 hens, and she has a fish tank in her room). She asked about a mouse but I've also heard that rats make great pets.
I've read up on it and they sound good, and she'd be good to take care of it / them - I've read that they're very social animals and love company).
Have any experience of keeping them? Is it a good idea, what are the pitfalls, what do I need to know?
Thanks!
