Hey everyone,
It wasn't long ago that I had a similar thread to this one where I wanted you to tell me about having rabbits. This time I'm asking about rats.
Basically DS 9y and I love animals. He I has 3 guinea pigs who are amazing, but he wants more pets. We've discussed various animals in the last few weeks and he's now settled on rats. I have read up on them in the past, when I got his first pigs I got it down to either pigs or rats and went for pigs instead. From what I read rats are friendly happy little devils.
Have any of you got rats, can you help me please. I am prepared to get a big enough cage, more than 1 rat so they aren't lonely, daily cleaning and attention etc. etc. but what I need to know are the hardest things about having them. The worst bits I suppose.
I read somewhere that they can become aggressive and depressed if they don't get enough attention and get bored. How much attention do they need?
Thank you,
