I just wanted to warn people who are considering getting a couple of rats, a little know fact is that rats carry the addictovirus that causes nearby humans to become addicted to rats, I personally have fallen victim to this syndrome. This is not unusual as I am personally very succeptible to rodent addictions however this particular strain has also affected my husband who is usually immune. He has been found holding the rats and when I suggested getting more rats he said yeah but I like these dumbo ones . Now he is talking about looking at cages so he can help choose the one he likes and moving things round so we can fit it in the lounge. So as you can see this addiction is very fast acting, please take precautions before it happens to you, unless of course this warning comes to late to help you.
