the best thing for you rat as well as a cat carrier would be a same sex friend!!
rats are highly socialble animals and need company of there own kind.
its not reckomended to keep a lone rat they need to live in pairs or groups so they can groom each other and cuddle up,playfight and just in general be company for each other.
rats on there own become miserable and depressed and i for one would not like to be kept on my own if i were a rat.
please get yours a couple of friends
