I recently adopted a lone female rat, she seemed happy enough but was fairly jumpy in comparrison to my others, her former owner was a nice lady but she hadnt realised that she was better off with ratty friends. When I introduced her to the other rats she was at first terrified but she got over it very soon and within a few days she was relaxed and laid back and she really is the happiest rat I own now, she copies off the others and the joy she shows when shes being groomed is unbelievable. Humans can be loved by rats and visa versa but they cant give the rat the type of companionship they need from other rats. If you possibly can get her a ratty friend please do, you wont regret it when you see the look on her face.
