Red face I am thinking about getting rats...

I have inquired into three older boys. I haven't personally owned rats before so thought older would be best. I have been researching them more or less as long as I have been on this site as so many of you lucky people have them.

BTW...Daisymoo...doesn't mean I am not interested...but think older, tame, more slow boys would be better now.

I don't want to be rash but nor do I want to miss out on the perfect opportunity.

They come with a cage which looks decent size too. And their owner seems really nice.

Not sure why I am posting this...opinions?...Advice is always appreciated! Meh!!

xx

Re: I am thinking about getting rats...

Big ol' boys are always good :3 Don't let that lead you into a false sense of security though lol, they can still move when they want to! But much more manageable than girls, especially little ones Hope you enjoy them if you do decide to have them!

They sound great and I think you are likely to be lynched by certain people if you get any ratties from me anyway

Re: I am thinking about getting rats...

A lot of people would over look older ratties so good on you!!!.

Rats make such wonderful pets, so trust me when I say, you wont regret it.

Let us know if you get the boys.

Oh don't I know...been so envious of people here. Hamsters are great...but they don't make the same owner connection. But rats...from what people have said...really do! xx
