Wink Some please tell me rats are awful pets!

There's 6 girlies in the PAH adopton centre So I need people to tell me how awful they are as pets and that I don't want to get them!!

But also would someone tell me what cage would be best for 6 rats

Re: Some please tell me rats are awful pets!

Oh no hun stay way clear!!!! The way they lick your fingers is gross enough...but imagine them sitting on your shoulder licking ur ears. The worst feeling ever. Oh and the way they cuddle up your tshirt or "purr" when you get the right spot behind their ears....well is simply annoying beyond belief!

For the people who HAVE to take on six ratties....I think they would need something like a furret plus (the big one) or something similar.

Oh no, I wouldn't get rats if I were you. It is just terrible how they all follow you around, sit in your hoodie or pockets

Re: Some please tell me rats are awful pets!

Wow the cage is cheaper than I thought it would be

They are all black and white.. All snuggled up in a bundle together to I doubt many people would want to take them all on. Will take mum in to see them tomorrow
