Re: I Need A Rat Please

You can find rats in most pet stores that house animals, maybe even a garden centre? There are rescues and shelters too. Also, like Hilary said, they are best kept in pairs of the same sex! I would recommend two males as they are more likely to be large enough when fully grown, for your little girl to handle and will be more relaxed and will want to cuddle down into your lap or neck to fall asleep.

They make great pets and won't smell too bad provided you keep the cage properly clean.

Please dont go to a petshop if you want a healthy rat that will be tame and live a long time. Also agree here...dont just get one!!!! I have a cage with five girls in and did have 2 old boys but one died at the weekend

They are VERY sociable!!! There are so many breeders around the UK where you can get healthy, friendly and tame rats!!! If you doa google search for Thames Valley Rodents you will find everything you need to know!! Breeders, varieites everything. It is excellent!!
