Cuddle rats or "Feral" rats?

Hiya

My ratties are what I call feral rats. They are fine around me but would rather go off exploring and don't really like cuddles. I love them this way, as I love watching them explore and interact with each other. I don't know if I'd want very cuddly rats, but being able to handle them is a must for vets and health checks etc. What do you think? Rather have cuddle rats or feral rats?

Re: Cuddle rats or "Feral" rats?

I'm happy with either explorer rats or cuddly rats Luckily I have the best of both worlds because my boys are very cuddly and my girls are happy to be off exploring all the time. I don't prefer one over the other but having both is nice

Peace

I've got 4 adventure rats, although Bullseye is cuddlier than the others. I'm hoping to get a colony of boys when I refurbish the big cage so that I can have cuddles.

Re: Cuddle rats or "Feral" rats?

One of mine is an explorer, the other one just likes dark places and likes to sit under the bed cover, but niether of them like cuddles. I want more but I'm gonna wait till my hammys are gone, then get more rats.
