I love my rats.:) if you handle them they stay nice and are great pets. But I have a friend that dropped her rat and scared it.. now it is the meanest lil thing ever.

Answer #4

Awww, Rest in Peace Spike <3 I had a pet rat named Spike and he was the best! I didn’t put him in a cage I let him roam the house even thouh I had three cats, the cats are more afraid of rats then they are mice. I don;t know why. He was so easy to take care of.

Answer #5

If they are raised properly they are amazing pets - 2 of mine were abused servery in the past so they bite but that’s not their fault. They are easy to take care of if they have the proper cage and owner. We have 6 cats - but the rats cage is in a different room.
