Fancy rats..are they good pets?

yea, I think so.I love rats. I had 2 one mohawk and snikers… they liked to sit on my shoulders, but have a towl or something they can get a little messy. but you can train them to do stuff like stand up and dance… I did mine…

rancy rats are the best pet possible I have 9 rats myself. they are very sociable and often like sitting on your shoulder whilst you watch telly. they have big appetites and will often eat anythins as long as it hase no suger or salt in it. they do need a companion in there cage so if they don’t get along with anotyer rat use a teddy. they are clean and friendly and will hardly ever bite

I think rats are great pets, I used 2 have 1 called mr jazz rat, hewas 6 when he died pretty old!! 4 a rat, mr jazz rat came evry wer with me, I trained him 2 get in 2 a handbag and he usd 2 sit in it, an have his head stikin out an he used 2 climb up on why shoulder an walk around with me lol he was so kool!! I was really upset when he died tho:( an chinchilas are pretty wild lol my mum used 2 have 1, yer there pretty crazy, jumpin around an stuff, I prefer a rat to a chiny tho xx

Oh my god rats are AMAZING PETS. I have a few right now. They will bond to you like no other. Sometimes I’ll accidentally fall asleep on a couch with them.. and they may wander, but I always wake up with them curled up against my stomach or in the crook of my arms. They are wonderful and give you so much love. Just be careful with rats bought from petstores… they often don’t live very long because they are inbred. Lots of them get tumors and are susceptible to pneumonia later in life. But, if you don’t mind that and want to save some awesome rats from being potential snake food then GO FOR IT. You won’t regret it. Be aware that males smell much worse than females because they mark their territory… changing their cage relieves the smell only temporarily, because when you put them back in they need to re-mark their spots!!

Don’t even get me started on pet rats! !!! I almost prefer them over dogs! I am so sad that I cannot have rats where I live now! Rats are the best pets ever! They need allot of room though so get a big cage and get at least two because they need company. Unless you can spend several hours with them a day I strongly suggest getting two.

Also boys leave little pee trails so I got girls.

Like someone said above you may want to look into pet rat breeders. My rats died at age 3 from tumors and respiratory infection because of bad breeding and one had behavioral problems I had to work on. It would pay off not to buy a feeder rat, but then again you are saving a rat that may be killed.

Fancy rats make awesome pets! Rats are pretty friendly animals. They love to play around and they’re cute too. That picture is a pic of my rat, Mint.

Rats are the greatest. I had 2 pairs that I used to mate and sell the babies. there were smart. they would walk around the apartment complex with me. they knew there names. they knew how to turn on the lamp in the livingroom. if there food was low the one would come find me and show me that they needed food. rats are the best pets to have. I stopped breeding them and just keep the four. then after about 4 years they started to die. the last one was almost 6 when she died. when she died that was it. I still have my cage. and thinking about getting started again. enjoy them they even played with my cat. the cat would go to the cage and tap on it with his paw. and 1 or 2 of the rats would jump up out of the cage and they would go to the kitchen and play. the only bad thing is now we got 2 mice in the house and the cat wont get them. he just looks at them.
