Rat appriation post (AMA) - Beehaw

I love rats. I really do. Ask me anything pet-rat related.

Yeah, cool pets. Just a pity that the typical ones are bred to get cancer and thus usually don’t live that long.
True. The way I see it, though, is it's their entire life for them. It doesn't really matter. And one rat dying is an opportunity to provide a better life for another one. It's morally correct and utilitarian, I think!

I wish a breeder would focus on domesticating and shrinking gambian pouched rats.

They don't seem far off.

Or could get a degu.
