The Queen Declares...

We got there and I was like "can someone help me with the rats?" And the guy came over and I was like "rats please." He's like "you want to see them?" I was like "No, I want to take them home. I don't even need to see them, just give them to me."

@vengeance: the most I've had at one time was 12, usually I have around 8 or 9.

@Lina: I just posted a thread with pictures of the 2 new boys. They're black hooded, I have a brown hooded boy, and a double rex grey boy (he has Dumbo ears, the rest are top ear), which means he has random little bald spots haha.
Both my girls are dark brown hooded.

@Queen of Trash: you have a mix of boy and girl?
I’ve only ever had female rats.

@Queen of Trash: do they have good personalities?
Around here pet stores only carry female pet rats, male rats are all feeder rats. (Bred for feeding to snakes) so they aren’t born into a pet environment and tend to be aggressive.

Do you train your rats at all?
My sister always had hers litter trained so they could wander the house without worry about them needing to pee or anything. But I don’t know if that’s normal or if she’s just intense. XD

@Lina: Yeah, boys tend to be more cuddly than girls. My girls are always GO GO GO. The boys will let you hold them longer and tend to be less energetic.

I train them to know their names, follow my finger (it's fun to play with them like this, you can move it in circles and they chase it haha), and they know to come when they hear the treat bag. We have a designated rat play area. They get to play out of cage there. We have a dog so it has to be blocked off. I hangout with them in there, they like to climb me and come gives kisses and chase my finger.

@Queen of Trash: that sounds like a lot of fun!

My brother has turned his guest room into a ferret room. It took him a while to get the whole room ferret safe, it’s basically just covered in a tarp. But it’s nice they have a lot of room to run around and play.

@Lina: They have a huge cage but I love giving them playtime. I wish the area was bigger but it's something at least. I have a small cage for the area, they use it for water and if they have to go to the bathroom.

@Queen of Trash: one of the great things about rats is that they are smart enough to go to the bathroom NOT in the middle of a play area. So many animals just don’t care or aren’t smart enough to think about it. Rats are just cleaner that other animals.

@Lina: yeah rats are very clean animals. I didn't ever have to teach any of mine not to poo or anything in the play area, they just automatically realized that's not where you go.

@Queen of Trash: my mom keeps trying to teach her dog tricks and it’s such an idiot.
I mean, it’s brain is larger than a whole rat, but it sure is a lot dumber than one.

@Lina: hahaha, I tried teaching my dog some normal tricks and he's just like I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING TO ME. But he was able to learn the service dog tasks he needed to know. So I don't know how his brain works.

@Queen of Trash: I think Mom’s dog can sit for treats, and that’s it.
Well, she learned to ring a bell if she wants to go outside because she won’t make noises.
But that was a big challenge.

@Queen of Trash: uhm, that’s hilarious.
I really really want a therapy dog. But I’m just not home enough to have a dog. I would feel so bad he was home alone for most of the day.
