1. I love rats, but

Janet won't let me get any... When I lived in Minneapolis I used to bike thru this neightborhood (Hopkins) and these kids usually had a lemonade stand set up. If you bought lemonade they let you hold a rat!!! Seriously... They had a serious bidness going...

2. Surely you jest!

3. Sorry I hate rats

Fortunately, I've never had to come face to face with one. They scare me more than spiders and bats put together. :-(

5. Agreed

Rats, PET rats, are really cool!!! They are not like the city sewer variety, thay are clean and smart!

6. I'm still sad...

One of my rats died. I had two...down to one...but they aren't those skanky rats that you find in the sewers. They were white with brown heads with a stripe down their backs.

9. I like hampsters and gerbils

I suppose a nice white "mouse" might make a nice pet.

When I visited my family in NY as a little kid, they would tell me stories of "subway rabbits" big rats that grew large eating garbage. I've had a phobia of them ever since.

8. My moms cats would love one!

10. our hamster did that after we brought her home from the store

we kept her and two offspring; two were eaten, the rest given away to neighbors and the pet store

11. Ahhh. that is why we made sure we have only same sex cages

here are my little buddies... the ratoni twins, Hope and Chance



this is how they greet me every time I come in the room, they really are cool pets to have... the cats ignore them now.

13. Yup!

Rats are way cool! Had two pet ratties, Gidget and Fidget years ago. They were super affectionate, friendly and well-behaved.

PLUS... rats don't stink like mice, hamsters and other typical small pets.

I once lifted Fidget WHILE she was giving birth (I obviously didn't know it at the time) and she VERY LIGHTLY nipped my finger to let me know. Once she was done birthing, she let me handle every baby. She was a sweetheart.

16. I love ratties, but

unfortunately, so do my three large and predatory cats - and not in the same way. It would not be kind to subject a rattie to the catmonsters.

17. My python likes new friends.
