Meet The M-Rats
I have had rats for almost a year now, and I have to say, I enjoy them thoroughly! I had seen them in pet stores and always assumed they were like hamsters or gerbils - I couldn't have been more wrong! Rats are so much sweeter and more interactive than any of the other small rodents that I've kept! They are the funniest little animals to watch; they hold their food in their little hands, and take vigorous little baths, and perform all sorts of acrobatic stunts. Some of them will actually lick your face and hands like a tiny puppy!
Here are my rats, in reversed order of appearance...
