I haven't had rats for probably 16 years. Live ones anyway.

Tossing around the idea of getting the kids a couple in the future though.

In my experience they are excellent pets I have had them for years and if you get them from a reputable breeder they don't bite provoked or unprovoked. Very loving and playful.

Oh I know - they're great. I've actually never been bitten by a rat and I've been around hundreds. I think the most I've ever had at a time was around 15. I used to breed and show a bit. I mainly bred and showed mice though. My rats were mainly pets. Pretty pets haha.

I don't own any, nor do I plan to, but I know @Overo Mare knows a lot about them.
