I love that! I love Dr Seuss books! We have a huge collection..

Don't blame ya!

Dr. Seuss is my hero!!!

Yep, I've had rats They aren't long-lived, unfortunately. Personally I would go with males over females just because females are so prone to mammary tumors and cancer.

They're very sweet, friendly, social animals. In fact, since they're social, it's better to have two than one. They keep each other company when their human can't be with them.

This website is where I did a lot of my reading and research when I owned mine, which was years ago: https://www.dapper.com.au/articles.htm The cage this person made for their rats is amazing.

If you do end up getting a couple for her, try to go with a breeder and not a pet store. Better quality stock that's been socialized.

Nowadays I'm more about reptiles and birds, lol. My beardie and my parrot are my shoulder pets instead of rats

Excellent advice!!!

Look what we found

He will live at our house.
He will grow & grow.

Orr sent the obnoxious wind down south.
I almost said 'her obnoxious wind' but that might have been construed wrong.

I'd say you're right on that being misconstrued...
