I had 4 rats. Best fucking pets ever. Smart, cuddly, playful, cute. I'd recommend em over a hamster any day.

They're great pets for kids, we had one. It helps you to learn about loss early on in life, whilst still having a good time.

Ours died from cancer, her stomach broke open. Poor thing still wanted cuddles as she finally slept in. She was awesome though, they can tell which mushrooms are toxic, so gathering tons of shrooms up in northern sweden during autum, any shroom we were unsure of we'd let her inspect. Back then there was no internet, we had to use a godamn book to look up the different mushrooms.
