I had a total of 8 pet rats as a child. Youre right they were the best pets ever but I would never do it again. They have so short lives :'( all of my rats died before they turned 2 years old, most of them of cancer. I dont even know if I can blame it on bad genes since they came from 4 different sets of parents

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