Males are larger than females. Males also tend to be less active and placid and usually just like to hang around whilst females are usually very active. Male rats can be nuetered to allow them to be kept with females or to reduce aggressive behaviour toward other males. We recommend purchasing two rats instead of one. Make sure you purchase animals that are the same sex.
Rats are social animals.
While you are home, the rat has someone to play with but if you work or go to school, there are a lot of hours when the rat will be left on its own. Having two rats is just as easy as having one. They require no additional space and will give you hours of pleasure watching them play together. Having two rats will not decrease the rats interaction with you. Feeding A healthy diet is important to maintain the health of your pet and to extend his life.
