Rats Domesticated rats make ideal pets for anyone, especially children.
They are lively, clean, intelligent, inquisitive and will form lasting friendships with their owners. When choosing your pet rats, contact a reputable breeder. Watch closely how the rats are handled, and do not be afraid to ask questions. Make sure you are confident in handling the rats yourself before making the final decision. Bucks often scent-mark their territory with tiny drops of urine.
