Title: Rats
Post by: Debbie.nl.ca on April 10, 2011, 07:54:16 AM

For those not on my facebook.
I am fostering rats for the Bird & Small Animal Rescue.
They are not chinchillas  ;) I don't think I'll ever want to own one. ::)
But they are different, very smart, and like to be cuddled. They play with each other way more than chins do.

Lets see if this works  ;)

Well, I'll say its very of nice of you to do it.  I certainly couldn't.  I am so creeped out by rats.  I know they are supposed to make wonderful pets but rats and ferrets scare me!    ;D

If I hadn't gotten chins first maybe, ;) but they can't compare to them :blush2:
I have a problem rat that |I've been working with, and he's doing very well now. He was the runt and bit his owner so she never touched him again. ::)
They are as smart and cute as the chins just a lot more work I find.
