Default Rats are amazing

Pet rats anyone?

I have two!


This is Alice (in wonderland)


This is Vivienne (Westwood)

I hope there are some rat fans out there.

Vivienne Westwood named after the mother of punk fashion? I had a hamster Miss. Ham-Ham but she died, she was 4 yrs old

Don't be sorry that was a long time ago, I used to be a huge Westwood fan, like I had so many Seditionaries reprints it was crazy.

I used to keep a crap load of rats. I had almost every variety and did quite a bit of breeding. They could honestly be the best pets. I just ran low on time and couldn't keep them anymore.

Oh my god YES.

My 2 are like little dogs. They come when I call them. They know their names and can do tricks. Earlier tonight Vivienne was sitting on my shoulder 'grooming' me, gently pulling my hair and very gently nibbling my face which is the way rats show affection to one another. They sit on my knee and love cuddles. They are free range rats, they are only in their cage at night and when I am not in. Scientists believe that rats have the same intelligence as dogs, they are absolutely hilarious, they can fetch a ball, my little Alice is so cheeky she steals everything she can carry to make a nest out off. Endlessly entertaining and so very affectionate. They make a clicking noise that is the same as when a cat purrs, they love being stroked, I could go on!

honestly one of the best animals in the world.

predator, that is such a shame. Did you have any hairless rats? I love those!

I would love more rats, I want one like this!

My 2 are just so insanely active, they love running around so I wouldn't trust them outside!

But I recently bought them a lead hopefully i can train them on it so I can bring them into the garden.

More rat stories please!
