*Rats.
Hot damn, I love rats. They're hella rad.
So, discuss.
I'm pretty sure not a lot of people here actually know a lot about them but even if you say something like "aww i like rats they're cute" or some random fact about them, then heck, post it here if you wanna. I just wanna rave for the most part, but heck, why not risk it and see if anybody else here actually knows about them?
I'm getting my first pair today; a mink self and a black self, if I didn't miss any marking on them. Emil (ih-meal) is going to be the mink, and Iris (eye-riss) is going to be the black. They're both girls, about 8 months, they are going to be in a Rat Manor. And I love them already. We're getting them at 3PM EST and they are faboo.
*by rats I mean the long-domestic, fancy rattus norvegicus/brown rat, not the newly-domestic gambian pouched rat, or packrats or whatever
If you're here to say something like "EW RATS STARTED THE PLAGUE" or "RATS ARE GROSS/STINKY/FILTHY/EVIL/OTHER INSULT', then leave. Right now. And guess what? Rats didn't start the plague. Fleas did--and even now, there is new evidence that the plague was airborne. Rats also are as intelligent as dogs, can learn more tricks than dogs quite actually, groom themselves more than cats, and are just so cute and sweet. If there is an aggressive rat, it's because some idiot damaged it, and guess what? They are never damaged beyond repair. You can fix them with immersion. It's people's fault for their bad reputation, and if you choose to believe it, then you should leave. They're like lower maintenance dogs. They are amazing. You don't have to agree with my opinion, but if you're gonna sit on this thread and complain about it, that's when it becomes an issue.
