Fun Pet Facts: Rats make excellent pets! 🐀
🐾 Domestic rats make wonderful, affectionate, and clean pets. They are intelligent, playful, can learn tricks and come when they are called. They groom themselves often and can learn to use a litter box. They love to cuddle and be tickled; they sit on your shoulder and enjoy interacting with people. They also like being with other rats and need at least one “friend” to spend time with. 🐀❤️
If you are considering a rat as a pet, just remember that they have short life spans (2-3 years) like many smaller rodent pets. They can develop certain health problems and also need daily playtime outside their cage.
