Fancy Rats

Does anyone else keep rats??

We have 5 and they are lovely little things, so clever and eager to spend time with you Just wondered if anyone else here was a rat lover. x

Had a hamster! Close

Hahaha almost!

Mrs calls me a dirty rat. Does that count?

Hmm, not really. It might have to do though lol

My mum used to have two rats, I've just got 2 ferrets now instead.
I loved the rats, they were so intelligent!

Used to have a black and white one about 10 years ago i called it Ravanelli but he left Middlesbrough i called him Ratanelli

No never had any don't think they are really for me but a mate has them and loves thems does all sorts with them.

ewww - god they are scary, their tails make me feel ill, they remind me of worms

I hate their tails too.I wouldnt have a rat as a pet.

Lots of people say that about their tails. I'm not sure why they freak people out. Mine are super cute, with lots of personality. My friends werent keen when I first got them but now they love them

I used to have one called Caffrey. I only had him for about 6 months tho. I was due to go to Iraq and my friends wouldnt loko after him. So i gave him to a bloke from work who had rats too. He was ace tho! I'dlove another but hubby doesnt like them either!

Awww i had two rats,just like your pair.They were fantastic,great personalities.They used to sit one on each side of me on my shoulders watching tv their names were Ronnie and Reggie.I just wish they had longer lives

I love animals including rats even wild rats but the thought of those teeth biting me i'd rather be mouled by a dog.those teeth just creep me out way to much but their very cute and very intelligent.
We used to own rats bubbles and squeak my brother being the cruel $£*& as he is put our hamster in with them and they started fighting i stuck my hand in there and the rats tore my hand up really bad but i got the hamster out alive the rats ended up dying of heart attacks they were really old.

Aww, yes mine do that too. The pics are of 2 of my girls. They like sitting on your shoulders, running up and down your arms etc. My 2 boys are much more cuddly and often fall asleep on me. Bless them.

No just me but the rats and hamster died a few days later. Really sad though my mum took the rats outa their cage and put them on top once they died and went to get a box to bury them she came back and they were both gone she looked around and found our three cats playing with them out the garden baby and sooty were fighting over squeak and muppet run off with bubbles.
