Obviously a little different but we got pet rats recently and they’re lovely little creatures. Super inquisitive and you have to have a steady stream of ways to hide their food as a form of enrichment so they don’t get bored.
Apparently you can’t readily keep them on their own because they become depressed with the solitude.
10/10 pet, would recommend.
- neom 3y agoHello fellow rat owner. I've had 13 rats through the years! :) One other great thing about rats, you can train them like their little dogs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV9z0c1hjnA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV9z0c1hjnA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKLVm6rxaJA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKLVm6rxaJA (and yes, can't keep a rat alone, they get very depressed)
- aidos 3y agoThat’s a lot of rats, but I can see why! I was totally naive and unprepared going into it. As a result, we got ours from people who had done a terrible job with them. The cage was just wire levels with nothing for them to explore. They’re not well socialised and were slowly working to build their trust. I should have known that people who would name a pet “fridge” wouldn’t be prize keepers. Anyway, we’re giving them a much better life and I’m glad we got them out of there.
