The Rat Keepers Guide - Introduction

Rats make wonderful pets!

  • They are easier for children to handle, being bigger and slower than either mice or hamsters.
  • They hardly, if ever, bite.
  • They are as affectionate as dogs and as clean as cats.
  • They are easy to train, and many will learn to come when their names are called.
  • They don't cost quite as much as dogs or cats, as their food and even vets bills are cheaper.
