I love rats. Domestic rats are some of the sweetest, cleanest pets a person could have, and I respect the cunning and resilience of wild rats, keyword respect. Wild rats are just as ferocious and dangerous as any other wild animal, so you won't find me trying to snuggle up to a New York city sewer rat anytime soon, any more than you'll catch me trying to hug a Russian timber wolf.I strongly agree with everything you just said :3
I love rats. I currently have two, and at one point had four. Ive had a total of 15 ratties over the year. Im sick and tired of the people who get caught up in the stupid rat stereotype (or any stereotype). They never bite unless you basicly leave them no choice. Once my sister accidentally ran over one of my rats tails with a rolling chair (Its tail was bleeding) And you know what it did? It squeaked and ran on on her lap. The never bite. They dont carry diseases if their well breed. Their tail is a tail. Get over it. Rats have helped test new medicines. In they wild they can be aggressive but are still amazing. In the wild they have higly socalized packs. Thats why when you have a pet one your supposed to have two rats so they dont get lonely. A rat left alone with no cage mate and is scarcely played with can become depressed. Wouldn't you?I think you just officially became my best friend.. xD I love rats. I have two females, they are so loving! If you wouldn't mind answering a question, can you tell me what some good games for rats are? Mine tend to be a bit picky, Lily will play the bobbing for peas game, but my other rat won't and they don't care for toys or anything. I find they never want to play or do anything but explore and get treats. Sorry I'm getting off topic here, anyways you're amazing. I'm glad I was able to find another rat lover here ^_^
Sorry for the long post. I love my ratties <3
Pet rats are very cute little creatures in my opinion. Pet rats don't have disease stuff, people!I'm glad you can see them in a good light ^_^ Pet rats rarely ever bite, mine never have. If you really think about it though, is it really the wild rats faults that they have diseases? they aren't evil they just aren't so fortunate, but yeah I see your point .
Rats are cute and handsome creatures. Bigger than mice, smaller than rabbits. They are cool.
I know some things about them, in fact I've seen a pile of baby rats in a pet store (kinda a pet store) before. Cute little guys. Or was that mice... I remember it as rats.
Wild city rats are a bit disgusting, because they are the ones that have disease as I've heard.
Pet rats are completely different. They are good pets I'm sure, and I don't think they should be treated as hated sewer creatures.
So, I have to agree. I honestly don't mind rats, I hear the pets bite a little bit, and I've had bad experiences with being bitten by a rabbit... But I honestly don't mind them.
They are good creatures. Well, I guess I've made my point. Post over. ^_^
A sudden increase in appetite usually means she's pregnant. As this is common trait for most "Mothers to be" they increase there eating to also feed them and there litter they are carrying. Looks like someone os going to be a grandma. Anyway, like mentioned above already leave necessary items for her to make a proper nest for herself, if not something suitable to be one such as a hand made next. Here ill also provide a link of more information on this so it would give you a better idea:Thank you! but it turns out Lily is not pregnant, id she was it would be the longest rat pregnancy ever! she appears to have lost a bit of weight and gotten back to normal, eating normal. She had been building a pretty hidden nest before but she stopped that when she got back to normal. Maybe she was pregnant and the babies died? I have no clue. She isn't showing any signs anymore. Maybe she was just getting fat and lazy, no clue.

But something like this shouldn't be quiet, I would tell your parents about this and what actions should be taken. Taking care of a mama rat and her babies isn't really a walk in the park. Ovcorse they can naturally take care of themselves but without proper monitoring over the babies and if she does give birth to a male, then there might be more babies you got on your hands. Perhaps get your rats neutered to prevent more babies.
