Babies Ate My Dingo Yes, yes they are. The washing is ridiculously cute. Watching them go pea-fishing in a dish of water is also fun.
kennydra truth. i *loved* my rats (RIP harry and oscar). ya gotta get male rats though, they're way friendlier. and 90% of the time the females are pregnant, even when theyre like 3 weeks old. but yes, highly adorable, trainable, and portable pets.
fluffy And pretty clean. It's not their fault they end up living in dirty spaces in the wild!
poorwill I have a small pack of rats living in my walls and ceiling right now. They frequently wake me up at night. I do not share your warm feelings towards this species.
The one in the video is cute though!
WHO WANTS DESSERT Nah, females are the way to go, they're way less aggressive and don't have gross oversized testicles.
sparklefatty They wouldn't be so big if you didn't make them so angry.
MacGyver Style Bomb Males can leave a natural stink, however I've seen females leave huge messes during their menstruation cycles.
Sadly, I'm allergic to them.
fatatty My pet will eat your pet. And the pets in your walls.
pineapplejuicer all of my stars are for the creepy rat owner
Dread Pirate Roberts Definitely for the owner here. The rat was just doing his thing.
Binro the Heretic Rats should do this often because they really, REALLY love to coat themselves with their own urine. It's some kind of throwback to primitive behavior. They coat themselves in piss so when they walk and brush up against things they leave a scent trail.
I like rats. I've had a lot of pet rats, but they are nasty, dirty little beasts.
Hamsters are just as cute and much cleaner. They can even be taught to use a tiny little litter box.
StanleyPain Hamsters suck. They're cute and all, but they tend to do things like eat their roomates and babies and pretty much any other hamster-sized animal they are placed with.
memedumpster Hamsters are diabetes cute, but they're so dumb you can almost control them with your mind. Except the Siberian ones, which are just mean.
snppls So what, do I buy a hamster or rat now? I'm hearing pros and cons for both.
MrBuddy Did you try bathing them in shallow water like this person did? I always got scratched up because I tried bathing them by putting them under the running faucet.
