And you'll be happier too, because you'll have /lots/ of rats! Right?
I've been told that homosexual behaviour in rats is a way male rats demonstrate their dominance over one another as opposed to fighting, because it demonstrates that the rat on top is more powerful than the rat on the bottom. If I've understood this correctly, homosexual behaviour is not a sign that the rats are missing sexual action, but rather that they do not have a stable power hierarchy at the moment.
They are such beautiful boys!!! Love the colors! They look so inquisitive.
Don't assume they're heterosexual though. Rats are one of the over 40 mammals that scientists have documented engaging in homosexual behavior. I've seen it personally in my rat colony, and not just in displays of dominance.
Adorable! I have a 3 story with a hammock for my rat. She's pretty small, though, so she fits through the bars. I have to wait until she's a little bigger before she can inherit her new home. (I guess she had a rich uncle somewhere.)
Clearly Billy Graham was reincarnated as a rat for his horrific karma...frankly he probably had to blow a lot of folks up in the Celestial Bureaucracy to save himself from Banana slug. Maybe the Jade King owed him a favor.
your rat colours are the same as mine, exept the patterns are different. One of my girls (milly) is one colour, with a lil lighter grey on her underbelly, and the other one (molly) is grey, with a hint of dark grey patterns on her back (just about visable) and her underbelly and legs are white, looks like shes been dipped in white paint. lol beautiful ratties u have :-) i have lots of videos on mine :-) (i have 2 rats and 1 gerbil)
Our pet rat just passed away. I'm going to miss him, but he had a long and happy life for a rat, so I don't feel too bad. Your rats are adorable. Depending on who you asked, ours was named "Robin" (he was a hooded rat, and that's what my partner preferred) or "Mouse A. Tongue" because I'm a goofball.
Now you can do those cerebral-cortex experiments you've always been talking about, you know the one where extract the cortex from the rats brain and culture the cells so they can be analyzed and simulated in a digital neural network.
Aww I used to have two rats too. They ended up having 8 babies so I had to give them away. Be careful , they procreate at the speed of light :) They are very smart and cute though. The babies used to fall asleep in my pocket.
Yes they are. The reason I bought mine (a long time ago) was because I happen to be at a pet store and over heard this man saying he wanted them for his snake. I went right up to the counter and said I'd buy them before he could. :)
No, cats are by definition beautiful. Cows are well..... COWS. Plus they taste good with baked potatoes, sour cream, corn on the cob, fried onion rings, salad, Fava beans and and a nice Chianti (slurp-slurp-slurp-slurp-slurp-slurp).
Rats are great, but almost too smart to be good pets, I had one that could find the leverage point to topple an entire stack of Encyclopedia-Britanica books placed on top of the cage door because she previously figured out how to break its hinges.
I had an albino rat that bit me once, but she was ever so, ever so nervous. After a while though we became good friends and she never did it again. Once you build up trust they never bite.
I think that's the same cage I have for my pet ferret. Those two are cute, I really wanted rats but I had to settle for a sneaky weasel folk. I guess I shouldn't say settle...he is a badass.
cute....my gf has 2 also, one is called bruno, the oldest one and hes on detox, he was adicted to corn pops, man what a mess, the other is called lex, the little guy and growing funny animals, my girl just has a lot of them.
I caught a mouse in my room, in one of those biologists' box traps that my friend's mom let me borrow. It was adorable, but I had to release it near the creek.
My two dogs are gay... literally. They have gay dog sex all over the house... This wouldn't be disturbing if they weren't dogs. e.o

If you want to have rats as pets, that's cool. They stink a bit though.
Don't stop at two; get about 5 or more like some friends of mine did.
Then take one out and handle it.
Then put it back in the cage with the others (if you are cruel or ignorant of rat behaviour).
The others will sniff it, smell it is "different" and then kill and EAT it...
(I have nothing against rats. I think if you have two male rats and they hump, you need to introduce a female; they will be much happier...)
