@padswaggle My best pet rat was a feeder I bought at a flea-market. I held it on my body and in my clothes for the rest of the day untill we went home and she was bonded for life. She had eight babies a week later and then we had nine best rats ever LOL. The one male she had was separated from all the girls quite early of course and then he was the best rat ever because he got more attention for being on his own. We went everywhere together. I miss him.
that's fine but it should be made quite clear that feeder rats are not suitable as pets and rats bred as pets have had much love, time and effort gone into raising them to be suitable as pets.
Nice that she points out that being in a pet shop and having no toys could cause them to suffer emotionally. Most likely true when you see how excited they can be with their toys!

Good comments on pet vs. feeder rats sold at pet stores. PETCO, for example, do not make that distinction.
