  • Well there's a lot to think about if you gonna get a GP rat! I've had 3 & I know it's both time consuming & very hard pets to take care of. If you still wanna get one try to read everything you can about them first & talk to GP rat owners first. They don't have the same personality as a normal pet rat. GPs can be very agressive if not handled from an early age & if you manage to get it tame it still can be agressive to both friends & family members.

  • Really? Cool:) But I can assure you that it was a usual sewer rat and not a GP rat.

  • They can eat a little chocolate:) It's fine as long as you don't give them to much! :)

  • hello, nice pet! love rats, i am from argentina, i`ve never seen a rat that big, what kind of rat is it?

  • Hi, it´s a Giant Gambian pouched rat. They are the biggest rat breed in the world:D I have a new GP rat now, his name is Salex:)

  • can you find that in any pet store?

  • @iMSoHigh420ritenow

    As far as I know you cant. I've bought mine from special breeders in Sweden. I think there are only 3 GP rat breeders in my country.

  • @GigawattRat After my rat died, my vet told me giving rats a high calorie diet (chocolate has tons of calories for such small portions) can give them tumors (rats are prone to tumors to begin with).

  • @RazorBladeAngel1 how can u tell?

  • I have think about to get a rat...well not yet at least, i am going to get my apartment maybe in winter, but i have a question about rats!

    Is gp-rats like ordinary rats, i mean can they learn tricks and yeah you know, do they have the same personality? :)

  • I...Want one.

  • you cant go out with rats... its stressy for them. and dont give them too much chocolate only a little little little bit.

  • O.M.G how preCIOUS!!!!!! i want one!!  Rats are such fantastic little pets, i love them and their little faces so much :p

  • COOL! 

  • is it normal to bring your pet rat to the park and play with it and have ir run around in a field please repley if u think its normal or not lol idk

  • @RazorBladeAngel1 Pound for pound, rats have better resilience to the theobromines in chocolate than humans. You take more of a risk giving a 8lb baby chocolate than one of these guys.
