@MrSouthphillyitalian, first of all, we haven't had a baby in the house for over 20 years. The "baby" you hear is Molly's voice. Molly showed no aggression towards her keepers at all. To strangers she was dangerous I must admit. We had to make sure she was in her compound when company was over. Her compound was 10' x 20' with a swimming pool which she used year round no matter how cold it was.

i'd never have that SUPER rat as pet, not gonna lie, not being deep either
Does she ever bite? What kind of interaction did she have with you (playful, uninterested, chews/bites everything/everyone, enjoy petting, ect.)? Also, was she litter box trained or kept in a designated room? We adopted 2 ferrets for a year, then re-homed them as it was too difficult/time consuming to keep their 'bedroom' (our spare room w/ their cage) up to health standards, but we didn't want them caged all day. I'm curious about nutria - they remind me of capybara!

@Aquaticopia Yes, she did bite. Actually more of a pinch but very painful and it left a bruise. She loved playing but only with our immediate family. She attacked anyone else. She had a 10' x 20' compound with a swimming pool. There is no way a nutria could be kept in the home. They need to swim and love eatting the vegetation. (which is why they hunt them in Louisiana. They eat the roots of the grass that holds the levees together.) They are very destructive in that sense. (continued)

@Aquaticopia (Her pen had page link fencing buried under the mud so she could not dig her way out.)

@oliviakinz9 - To be honest I don't remember. I do know that we purchased a feeding bottle from the pet store to give her milk in the beginning. That was about 7 or 8 years ago when she was a baby.
