Be careful not to criticize to quick, as one could call a muskrat an amphibious rodent.

Also, rats/mice are illegal in other neighboring countries, such as Canada having outlawed rats in certain provinces.

What's an amphibious rodent? idiot.

Anyway, keeping rats and mice as pets is perfectly legal (farretts, on the other hand are not legal in all states yet). In fact the narrator of this video holds a completely legal Fancy Rat and Mouse club with shows (and the Rats and Mice can be just plain pets too!) in the Riverside, CA area. It's a great club, contact me if u want info on the club or pet Rats and Mice.

Also, let's not forget - let's *not* forget, Dude - that keeping wildlife, an amphibious rodent, for uh, domestic, you know, within the city - that aint legal either.

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
