Rats r like tiny puppies. Very sociable too. I've had 3. I don't think I will ever get another one tho. They only live about 3 years & by that time I was super attached. It was very hard on me to see each of them go. I have all 3 of their ashes in cedar boxes on shelves now.

@debbiebuster Thank you for saving the life of that innocent individual. I have tried just plain water as a release agent in an attempt to free a mouse and it does not work. I have since rescued many mice off of glue traps using vegetable or nut oil (I do superintendent work and have come across mice stuck on glue traps). A person has to be quite heartless to put out a glue trap knowing that the result will always be terror experienced and an agonizing death for the mouse.

@mmissinglink I helped a poor little lizard get off a glue trap, used water and he was fine. I just couldn't watch him die that way. They are helpfull insects, too.

@desiv13 they only have one problem, they don't live long enough!

@Knaagdierenopvang But their instinct is to lick their paws which will have the soap on and it will be ingested, surely?
Rat's are such good pets and it makes me sad that not enough people know it =(

@mmissinglink BTW, if you ever come across a mouse on a glue trap, vegetable or nut oil (ie, olive, sesame, safflower, corn, peanut, soybean, etc, etc) is the thing that helps release them from the death-gripping glue. Do not use anything else as other substances may cause severe irritation. But please try to save the mouse if you do find one still alive stuck on a glue trap.
