Rats can vary a lot in how friendly and sociable they are. I've even had some rats that were just totally friendly and intrested in humans immediately and wanted to climb onto hands as soon as they got home. It's intresting how variable this can be. On that note, as general advice for people looking to get rats, if you can get rats from an actual breeder (as in, a pet breeder, not someone who breeds them as food or something), these rats tend to be a lot friendlier and more social to begin with, since they're used to good handling and a friendly, trustworthy human. They might cost a bit more, but it's in my experience always worth it to get them from a breeder, rather than a pet store, if possible.
@Altitudes2 жыл бұрын
My experience was always that ones from a good breeder were much quicker to bond with me but in the long term store bought rats got every bit as attached. Health wise is a different story. Always do your research and go for a good breeder.
@goblinrat61192 жыл бұрын
@@Altitudes Yeah, definitely. I was mostly giving advice for an easy start for people new to keeping rats. In the long term, rats from a pet store can be just as wonderful and friendly (and honestly, not even that long, they learn to trust a trustworthy owner quickly!) You're right about the health issues. I've had a lot of rats, both from pet stores and from breeders, and the ones from pet stores tend to live shorter lives (possibly due to inbreeding, bad care as babies, or whatever), and may have issues when they come in.
@IceHibiscus2 жыл бұрын
This is less about general, newcomer advice and is more directed at people that have already had rats and focus on sociability. I don't shy away and get the ones that have been abused, because someone has to socialize them. Beginner? Fine, you need to start easy. But after that, getting only the most sociable rats ignores all the rescue rats that are tired of being rehomed and being uncomfortable in their own skin from isolation. One of the sweetest rats that I ever had was the most aggressive I have ever seen. He was surrendered after a pet store sold him but obviously not to a prepared soul. It took months, but my wife and I turned it around for him. He had a good life after the point most people did not expect much from him. I guess this post is for people that will maybe look at rat adoption a bit differently after reading this. This path isn't for everyone, but maybe another rat like my Carl can have a happy ending too.

@@IceHibiscus but I personally wouldn't purchase a rat from a pet store, just like I wouldn't purchase a dog from a pet store or breeder. It's unfortunate for the pets that will go without homes, but it will save many more in the long run if we stop giving money to businesses that are breeding animals for profit without caring about the animals' needs. If there's no demand, they'll have to lessen the supply, and eventually stop or change their practices completely. I definitely think that rescuing pets is a good thing, but I don't think that encouraging people to give money to the folks who hurt these animals to begin with is a good idea.

Cyclone is so cute! Can't wait to see what mischief she'll get into with the other chaos potatoes! When I got my current rats Iris and Meisha, Iris had champagne Siamese points and a champagne cap on her head with a little white mark in the middle of it like Cyclone's. Since then, the cap turned white, her points became brown-gray, and there's a bit of a gradient between the brown-gray and white from the base of her tail to the middle of her back.

protip: lick a cheerio and let them take it from your hand. ratties share food. and IF a rat lets another rat take food from their mouth its a huge bonding experience so a little spittle on cheerio in your hand means 'i trust you enough to feed you. i will always have food to share' good way to make friends! they will even expect a little pet because ratties groom each other after sharing food so if you are speaking rat you HAVE to rubble em just a little bit to seal the meal!
