www.barkandwhiskers.com/2023-08-29-rat-behaviorsStory at-a glance Only a small percentage of pet parents own domestic rats, which is really too bad, since these little “pocket pets” are intelligent, inquisitive, and affectionate Capable of cuddling, coming when called, learning tricks and bonding with their humans much like a dog or cat does, rats offer many of the benefits that draw people to other pets, but require only a fraction of the space Typical behaviors of pet rats include bruxing and boggling, climbing, investigating, and playing; each behavior has a natural, intended purpose Rats are charismatic creatures who will quickly become part of your family if you let them; like all pets, they require daily interactions, a healthy diet, and exercise My notes: I have had hamsters but not rats or mice. While rats are quite intelligent, I'm not sure if I'd be ready to have one. Do you have them as pets? What do you think of them?
