My Pocket Pals

Rats have an bad reputation but the domesticated varieties make wonderful pets. They are very social & enjoy playing games. They love to finger wrestle, chase shoe laces, unravel toilet paper & can be taught tricks. I have used them for Pet Therapy visits. I am hoping to show how cute & what nice pets they make ...I recommend rats over most rodents as pets since they enjoy human interaction. I hope this gallery photos have created a positive image of these little pocket pals.

Late 2009, with aging rats, and just one sole female left, I adopted Schnuggles (born Aug/Sept 09) to keep Ruby company. But knowing Ruby was old and probably had just a couple of months left, (she lived over 4 months longer) I adopted a little girl so Schnuggle would have a companion, but more were adopted. Cortez, the last of Mr. Soul's offspring, was 37 months old when he was euthanized due to old age ailments.
2010 adoptions: Ushanka, a Capped Dumbo, born Dec. 30, 2009, very sweet & bold little lady. Jan. 31, adopted 3 Dumbo boys, Ushanka's brothers, Blond Jovi, HOGi & Crooked Line. The dumbos & Schnuggles all have been spayed or neutered. Latest images in front Enjoy!

Well, I have seen everything. Cute, but the rats here just eat the bird food droped from the feeders, then sometimes a hawk eats the rat.

I love all of your pictures. I think three boys in the hood is adorable. Star pupil is beautiful. Blond jovi is precious. Do you know I like ratties?

Love your rats! Thanks for sharing. I had one in the classroom and she was great! She loved to take showers when I turned the water on.
