What is the origin story of your pet rats?

Fun facts about your rats?

We picked up our first pair of pet rats when my son started Kindergarten, he is now in Grade 7. The rats turned out to be amazing companions for him—and me too! They are social, friendly, curious and always up for a little adventure. The only con to having them is their lives are, sadly short. So, we keep a few of them at any one time to make sure we always have the lovely furries with us.

All our rats are female—they smell less than the males.

They eat rat food from a bag.

They miss their humans when they are gone.

They each have a distinct personality!
