Rats !
 

Anybody have rats?

I got my first ones about 2 weeks ago from the SPCA. I'm very impressed. They're now even toilet trained.

They're still quite skittish ie: run away at sudden movements and dont really like to be held but thats cool. At least they don't bite.

haha how does your dog feel?

The dog isn't too impressed. I think its worried its getting displaced.

Very cool. Which SPCA did you get them from ?
I know Richmond had two that were very friendly, and Vancouver had a litter of 12 plus mom. Mom wasn't that into being handled, the babies were pretty friendly though.

I got mom and daughter from the Vancouver SPCA. The males were on loan that day. I'm thinking of setting up a second cage and connecting them up with a pipe.

I take back the toilet training part. I left the cage open last night so they can play outside on the window ledge while I slept. I read they're supposed to be nocturnal. There were about 4 droppings and a small trail of piss. No biggie, the ledge is granite. I think they might do that to find their way back to their cage.
