lol a rat? I think they're so damn ugly and disturbing!
gonk BUT! I never really saw on as a pet until one of my best friends got one. I have no idea how he acquired the rat, i just know he had to go back home and now i'm the owner of the rat. The best pet in the world!
heart Perhaps two rats is better than one, but i spend a lot of time with my rat, because they're very social (as mentioned in this thread)
3nodding Just be prepared coz they piss a lot! At least mine does
rofl Crazy rat!

You'll never make up for the presence of another rat, though. Think about it, you're 1000x bigger than this rat, and you don't 'speak' the language of a rat, either. You aren't able to sleep&cuddle with them in their hammocks, you aren't able to wrestle with them, and you aren't able to sit down to a nice meal of rat blocks with them.
Rats who live in pairs and groups are known to live longer and are not as likely to face depression. Depression can be a serious matter in rats, and in many cases if not dealt with (And they can't just take medication) they actually end up passing away.
And actually, rats don't really pee that much unless they're marking territory. but besides that, a spayed/neutered rat doesn't mark nearly as much.
