Pet rats have been domesticated for centuries, being kept and bred as pets. Pet rats are still considered slightly taboo; with their popularity not yet reaching that of pet hamsters. Pet rats are intelligent, and pet rats are very friendly. Pet rats make incredible pets for children, because of their docile, friendly, and generally non-aggressive personalities. You wouldn’t believe just how well of a bond pet rats and children can build!
If you have never owned a rat, you should definitely consider getting your very first rat kit (or kitten) for a pet. Baby rats can also be called pups, but are generally referred to as kits. Rats as companions need plenty of attention, much like a playful puppy. Companion rats also need to be located near the family members, so they too can watch and observe the family behavior, while not being left out. Rats get bored very easily!
It is also very important to get your rat a second rat companion. This is because they are very family oriented, and need at least one cage mate to spend their days with. A lonely rat can become a very depressed rat. To keep your pet happy, be sure to get him or her a friend, preferably same sex to prevent unwanted litters of rat kits. Rats can breed very quickly and produce anywhere from 7 to 14 kits on average, with a 21-24 day gestation on average. You may not be able to handle so many rats, so be sure to be safe rather than sorry!
