I've never had a rat, but my friend used to have one. Musky's favourite game was running around the back garden till my friend called her then she would run over, straight up my friend's leg, and onto her shoulder - then they'd go shopping with Musky perched like a pirate's parrot. All the local shops knew her and the staff would get quite upset if my friend went in alone :)

that is so cute :D only one of mine will stay on my shoulder but if he spots something interesting he will try to jump onto it :D

I've never owned pet rats lilian, but one of our daughter's has. The last two were Martha & Muffin, now sadly passed away. They were so interesting to watch & very clean - never thought I'd say that, but they were!

Daily Mail Letters - Out Of The Mouths Of Babes:
Coming from an animal loving family, my ten year old granddaughter's response to a neighbour's claim that he had seen a rat in the garden was: "But Nana, he doesn't know he's a rat, and that nobody likes him!".
Mrs B Wood, Clevedon, Somerset.

I though that was so sweet.

awww that is such a cute story smudge, one of my rats is called smudge :D they others are popcorn, jacko (michael jackson-Jacko, my brother was obsessed hence the name) and badger. they are very very clean and i only have to clean them out once a week and they use a litter box :D

Ah, I feel quite honoured to have a pet named after me - or should I say after our beautiful cat Smudge. She was a Russian Blue lookalike & was with us for 13 years. We now have Milly - in the photo on my Avatar, who looks just like Smudge once did.

I love names of your other pet rats too - they really are very entertaining! ;o}

thanks very much :D i would really really like to breed them as they have such lovely temperments that shouold be passed on but alas mum won't allow it :( and im sorry to hear about smudge but milly is a really cutie

[smudge]

Thank you lilian - it broke our hearts when Smudge had to be put to sleep some years back....

Our daughters surprised me with Milly two years ago on my birthday. Her tiny head & ears popped out of a little glittery gift bag & I promptly burst into tears with joy! She has a lovely temperament too & follows me everywhere!

I can understand why your Mum doesn't want you to have too many rats, but maybe when you're older & leave home, you can have as many as you want! ;o}

that must have been a shock, a kitten out of a bag :D

and yes i quess so but i dont really even want to sell them i want them to go to good homes for people that would normally go to a pet shop and buy them :D
