hi i have a rat question /////lol///// wat do rat tails feel like does it feel slimy or a shaved dog or cat and i beed information on rats are they cheaper than hamsters at petco thanks

Answers:

A rats tail is made up of tiny skin scales arranged in the same way as a snake's scales. Each rat tail scale holds two to three tiny hairs. Petted the way the scales grow, the tail feels smooth, like skin, and neither slippery nor slimy. The tail is dry and silky to the touch. Petted in the opposite direction, the tail feels like that shaved dog you speak of.

The rat's tail is a marvelous appendage

Rats tails feel much like a shaved dog. I have own rats for years. They make wonderful pets. I don't know which is cheaper but between a rat & hamster, it is only a few bucks.

Food for either is about the same as well. Hamster are much quicker to bite, they spend most of their time sleeping and burrowing. Rats, enjoy human company, it has been tested by science that they are far smarter than other rodents. I have owned both and if you can get past the tail and the reputation, rats are a far better choice.

rats can cost from $5-$25, I think hamsters can be more. there tails feel like skin, sort of soft.

It feels like a guy who hasn't shaved *lol*

Rats from the pet store are cheaper then hamsters.. the going rate for rats is usually $2-5 depending on age and size.

hamsters is usually $8-15

If you want an animal that is more sociable and you want to handle a lot then get a rat.

They are really like small dogs. you can train them to do tricks, or they are just hilarious to watch. You will want to get 2 rats though as they do best in pairs since they are a very social animal.
