Well-socialized, healthy rats are a delight. They don't bite except for a playful nibble (like a puppy or kitten) & if that's a problem they can easilly be trained out of it. They're not dirty, they wash themselves all the time like cats do.

When I was a kitten, I was afraid of rats b/c I believed the propaganda & I'm so glad to know the truth. These little guys are loving, smart & playful, a joy to live with & a it's a blast interacting with them.

As for wild rats, I'd be much more nervous encountering wild dogs.

rats are cleaner and smarter than most animals. including you.

Rats are extremely clean by nature. They often lick themselves clean several times a day.

Rats get blamed on a lot of things, even though it's the humans who should be blamed. Why are rats blamed for spreading diseases? Could it be because humans put trash everywhere, and it's just a magnet for other disease carry pests, like mosquitoes, flies, etc. So when rats smell the food, they'll go eat the food, and if the food is contaminated, they rats become contaminated, and they get blamed for spreading diseases.

Bit of a silly question really. My friend had rat and I handled them often, they are very calm and very intelliagnt creature that would only bite if you give them a reason (as would any animal, or human for that matter) I dont think this is the place for vilifying animals.

I am a rat owner and currently have 11 and I would be lost without them they are the most loving, sweet natured pets a person could have and my mum, sister, nephew and many more people I know are big time rat lovers. So don't call all rats dirty disease spreaders only vermin rats are dirty. Get your self a pet (fancy) rat and find out for your self my rats are very cuddly kissy loving boys and girls.
