Why do people say that hate rats because of their tails2007-11-24 22:19:47

My friend is a student teacher and wanted to get a class pet for her science class. I told her what great pets rats make and how good they are with children. She got two females and the kids loved them! They went home and told their families that they have pet rats in the classroom and got the word out how nice and gentle they are.

I love educating people on rats and changing their point of view.

i know it is just rude i absolutly love rats but my last rat died after he got in to my bottle of motrin and ate some and the trama of watching him pass away has not subsided so i did not get another rat yet

i think people just dnt like the feel of it or something coz there long as well, but i don't understand how people can like hamsters and squirrels but not a rat,

i think rats are a great pet to have.

I'm guessing your new to having rats as pets?

You'll get used to this stuff.People either seem to love rats or hate them.Very few folk just think they're OK.

Ignore people who mention the plague.That was caused by the fleas of the black rat.The rats that are kept as pets are domesticated brown rats-different species etc-just tell them that.

because they dont like that their tails are sort of scaly and naked. idk why people dont like them

un fortunatly it is because dim people think back to the black death but those unfortunate people do not realised that the plague actually caused by the flees were also carried by cats and dogs i love my long tailed friends

I know its so annoying, my Grandma hates it when my couisns are over here and they want to see my pet rat, she shivers just thinking about it, and then she judges the rat by its tail saying its ugly, wen she's beautiful! She even shivers when someone has a loose tooth and wiggles it. Its so annoying, and without thier tails they'ed be Gerbils or hamsters.
