This
is our adorable pet rat, Squirmy. She is true to her name because
even though she likes being held and cuddled, she sure is squirmy; she
wants to wiggle out of our hands to explore around! On the day we picked
her at the pet store (because she was the cutest one there), she jumped
right out of my hand and started running around the store. We have loved
her since then! She is such a good rat; she never bites or fusses and is
as cute n pretty as ever!
My boyfriend and I share her so she is at his place half the time and
mine the rest. We both spoil her with lots of treats and toys. We
recently bought her a two-storied cage (upgrade from a single storied
one!), which she seems to enjoy quite a bit. We have seen those
hamster/rat leashes at the store and might try that so we can walk her a
little longer but we aren't sure how successful we will be in training
her to do that! She might start leading us instead and then we would be
walking around in circles!! :)
Rats make wonderful pets. They just have a bad reputation with people; I
usually get horrified looks from people upon mention of a pet rat!! I
used to have hamsters when I was younger but rats are even better. They
are very clean, friendly, cuddly and intelligent animals. Our first rat
was before Squirmy, and she was just as friendly and adorable! We sure
love our Squirmy girl, and recommend rats to anyone looking for a great pet!!
