As far as rats go, it depends on where you get them from. Breeders can charge anywhere from $7 to 50 dollars depending on type. Pet shops anywhere from $3 to 25. Rescues usually either give them away for free or charge a very minimal fee. Why do you ask? hehe
Wow, too bad you didn't take a picture! (I don't know if you would still have it anyway. ) That would be very neat!

Okay, well, I was looking at the hooded ratties, gosh they are so doggone cute! I got a picture of one, but the reflection of my camera ended up in it.

Well, I had no clue what the price range was, so I was sort of surprised when they were only $4.99.

I hope that the ratties don't go to bad homes, since they are so cheap, or go to homes where they will feed them to snakes. Yes, I know that snakes have to eat, too, but...

Thanks, Cass.
