RATS ARE THE BEST I love rats! They are wonderful pets and live with 4! I got my first rat at the pet store when my hamster died. She is a black hooded rat named CiCi! Then I got my second rat at the pet store too. Now the story for this one is : Well I went to the pet store to get cat food and decided to look at the rats. They had one female in the cage with 10 or 12 males! All of the males were attacking the poor little female and trying to mate with her! Well at that very moment I decided that I NEEDED A friend for the rat that I currently had! Well that rat turned out to be a real sweety, she is a silver hooded rat and is sooo beautiful that I called her Belle because it means beautiful in French!
