    I put yes, I own them but my dad and brothers do, not me. I want one though. He has a himi female and a black female with a litter, and 4 almost full grown. The 4 are SO tame, when you open the cage they try and crall on you and if you put your hand in the cage they will run up your arms and onto your shoulder They sit there for 30 or more minutes until I put them back. One, Cinnamon, will run right back up your arm if you put her back.

    So, where's the option "Yes, in the future?"

    would you ever own a pet rat?

    Well I had gerbals years ago.. I think now I have too many cats to get away with having a rat..

    Hmm... it is a no for me. Nothing personal against rats, just not my kind of pet (like the poll says).

    I've seen some beautiful ones, and have enjoyed handling other people's pet rats, but it isn't the most logical pet choice for me. When I go to get out a snake, I don't want to have to worry that I have some rat-smell left on the sleeve of my shirt, for instance.

    Plus, there are simply too many other pets I would desperately love to own that I know I could never make my way through the list of things I would like to own before a rat in my lifetime.

    And lastly, I think my guy might have even more issues with the whole 'snake food' angle if he got to know some rats personally, and found out how much personality they can have.

    Same here, I'm more of a dog person. Wouldn't know what to do with a rat.
