Rats are not dirty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


You are basing this off what you hear other people say and the medias image of rats. Rats are very clean animals, alot cleaner than mice and do not stink unless you don't clean the cage, which would make them stinky because of you not cleaning. They groom themselves more than cats!!!! And you don't know if you would like them or not if you have never held one. Most rat people hated rats until they held them. And to compare them to slugs is ridiculous!!! Slugs are slimy, rats are not. Slugs move about one inch every three hours, rats do not. Rats kiss, brux when happy, learn tricks like agility and tight rope etc.


You cannot make an assumption based on things you have heard. I think a little of your moms rat phobia rubbed off on you.
