I was just wondering about them because I have been wanting another dog, but it looks like it isnt going anywhere with my parents sooo, I decide to go to the next best thing rats. I have been doing some homework on them. and they sound very interesting! If I could have 2 rats they would probably be boys, because the internet pages on rat care was saying the male rats are more calmer when female rats are more energetic. Is it true rat owners?

I hear this a lot, but generally my boys and girls have the same amount of energy. Some girls I have had in the past were hyper constantly.
