Rat babies - for N's birthday. We've been talking about it for quite some time. She's turning 8, and is definitely to a point where she can take on their day-to-day care. She's really been wanting something small and cuddly that she can hold and pet, and these guys should fit the bill. We bring the boys home tomorrow.
We're getting rescue rats through the humane society. You can see them here for now (I'll put photos up after we get them home) UPDATE: they're no longer listed, but I encourage people to use petfinder.com if they're looking for a pet! The description says that they haven't been handled much, but that was before they were sent off to foster care. They returned a few weeks ago, and are now quite friendly, and very good with the kids. When we started considering rats as pets, it never occurred to me to go to the humane society, but (unfortunately) they really have nearly every type of pet available for adoption. We were in the "small pet" portable today, and there were cages of hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, ferrets, guinnea pigs, mice, and rats. If you're ever in the market for a small animal, please consider adopting!
