My father recently got a rat as a pet.

The little thing is really quite cute and friendly, likes being rubbed behind the ears. Of course it's also a sh!t machine.

Make sure it doesn't start a plague.

Yeah that's always a risk with small rodents as pets though.

Why would a grown man get a pet rat?

Why would anyone get any kind of pet?

 

[Crono]

Give him a backpack 🙂

I had a pet rat when I was a kid, it was pretty cool.

A mate had a full on albino one when we were kids. It was great, and very good at doing obstacle courses.

Why not? Intelligent, friendly animals that don't need a great deal of maintenance.

 

[mdchesne]

rats are ok... they seem to bite a bit more than the "normal" rodent pets.

 

[JulesMaximus]

See, rats and mice are the reason I have cats. I don't want those filthy vermin in my house.

Those white rats get tumors fairly often. I knew a girl with a white rat. It had a tumor growing off of its stomach that was bigger than his whole body. He just sat there trying to run away from his tumor... like it was a ball and chain. Pretty disgusting.

 

[Mayfriday0529]

I always wanted one.

How cute will he look when you have the plague?

Not as far as I can tell. I think it looked worse than it was.
