I have a new rat in my life. Yes, I know that rats gross out some of you city-dwellers, but anyway. We once had two rats (supposedly they are super social and need company to be well-adjusted…) but no matter how much we handled them every day, it seemed like they didn’t grow up to be very friendly rats. Rattina, for better or worse, was born in a classroom and handled for hours every day and is amazingly friendly.
Now I am actually considering buying a $100 cage for her that is named the Rat Skyscraper. What is the world coming to? If not, then I might have to construct something like the Dapper Rat Grotto.
Also, she sneezes. Does anybody know anything about rat sicknesses or allergies? I bet she is allergic to her cedar chips.
Right now as I am typing, she is wandering about on the tile floor and has just come over to sniff my feet.
