HB, you mean to tell me Cananda doesn't even have wild rats? I mean of all rats that would be the one to not be missed, but I was just wondering? Is it too cold for them to survive the winters there?

Joe, getting your older rat a little rat friend may keep them "younger" for a little while, and give the dear something to fuss over?  I know older dogs get a youthful kick out of having younger dog around.

Her friend looks fine but I feel so sad for her bieng alone..  R.I.P. Oprah ratt xxx
