Pet rats

Rats are intelligent, highly social animals that can make incredibly rewarding pets when cared for properly. Due to their intelligence, curiosity, and playfulness, they can form close bonds with their human carers, making them a great choice for those seeking a loyal companion. However, they have complex needs and aren't easy to look after well. While pet rats are often considered a good choice for children, due to their size, they still require careful handling and supervision to ensure their safety and well-being.
