    You ever have a pet rat drag their big ass balls across your face?

    Well I haven’t either, but got close with a friend’s pet rat. (Btw,I grew up with dogs, made a living training dogs for some time, was even a “kennel coach” for some time at the local ASPCA!) But rats are pretty dope, and I will preach their awesomeness at any opportunity.

    Get more then one! They are social creatures!

      I have not had that experience no… My family bred and trained dogs for 3 generations, mostly sled dogs and k9 for the local cops (this was the 50s and Alaska) and more recently we raised pythons, along with rats to feed them. Breeders graduated to pet and got cushy retirements in the giant birdcage we set up.
