Rats have rabies, then they get mean & start chattering their sharp teeth and drooling.
After they escape they sit on your chest while your sleeping & eat your face.

Rats make nice pets. I used to have mice and loved them. I keep critters in my classroon, I have frogs and toads. The kids love them! But my pet cat at home doesn't like when I bring them home for vacation time.

OMG - the kids have a white rat also- his name is Matches becuase of his red eyes!! My daughter won him in a drawing at school - It was very cool... The Iowa State Extention Office - gave each classroom 2 rats..for 6 weeks...They fed one junk food and one health food - then showed the kids what would happen to you if u did not eat healthy food...All Matches eats is lettuce, seeds, M&M's carrotts, tomatoes, bread and cookies....He is a good pet..but am I right that their life span is rather short...?

I used to try and get parents to buy pet rats for their kids instead of those stupid mean hamsters. They make great pets - very social and smart.

Rats generally live for about 2 years, rather sad really.
