Today I am the proud owner of two new baby rats! Problem is, I have no idea what to name them, so I'm open to suggestions. They're sisters.

Several people have said this. What is it a reference to?

You don't know? :C
It's a cartoon from the 90's about two lab rats. Ones a genius the other a moron.

Ah. I was too young in the 90s to remember these things ;)

Boo! I was young but not that young. You should look it up and watch a few episodes.

I think your cats would win. These guys are not the brightest just yet.

Well sure, wild rats can be, but these guys are bred to be cute and cuddly! Rats are extremely smart and love people, they're basically like dogs but smaller and less work.

Thank you!! I have always said this! (Tortillas, actually, but close enough) Everybody thinks I am so weird for saying that, but it's true!

Rats are extremely smart. They will eventually get out if you do not have a very secure cage.

I do don't worry. I've had 7 rats before this, I know their conniving little brains.

Aw :) I wanna get some pet rodents. I had a pet gerbil a couple years ago but it died :'(

:( rats are definitely the best rodents, if you ask me. They're trainable, very social, love to play with you, and are very friendly (I've had 7, these now make 9, and never once been bitten)

You're totally making me want a pet rat. You should link pictures of your enclosure

You mean like the cage, or the rats themselves?

foxycheese202 A Mormon

Both! But mostly the cage. What's conducive to happy rats?

Relatively big cage, stuff to climb on, peanuts and fruit (as snacks, not as their only diet), lots of human interaction, a rat buddy, a clean cage but not sterile (they like their own smell), things to chew, a place to run around, and love!

A good sized rat cage is pretty expensive, but I got mine at a garage sale for $10. Used ones a generally a LOT cheaper bc people really want to get rid of them and free up garage space.

Weren't the lab mice? Maybe they were rats. I thought they were mice.
