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.
:( 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)
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.
