Essential factors for a happy and successful Common Rat adoption
Characteristics that make you the perfect rat parent, ready to provide love and mental stimulation.
Creating the ideal living environment where your rats will thrive and feel secure.
The essential commitments that ensure your rats receive lifelong love and proper care.
Resources and support systems that help ensure a successful adoption experience for everyone.
Common rats are highly social and intelligent! They absolutely MUST live in pairs or groups - single rats become depressed and can develop serious behavioral issues. These remarkable pets can learn their names, come when called, and even master complex tricks. Consider adopting an already bonded pair or trio for the best experience. Their intelligence rivals that of dogs, making them incredibly rewarding companions when properly socialized and enriched.
