It's true!
I had went to the pet store gung ho in getting a black bear hamster, and I ended up getting two rats, one I gave back because she was extremely mean, and kept the other, her name was Zazu, and she was pregnant, oops!
I kept one baby, named her Pocha (short for Pocahontas)
She grew to be almost 3, but had gotten rapidly growing tumors and had to be euthanized.
She was my girl. I haven't had a rat since who loved me so much, I miss her all the time and it's been 2 years, maybe 3. No one has filled her void quite yet.
Last year after moving into an apartment and going back to school, I adopted two sisters, Violet and Olive Oil. in March.

Violet grew to be outgoing, friendly, didn't nip, less sick, and Olive the opposite of Violet.
Olive eventually got more sick, and started getting tumors let and right, first one, then 4 in a few days, and had to be euthanized. Violet in the beginning was depressed, still ate but wasn't herself. So after a month or so I got Cleo, Cleo is the sick one I posted a thread about somewhere in ER. She's cute, has dumbo ears which I wanted, and I think she looks like a raccoon. I named her Cleo after the fish in Pinocchio !
I probably will post all of my funny photos here when I get them unless there is a different place.
Here during out time for Violet.. she stole my oat bar.. out of the wrapper and hid under the paper holder thing. Was pretty funny.

Anyway, I have a dog named Ellie who is almost 5, and has three legs because of an accident, and also a saltwater fish tank!

I find rats much more interactive than hamsters, but then again, it has been almost 40 years since I had hamsters! LOL
