Hello from a new member!
I'm a complete rat novice but doing lots of reading up in readiness for getting a pair of female rats. I want rats because they are friendly, interested and intelligent.
I was advised to buy from a breeder who's handled the rats every day which seemed good advice. But when I went round to see the rats, they obviously hadn't been handled and they weren't eating, the breeder said. They were very skittish and I didn't get to handle them because she had several cats circling!
What should I do? Should I go ahead and get these 3 month old rats, or should I walk away? I would really appreciate your advice.
