Hello Rat Shack,
For the past 5 years or I have wanted rats but never had the space for them or my living space would not allow it. I will be getting 2 rats in the next week or 2. FINALLY! :happydance: They are letting me have the first pick of the little but I can't decide on Males or females. I have been searching this site for about an hour or 2 now without any luck on the subject. Some brief comments about males marking, and females in heat, a few strange behaviors, and lazy males. But when it gets down to it which is better for a new rat owner.
There is no question that me and my boyfriend will be spoiling them and will want to snuggle and play with them.
I am sure it has been a topic of discussion before, so I am sorry for any repeats.
I have done my own research, but often find most sites to exaggerate or be misinformed.
I have grown accustomed to finding a lot of my information from the Rat Shack or sites it's members recommend. I would greatly appreciate any information that you have that may help me with my decision.
Thank you all in advance for you assistance.
p.s. I have pictures of the babies on my phone I just need to transfer them over.
