My Dad (who i don't live with, he's visiting NL and staying with my grandmother) has a HUGE problem with the rats. He knows he cant make me get rid of them, but everytime we talk it's about how dirty and full of diseases the rats are. Almost every conversation is about how he'd like for me to get rid of them and how he doesn't agree with them. So i have a few questions so that in defending my babies i don't lie to my father.
1. Rat Scratches.
You all know what i mean when i say the ratties can give you little scratches with their nails. Can you contract any diseases from them when they scratch you?
2. Dirt.
Dad HATES them because he says they're pure dirty and the dirtiest animals out there. Now, he said their dirty aswell because they walk in their own fecies, but i told him that (gross warning) a lot of animals will eat their poo for once reason or another, and dogs, cats, horses etc will trot in their crap aswell.
So are the ratties really that dirty?
3. If theres anything else about diseases you can contract form the rats that is good to know, please help me out!
Thanks!
