Our Analysis... I think it is obvious at this point just how much we love rats, but that doesn't mean that we think everyone should go blindly out and adopt some. This is an important decision that should be carefully considered. If it is not, it is the animal that will suffer. To get an absolute complete view of rats, you should read and explore this entire site. But if you don't have time for such an undertaking, we also have conveniently included the following pages; "First, The Good", "Then The Bad." They are abbreviated lists of all the good and bad points to having rats as a companion animal. If someone would like to contribute further to this list, please just let us know.     "We love you Mom!"
